Autobiographical funk-composition “Bats” tells about hard way of formation and evolution of an extraordinary person in conditions of a severe family crisis, and also about a choice between passive reflection and destruction of a stale fundamentals.
lyrics
When I was a child
Parents crumbled halva
To the basement where I
Saw the dreams awake
There I liked to sit
In the surrounding darkness
Rubbin' 'gainst the walls
And thinkin' 'bout good, yeah
I used to drink a lot there
Everythin' I got
My hands were tremblin'
"I need to get some more"
But several bats
Helped me to survive
They got used to grasp
The alcoholic nights
And so I grew up
And soon I climbed out
My parents gave me somethin'
Else to taste -
A couple of parental
simple admontions
"Nevermind! I'm adult!
I'm just goin' away!
Goodbye!"
But I couldn't go away
Without all my friends
I went back to the basement
And called the bats
Bats were happy
To see an old friend
And so we walked away
Helpin' each other
I don't know, do you know, babe
There are some cases
We have problems -
But it's just love
There are in my head
Several bats!
They got used to grasp
In suckin' my head's blood!
THEY SUCK!
THEY SUCK IT!
