Verse 1: (0:18-)

Walking the street with her naked feet
So full of rhythm but I can't find the beat
Snapping her heels clicking her toes

making me tense to watch the way she breed

Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence

Mouth all dry eyes blood shot
data stored on a microdot
Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes

T.V. dinner, T.V. news

The only way you know she's there

Is the subtle flavour in the air
