two heads - grace slick...

You want two heads on your body
And you've got two mirrors in your hand.
Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick
and your nose is too small for this land.
Inside your head is your town
inside your room your jail
inside your mouth the elephants trunk and booze,
the only key to your bail

Want two heads on your body
and you've got two mirrors in your hand

Two heads can be put together.
And you can fill both your feet with sand.
Noone will know you've gutted your mind
but what will you do with your bloody hands?
Your lions are fighting with chairs,
your arms are incredibly fat;
Your women are tired of dying alive
if you've had any women at that.

Wearing your comb like an ax in your head
List'ning for signs of life;
Children are sucking on stone and lead
And chasing their hoops with a knife;
New breasts and jewels for the girl,
Keep them polished and shining;
Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life...
For no child of mine.

2. All my shirts (and prophylactics) are meant to go around one head, sorry.

The song, as originally recorded, has a great sound to it... but those lyrics are just whacked, man. :smoke:

3. Here's a kick from from the Greasy Heart(land)

Slick was SO far ahead of her time! BTW, she was singing "Somebody To Love" for me alone.

8. Some things I didn't know about her.

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/STYLE/arts/11/28/grace.slick.ap/

Rocker Grace Slick trades microphone for paintbrush

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- She once performed topless in the
rain so she wouldn't ruin her silk blouse, and she threatened to spike President Nixon's tea with LSD.

But that was a lifetime ago for Grace Slick, the steely psychedelic
rocker who added enough salt to her words to wither a seasoned sailor.

These days, she has tamed that wild child.
And she's turned to painting to get her creative urges out.

While Slick says she finds inspiration everywhere -- in animals, in her
friends and in her emotions -- her best-selling works are her portraits
of the rock stars she knew in the 1960s. Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. Jerry Garcia.
