Roky Erickson – Something Extra lyrics

There was confusion in every or any dimension
The transfusion of whom you do not want to be
There seemed to be no good intention
The transfusion of places you do not want to be and see
Depression had set upon the land
There was no chance of segregation banned
Paranoia and the end time was at hand
The devil's word was not known to understand

Something extra to overcome the distance
Something extra to look ahead foresee
Something extra to be away from danger
Something extra to politely keep our privacy

Peace overlaying peace
Never running out to wrong
Getting fed to the beast
Something extra quoting demons
Doing sculpture, a tap dance, and/or a song
He was born in a manger
Wise men travel far to see
Good news in the paper
Resurrection, second coming
Of the devils may tempt again please read

Something extra shines and brings more home
Yes, it do
Tis something that is always more
Tis love, and I love you
There is something more
And may meet the eye
There is nothing more to him
For he's all positivity and he never dies

Tis not tearing yourself out in holes that turns me on
Tis not dying in any way, shape or form
Tis not out passing so there is no alarm
Tis not bowing to any wrong
Tis not problems to bring miracles for a remedy
Tis something extra that is foreseen
Something is all he knows to bring miracles with
Something extra is to rise above disbelief of no negativity

There was as deafness
There was as blindness
There was no sense
There was no kindness

Something extra to overcome the distance
Something extra to look ahead foresee
Something extra to be away from danger
Something extra to politely keep our privacy
Extra, extra, read all about it, extra, extra, read all about it
Extra, extra, read all about something extra
