[Intro]

[Verse]
Up above the moon
And underneath the gun
Far away from Mississippi
All the buttons come undone
A hornet s nest inside my brain
Rattling like a submachine
[Chorus]
Saran Wrap and little colored balloons
A black nickel, a needle and a spoon
You say this is ain t what I am?
Well, this is what I do to warn your ghost away
I know you don t believe in magic
Nobody does, not anymore
[Instrumental]
| | |
[Verse]
This uniform is stifling
It s hotter than the heat
That s smothering my shoulders
nd burning up my feet
Every word s under review,
But the jury s guilty, too.
[Chorus]
Saran Wrap and little colored balloons
A black nickel, a needle and a spoon
You say this is ain t what I am?
Well, this is what I do to warn your ghost away
I know you don t believe in magic
Nobody does, not anymore
[Instrumental]
| | |
[Verse]
I watch the waves roll in
And roll out just the same
Like a song and dance,
It s the oldest of his games
I shut my eyes but through these tears
A mean old world reappears
[Chorus]
Saran Wrap and little colored balloons
A black nickel, a needle and a spoon
You say this is ain t what I am?
Well, this is what I do to warn your ghost away
I know you don t believe in magic
Nobody does, not anymore
[Verse]
Why try and tell you,
When you don t give a ?
You don t believe in magic?
You don t believe in luck?
There is no right , There is no wrong
Same damn chorus, same damn song
[Chorus]
Saran Wrap and little colored balloons
A black nickel, a needle and a spoon
You say this is ain t what I am?
Well, this is what I do to warn your ghost away
I know you don t believe in magic
Nobody does, not anymore
[Bridge]
I held my hands out,
Blood stained and I got my doubts
I tried to wash it off
Yeah, I tried to wash it off
Red as Southern clay
Blood-red as Mississippi clay
And yes, it still remains
Goddammit, it still remains!
Where is Pilate s water?
Tell me! Where is Pilate s water?
Nightmares in daylight!
I m stealing the birthright!
Off 16th and Mission!
Off 16th and Mission!
I took an ambulance ride
They said I should ve died
Right there on 16th and Mission,
on 16th and Mission
I still miss you so much
I still miss you so goddamn much
On 16th and Mission
I m right here at 16th and Mission
Sing it!
[Outro]
