Lyrics Branded Youth - Earthling

You be the Bonny baby I'll be the Cly-Clyde*
Let me take you, take on another ride
I'll get you back to your papa by teatime
We're gonna ease time, we're gonna freeze time
I'll be your alibi, I'll be your samurai.

Got what you wanted in the end right,
Didn't see you coming in my headlights,
Me and the monkey gonna go on strike,
Breaking out of prison like I'm Dolomite.

I'm only what I'm like when I'm on the mic
I keep my friends tight.

Plug my mic in, keep fighting
Not a black thing, not a white thing
Reading Richard Wright getting lost like lightning
I'm like the kids in that movie called The Shining
I've got a plan more simple than Simon

She only stays with me because she thinks she has to,
I wanna know but I'm too scared to ask her,
I can't write because my hands are made of plasma,
She only stays with me because she thinks she has to,
I wanna know but I'm too scared to ask her,
I can't write because my hands are made of plaster,
Wickedness is getting easier to master.

All this losing got me into new things
I'm in the pawn shop pawning the diamond rings,
I buy a gun with the money that they bring,
She's with me, she's close but we aint faking.

Didn't see you coming in my headlights,
Me and the monkey gonna go on strike,
Breaking out of prison like I'm Dolomite.
