Cinnamon

click for lyrics

A song about magic. This one was written in a little under 20 minutes and I hadn’t given it a second thought until Jem asked if he could ‘add a little production’ into the mix. Suddenly it became an entirely different beast all together and it rocked like a motherfekker. I love the manic drum orgasm ending too.

Well, this is the one where the O.T.O and the A.'. A.'. come after me and bundle me into the back of a black van for giving away all their secrets. Yes folks, this song teaches you the secret of magic! The only problem is that you probably have to be a magician already to know what it's on about. Sorry about that. It's still a jolly good song though. "Cinnamon" is the world's most oblique reference; to the spice in Frank Herbert's Dune that enabled their spaceship pilots to bend time and space.

grip the money tightly
make a helpless wish
don't tell anybody
what you think it is
now you're in the centre
all you do is twist
all you've ever wanted
ready - not ready

use the thought, forget the thought
turn it inside out
listen to, and then ignore your doubt
senses stripped away from the skin
one by one they go
cinnamon the only thing you know

Anything can help me
Anything I please
Anything can help me
Anything I please

Wisdom in a minute
Money in a year
Love in fiery circles
whispers in your ear
all you've ever wanted
all you see is here
forever and ever

use the thought, forget the thought
turn it inside out
listen to, and then ignore your doubt
senses stripped away from the skin
one by one they go
cinnamon the only thing you know

Anything can help me
Anything I please
Anything can help me
Anything I please
Anything can help me
Anything I please
Anything can help me
Anything I please

use the thought, forget the thought
turn it inside out
listen to, and then ignore your doubt
senses stripped away from the skin
one by one they go
cinnamon the only thing you know
