with a good deal of prayer and consideration we extracted just a dollop of Sly Stone's purity to make our mash
we consider ourselves forever in his debt

lyrics

mmmm
they killed their king
they killed their king
laid him out in the sunshine
and everything shone around him like he was new
they killed their king
they killed their king
i don't have to find out
cause everybody is telling me what i'm gonna do
though i'm afraid
and i get so tired

can't shake the shake, no
can't shake the shake, no
no matter where i go
can't shake the shake, no
they killed their king
they killed their king
my only weapon is my
my only weapon is my
my only weapon is my sword in my left hand
though i'm afraid
and i get so tired

dun dun dun
they killed their king
they killed their king
they killed their king
they killed their king
though i'm afraid
and i get so tired
something will change
and i'll be happy

about

Ghost Pal is a paranoid, paranormal psychedelic spook soul band from Brooklyn, NY. Having expanded and contracted for the ... more better part of a year as a psychedelic and occasionally psychotic collective, Ghost Pal hardened into a 7 member line up in late 2011. Look out for our EP "Extended Family," dropping on May 15, and our LP "Nathan Jones is Dead," coming in the summer. less
