The Neon Lotus 2nd Version

[HOOK - with homie ad-libs] Yeah, yeah at the Neon Lotus (lotus!) I saw the sign flicker, had to pull over (skrrt, pull over!) She said "welcome back, Buddah" (Buddah!) Hot towels, cold eyes, red rum aroma (that felt good baby!) [VERSE 1] '88 Chevy, still smellin' like funeral smoke, Gold tooth gleam, reincarnated, I ain't never been broke, Sign said "Neon Lotus - Grand Opening" in blood red neon, Mama-san at the window like "Buddah, where you been?" I'm Here, I'm back, white tee, Dickies sagged low, Reebok Pumps squeakin' on the tile floor, She said "you want table? you want chair? you want soul gone?" I said "all three, mama, plus that Tongue Donor" Big Buddah pimpin', but I got manners, you know, Tip heavy, talk low, let the incense smoke blow, Bamboo curtain, little bell ring DING! Pretty lil' zombie lookin' like she 'bout to sing - (wash my ass!) [HOOK] Yeah, yeah at the Neon Lotus (lotus!) Left hand on my rosary, right hand on the roller (woo!) She said "you tense, PAPI" (so tense!) I said "baby I'm dead, I been tense since May!" (since '82!) [VERSE 2 - nastier flow] Picked a thick one, name was Yuki with the yakuza tat, Dragon up her spine, said it bite if you touch her back, I said "girl you know who I am? Mr. ToungZilla?" She giggled, said "we know, we been waitin' you" Essential oils and embalming fluid mixed, She crackin' my back like she crackin' a safe combination, My homies on the phone like "Buddah you good?" Nah, I'm great, I'm back from the dead gettin' a deep tissue vacation! Black and white rag, hang out the back pocket, She got that hurting knot out, pop lock it, Mama-san laughin' "you boys never learn!" I said "learn what? I'm already dead, what can i lurn?" Big Buddah at the neon lotus - lights out, Big Buddah at the neon lotus - towel drop, Big Buddah at the neon lotus - eyes roll back, (I want my table!)
