Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heat shimmer
Hips quiver
Open smother
Lipped lover
[Verse 2]
Dead in the middle of the c o double m o n
Little did I know then that the mandela boys
Soon become mandela men
Razor blades on a melted toothbrush
Assassin de la police
[Verse 3]
Heat shimmer
Silky glistener
Open smother
Lipped lover
[Verse 4]
Dead in the middle of the c o double m o n
Little did I know then that the mandela boys
Soon become mandela men
[Verse 5]
Silent knife
Unholy knife
I've fallen for the black outside my window
[Verse 6]
On the C O double M O N
On the C O double M O N
[Verse 7]
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
And of all the things I love
And I will die for you
And I'll wait to think I love you
Here waiting from the view
Oh divided down the line
The line that calls for you
And the world for two for two
