DARVO-A-GOGO
Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender. Set to punk. Now stomp.
Lyrics
(The harder, sharper, stompier, uprising PUNK version) [Verse 1 : DENY] They smirk “never happened,” with a sly grin, Mock truth like a joke in a mean shit bin. We see the cracks, a cock that spins, And DENY, like freak circus fiends [Verse 2 : ATTACK] Oh snap! They spit fire to fog the script, Throw crappy daggers with a jester’s quip. We dodge the sting, as they sling the whip, And ATTACK like bling ain’t shit so cheap…. [Chorus : A-GO-GO RIOT] DARVO-A-GOGO, stomp the floor, Kick ‘em tricksters out the door… When lies parade in a mask of woe, We chant the pattern, the song we know. [Verse 3 : REVERSE] They gasp “we’re the victim!”, a selfish plea, A trauma opera in major key. We feel the flip, predictable spree, REVERSED wisdom’s gaslighting glee. [Verse 4 : (fake) VICTIM] They wilt on cue with a righteous moan, A VICTIM’s sigh, rehearsed alone... We catch the act by its undertone, Drama dripping down skin and bone. [Bridge : OFFENDER (projected)] Now we get labeled the villain’s spark, While they paint halos in their shit-lit dark. But we break rank, they miss the mark, laugh at their carnival, silence the snark! [Chorus : final blast] DARVO-A-GOGO, let it blow, bananasutra lights the glow. Once the trick is named, you know: They lose the spin, we run the show. -- V2: (Moonwaltz Dub Edition, more dreamy, hypnotic, lilting 3/4 PSYCHIC GYPSY DUB WALTZ) [Verse 1 : DENY] They whisper “not real,” with a soft fake smile, A ribbon of fog hiding their bile. We trace the curve, follow the guile, Truth folds tight, vanishes in style. [Verse 2 : ATTACK] Then comes the sting, a venom dart, A hush-hush jab dressed up as art. We smell the rot in their dead-beat heart, A quiet fist, a stinky fart… [Chorus : WALTZ-A-GOGO] DARVO-A-GOGO, learn and know, Round and round, dick gonna blow, Name the pattern, mock their show, Bully jocks dunno how to glow [Verse 3 : REVERSE] They sigh “We’re wounded,” a guilty plea, A trembling leaf on a winter tree. We see the shift in the melody, A mirror turned in minor key. [Verse 4 : (fake) VICTIM] Their tears fall light, but never sink, Predators blame without a blink, We sense the gap, we pause, we think, Truth hums and slaps back with a wink… [Bridge : OFFENDER (projected)] Then roles swap places with dark disguise, Offensive shadows and borrowed cries. But dub waves rise, we harmonize, Step off the spin, let clarity rise… [Chorus : WALTZING OUT] DARVO-A-GOGO’s a mean show, bananasutra’s humming slow…. Once we see the undertow, We dance with truth, we choose to flow. [Outro : slow fade me baby] We sway out calm with the night in bloom, We sway in dismay of their blight of doom, DAVO, DARVO dissolves in the drifting room. Patterns fade when we name their loom, And we return... with deeper room.
