A Race To Death

Copyright 204 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Poetic Lyrics By Thomas Lam Hsi THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD...THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY...WHO ALONE CAN SAVE FROM Satan...who plays 'all' roles...the devil...the 'Lord Jesus'... the 'Father'...the 'Holy Spirit'...all 'Other Gods'...and 'alien gods'...HE...THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF IS FULLY GOD AND MAN...AND HE ALONE... IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD THE FATHER...and to an Actual Heaven! IF LIFE were only played out on a RACE TRACK, WHICH CAR would you choose…BUGATTI, FERRA)RI…or an…easy DEATH, CAN IT be so simple…THAT YOU never KNEW ME to be ANY…THING, FOOL…YOUR TIMES UP…AND I’M coming UP…I’M COMING UP! YOUR HEAD’S full of PROBLEMS…while I was…PLAYING MY OWN GAME, You NEVER knew it…NEVER KNEW IT…while I was PLAYING MY OWN GAME, And I’M coming UP…I’M COMING UP, FOOLS that you were…I’M coming UP…I’M COMING UP! CHORUS: DIAMONDS, jewels, and FURS…WERE ALL YOU KNEW, TIN CANS and sodas…were all I ever knew, And I’M coming UP…I’M COMING UP, In a FLASH of red, yellow, blue, and green, And a checkered yellow flag…TO MY OWN NAME…TO MY VERY OWN NAME! And IF…in my FINAL race…it ENDS in a TORTURED FLAME, I was beautiful…AT LAST…AT LEAST…in my very OWN NAME...AT LEAST in name! FLASHING round the track…JERKING all the same, YOU…were coming up…YOU WERE COMING UP, HUMPING YOUR OWN ASS…was the blue Bugatti…that I ALONE DROVE, And I TORE on the PETRO [GAS]…I TORE ON THE PETRO [GAS], In TIME…the checkered yellow flag…was ONLY MINE…ONLY MINE, Bubbles, BAUBLES, and furs…were ONLY MINE…they were ONLY MINE, And the scarred horror of my FINAL CRASH…and the press that BURNED MY VERY OWN BONES, To them I was beautiful, and I WAS…and I WAS…BEAUTIFUL at last, BEAUTIFUL at last!
