They think because
I don't bother nobody
and I'm all
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
and life coaching
about how to maintain
peace of mind...
that I won't
hop out this gentle buggy ride
I'm lettin' them experience
and before they can blink
rudely awaken them
to unevolved me:
Miss Chariot of Fire
She is never more
than a coupla your fuck-ups
away from slittin' your ego
The only reason
you might have time for two
is cuz she's busy
tryna control herself
and make sure she don't
go to jail
or an early grave
behind her reaction
to the first one
Don't git it twisted
Sweet Buggy Ride
has firmly planted roots now
works hard on her disposition
painfully aware of the trouble
she has attracted with it
in the past
knows how to talk
Firestarter off the ledge
keep her flare match-sized
quicker to fizzle
If she lets it
But while her foundation
in the soil
may be strong
at her core
she's still
a hurriquake
so if you wanna
shake things up
fuck around and find out
what happens when
the Buggy Ride stops
then rest assured
she has enough matches
to light a hefty blaze
to the Chariot
and see to it
that you go up in flames
