the drifter - the last emperor lyrics

if you in a quiet place, turn your lights down low
listen close to the voice on your radio show
now you openly, unknowingly chose
to be invaded by a mystery man you don’t know
i play the role
of the life rearranger
mysterious style and a smile that hides anger
women are attracted, despite the danger
and wanna play madonna to this beautiful stranger
it’s like that, comin’ right back at y’all again
into my trap, the fly honeys fall again
a love kindled, you get swindled by the
charlatan, who brings romance like a harlequin
authorities hunting me down for years
from every city i leave a trail of tears
if you scared, you should be afraid my dear
so stay away from the magician who never reappears, cause yo

oh, oh no, they got me on the run
away from the sun, the sun, the sun

i stroll into town like the high plains drifter
mental weightlifter, animal shapeshifter
old folks say “young man” kids say “hey mister”
bumped into misfortune, had a date with her
we sang love songs and hip hop tunes
that night by the light of the slivery moon
to pass the time i kicked rhymes, the sun came up soon
and gave rise to one of the warmest days in june
but ever since (ever since)
my heart was gunned down
i swore i’d never settle myself in one town
so i’m patiently waiting for the sun to go down
to take to the street like frankenstein unbound
and move to and fro, soft and slow
no matter how bad i wanna stay, i gots to go
i turn a still life portrait to a picture show
and when i leave they be cryin’ “oh i miss him so”
and i know

oh, oh no, they got me on the run
away from the sun, the sun, the sun

for him
love and hate are two things interwoven
the beast within, there is no controllin’
out on a limb, got your heart stolen
you stood there cryin’ and i kept on rollin’
alienated yourself from your family and friends
i skated and skipped town, with all of your ends
so when the love commenced, i broke down your defense
overpowered, devoured by the beast called revenge
yes, revenge, is all that i want
’cause some foul woman broke my heart once
until my wounds heal, i feel that i’m cursed
to do the same thing to women all over this earth
i know, some women can’t see what i’m after
some women even welcome this attacker
try to escape, but they even fell faster
under the spell of the lonely heart jacker

oh, oh no, they got me on the run
away from the sun, the sun, the sun
oh, oh no they got me on the run
away from the sun, the sun, the sun
oh…
