PUT IT IN SEE WHAT IT DOES, Zan de Parry
"I stand at a table playing blackjack
I drink 10 b-52s
The atmosphere is hot to the limit
I tough out some puke
Don stands next to me
More moral support for the monkey
The stakes are to the limit
I tough out more puke
Tonight there’ll be glory in the streets
All the houses in a glory
It was glory yesterday when it rained
Today is winter and the glory inhales
Something’s about to begin
Yes, at some point something must begin
I want to let my hair down and hold it in my hands"
