lyrics

We Legion Be

Well, if we take the valley
what will you leave for me?

Why, whatever your young heart needs
be it women, wine, or weeds

And if I call you “captain”
what is it that you’ll call me?

You’ll be my busy little worker bee
gone to fetch some honey for me
and you will know me as “your majesty”

But what if all that sinning stuff ain’t enough?

Why then I’ll pluck you up like a diamond from the rough

And slice me up into little slivers of luck...

To place you on the heavy breasts of the woman I like best this month

Well, I don’t know you, mister
but it seems like you know me

I have known you since your infancy
you were a pretty little baby bee

Well, did you know my father?

He never spoke of thee

Your father the refinery
it was I who supplied the seed
and you owe your very life to me

But what if I say I don’t give a fuck?

Why, then I’ll light a cigarette and cast a higher bet on your bluff

O, you think your mean but you ain’t seen me get tough

The difference it would seem is that you’ve got something you love

You keep your hands off of my sweetheart
my sweetheart dreams with me

Then in dream she will watch you bleed
into the mouths of your enemies

And she will know what darkness I bring
and she will know that we legion be
and she will know that we legion be
and she will know that we legion be
