[Aesop Rock] [acapella]
Jiggy-jabberjaw vitamin idol and primal rages
When bible page verse tidal waves has begun (Water one)

I wrote the book that shook America to splinters
In a winter wasteland
Icicle-bound barren township

Call barren moon childs and proud gimps to clinch this chemical war pig
Delinquent sinkin like a paper tugboat
Well beneath your holiday

Beached on a red tide infested shore corroding eastern seaboard beauty
I'm a jigsaw slab, but all the pig saw was dirt bag


It's like a bleeding comet bombing on your sequels
To the riverside park tunnel people claim last lifeform standing
Carbon based pardons ain't enough

My stilts truly personify the serbonite flea circus
We urchins merkin on daily
I catapult brain opera past basic

Tear my own face off in the finale, stick around it's ill
Diabolic Prodigal Son spill grimmace
If you had one more eye, you'd be a Cyclops

Which explains missing the premise
Bliss mimic, baptise, chastise, laugh die
Kiss the finish, piss the villagers the $#&@ off

Pete Piper picked peppers, and Run rocked rhymes
Aes Rock might've smoked one too many dimes in his time
Now where you gonna be when the sun falls, brother

Probably gathering your sheep with all these other motha$#&@ers
Struck twice in the same place by a moody Zues fishliner
Smackin the third clear out the park

Going gone (To infinity and beyond!)
I rocked for a flock of Chewbacca look-alikes in magic makers
Hermit crabs and New York city sewer aligators

Keep your homily dream out your homily
I deal with tangible goods
And avoid manufacturing food for landfills

I've seen friends bow to needles
I've seen needles bow to records
I've seen boughs break

I've seen God bow and make the clouds shake
I've seen the proud break
I've seen alot for a blind soldier

Who tattooed the city scape up skin to blend in
Rats travel by night invite the waterbugs
I'm here to pull the three-prong

When it's prime directive wormhole of self-sacrifice
Had a hatchet slice for camps
For that God-awful Frankenstein

Starving your style to someday be a story in my ?
Life's hard, life's easy
Life's everyting in between

Life's Peachy like James and the Giant
And I keep spittin as long as these kittens buy it
And I keep casting my line as long as these officials bite it

And I like it (Don't try it like that)

[Movie sample]

"Yes the bough is low
That's the way it goes though....
Maybe I should just give up or stop trying

But life is so uncertain, so short
I've got to keep on searching
And wherever it takes me, I've got to go"


[Aesop Rock]
Ban away temper tantrum, decrept anthem

Set a low go, I arrived late
I'm here to scrape a car clean to the funk machine
Imposes on the underling amalgam cluster and identifies the mother

(You got heart)
I hate to tell you but it skips more than it palpitates
Like these here drunken little archers missed one of they calculate

The falcon hates the mockingbird
The farmer hates the drought
I hate em all, I kick the bottom brick out shouting "Yes y'all"

And blow the village out perspective (Aesop!)
Do you take this makeshift-Candy Land-cold classic-!@$( style
To be your lawfully wedded head trip
Doing base throughout sickness, health, electrical storm
Fire, pain, rain, hail, wind, ice, sleet, snow? (Hell no!)

I'm balanced, personified phantom to the bone
Walkin like a Jabberwocky
Scalpin a pair of one-way tickets to shadowboxing
Christmas with a shallow stocking
Like this (I'm just trying to milk the mileage)

You drop science like Don Herbert with liquor in him
Soundin off like senior citizens sitting at bingo parlor bickering
Yeah it's kinda funny, isn't it
How I can build while you just sit there and (*##$ about your syllabus


[Chorus] [4x]
Dwarfed by the lights, bewildered by the fanbase
Bound by an idea, skeptical of the handshakes

Skeptical of the handshakes [repeat to fade]
