O Lord, Big Bunny -
screen and skin and a bag of money
What'd the cop say? From your limousine
you rule that city o'er the rainbow
O Lord, Bug Bunny -
tears will fall in your cocktail, honey,
when love hurts think of her,
burn as you recall she's not the one.
O Lord, Big Bunny -
girls on boys in the back row
Funny, what your lover said to the President
should've rolled that city o'er the rainbow
O Lord, Big Bunny -
the (???)
plays everyday, make a perfect date
to get her against the wall
She's not the one who screamed
the one you held down
but the one who whispers "come here, baby,
I want to see my name in lights"
Not a one did scream
no one held down
but everyone calls "come here, baby,
I want to see, oh come here, see me"
O Lord, Big Bunny -
wicked witches in a fat man's tummy
caught monkeying, should be calling on
or falling for the Queen of Angels
O Lord, Big Bunny -
L.A. roses on your grave now, dummy,
cut a piece of them for your enemy
you promised her a face
She's not the one who screamed
the one you held down
but the one who whispers "come here, baby,
I want to see my name in lights"
Not a one did scream
no one held down
but everyone calls "come here, baby,
I want to see, oh come here, see me"

Kill all, Orpheus all
pyramid hung for a taste
crawl the world, call out
a ruin of rain from a skyborne nation
Kill all, Orpheus all
miracle hung for a snake
crawl the worlds, return
immutable name gifted for your Lady
All you meet might weep for singing
king or queen or field of shades
sadder days drift sweetly into stone
Kill all, Orpheus all
dream all along for a face
ivory gate or horn
horns in my head burn all traces
All that be He steal for singing
king or queen or muse of rain
sun and days drift sweet and starve for home
Steal all men, O Lord, and save me
All who weep or seek for singing
king or queen in evening rain (reign?)
under skin of days roll hearts of stone
Kill all, Orpheus all, and save me
Kill all, Orpheus, Lord
