Rock 'n' Roll Nigger - Live

I haven't fucked much with the past
But I've fucked plenty with the future
Over the silk of skin are scars
From the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed
Each bolt heaven, each bolt of wood
Like a log of Helen was my pleasure

I would measure the success of a night by the amount of piss and seed
I could exude over the columns that nestled the PA
Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping on a net
A skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dangled and flashed
The lights were violet and violent, for a while I had an ornamental veil
But I couldn't bear to use it

But my hair was cropped, I craved covering
But now my hair itself is a veil under which
Inside of a crazy and a sleepy Comanche
Lies beneath this netting of skin
And I wake up

I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun
I desire him and he is absolutely ready to serve me
In heart, I am a Moslem, in heart, I am an American artist
I have no guilt, I seek pleasure, I seek the nerves under your skin
The narrow archway, the layers, the scroll of ancient lettuce
We worship the flaw, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore
He spared the child and spoiled the rod
I have not sold myself to God

Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby got big and baby get bigger
Baby get something, baby get more
Baby, baby, baby was a rock and roll nigga

Oh, look around you, all around you
Riding on a copper wave
Do you like the world around you?
Are you ready to behave?

Outside of society
They're waitin' for me
Outside of society
That's where I want to be

Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
You know she got big, well, she's gonna get bigger
Baby got a hand, got a finger on the trigger
Baby, baby, baby is a rock and roll nigga

Outside of society
That's where I want to be
Outside of society
They're waitin' for me

Outside, outside, outside
Outside, outside, outside

I was lost in a valley of pleasure
I was lost in the infinite sea
I was lost, and measure for measure
Love spewed from the heart of me

I was lost, and the cost
And the cost didn't matter to me
I was lost, and the cost
Was to be outside society

Jimi Hendrix was a nigga
Jesus Christ and grandma, too
Jackson Pollock was a nigga
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga

Outside of society
Outside of society, outside of society
Outside of society, outside of society
Outside (outside), outside (outside)
Outside (outside), outside (outside)
Outside (outside), outside (outside)
Outside (outside)

Outside of society
They're waiting for me
Outside of society
Outside of society
