What Slayde Says
Nomeansno

================

Slayde is my buddy, my pal, he is my brother

I am one, he is the other

When the sun shines, he is my shadow

And when the moon is high, it's at his feet I lie

But I'll never listen to what Slayde says

I'll never listen to what Slayde says

Slayde's always talking, and it's rarely nice

He's always whispering his poisonous advice

He is secretive, ruthless and cold

He mentions just enough and leaves the rest untold

He said, Don't ever risk an open attack, just smile

Into their faces and then stab them in the back

But Slayde, I said, what about the weak,

The helpless and the small?

He just sneered and said, Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all

He said I am a murderer, although I've killed no one

You talk in puzzles Slayde, I said, what have you really done?

I've cut the twining cord, I've shot the turtle dove,

I've shut out that precious light that shines from above

Slayde, you are a poet, I said

But what are you truly speaking of?

He smiled and whispered, I murdered love

He smiled and whispered, I murdered love

I guess I hate him, no, that's not really true

He's not completely bad, sometimes he'll crack a joke or two

I guess I've grown accustomed to his funny ways

It's not his fault that he was made that way

I hear him in my sleep, I see him in my dreams

I see him crouched before some terrible machine

And then I face a mirror and he steps in between

Can you tell me, what does this mean?

Can you tell me, what does this mean?

Now I lay me down to sleep

And pray to God my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

You'll know I've made my escape

But there is one step I'll never take

I'll never listen to what a Slayde says...
