A glass eye I use to spy.
Little tiny teeth that tell a golden lie.
My feet are small, I'm not that tall.
I'll tell you the truth, but really not at all.
I'm small like a superball, throw me at the wall
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm mad as hell.
My teeth are gold, I'm not that old.
I would tell you the truth, but I'm not that bold.
Hook me with your hand, my mouth is full of sand.
Everything I say ends with and.
I'm small like a superball, throw me up at the wall
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm mad as hell.
He's my thing
Stay away from my thing
Why don't you get your own one around?
He's my thing
He's my thing
I kept for myself and not for you
He's my thing I kept for myself and nobody else
He's my thing
Stay away from my thing
Why don't you get your own one around?
He's my thing
Walks around in her boyfriends clothes
Nobody knows
She goes
She goes
Where she goes
He's my thing
Stay away from my thing
Why don't you get your own one around?
He's my thing
He's my thing
I keep on a hook
Keep on a hook
She goes
She goes where she goes
He's my thing
Stay away from my thing
Why don't you get your own one around?
Well he's my thing
Stay away from my thing
Why don't you get your own one around
My idiotic vapid pathological crush on you
Is masochistic massively unrealistic too
I think I had another nightmare mama (shoo bop shoo bop bop ooh)
I think I had another nightmare and you don't stop and you don't stop
I think I had another nightmare mama (womp bop a-womp bop boo)
I think I had another nightmare and you don't stop and you don't stop
Do you
I had another Gregor Samsa morning
As seems to happen most days these days
When you just shamble up without a word of warning
Just to make fun of my twitching, twitching insect legs
My beastly self-destructive
Absurd counter-productive fancy drives me straight to mother's ruin
It is a most unwise thing in fact it's pulverizing me you'll see I'll be a fine thing soon
Don't you have a pretty little mouth
That doesn't mean that you should use it
To give me your best Mickey Mouse
So don't think for a second I don't see right through it
You think everything's hilarious
You smell like diamonds down below
You're mackerel-skinned and so gregarious
But give me a goddamn break, fucker
Give me a goddamn break, fucker
Give me a goddamn break
I have a condition you know (shoo bop shoo bop...)
Here's to living long enough to be
forgiven for the bones I broke...
I had to make a living!
But we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy.
No, we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy.
Father puts his foot down on my games forever,
so in the marketplace I stay calm and clever.
And we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy.
Say What
You
Move very fast
I saw you screaming at the top floor
Big window crash
I'm deaf
So what'd you have to do that for?
Him?
On giving it up
You chew a little foil
You can't return
To us
To us
You chew a little foil
You can't return
To what
To what
To
What do giving it up
And chewing on foil
Have in common
Pack your bags
And out the back out
Hold back
The road that goes
So that
The others may do
What you let me in
Just to pour me down
Their mouths
Don't be afraid
Open your mouth and say
Say what your soul sings to you
Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly re-arrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
Only do harm to you
So make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you
And when you do
You'll find the one you love is you
You'll find you love you
Don't be ashamed
To open your heart and pray
Say what your soul sings
To you
So no longer pretend
That you can't feel it near
That tickle on your head
That tingle in your ear
Oh ask it anything
Because it loves you dear
It's your most precious king
If only you could hear
And when you do
You'll find the one you need is you
You'll find you love you
fanfarlo~harold t wilkins or how to wait for a very long time
You’ve been packing your bags for the tenth time
You’ve been up on the roof again
And you’re biding your time but it’s all right they’re coming any week now
Left behind by the mothership, they’re our only real friends
And inside, you’ll always feel the same, even when you wake up
Even if you wake up
In a town where everyone will kick and scream
And come to the same conclusion every time
Time to realise you were never on the team
There was always a question hanging over you
In a hot air balloon with a rusty nail
Looking over your shoulder and setting sail
Your dreams will become part of the future and coincide with the past
You spend all your time by the radio waiting for the signal
But inside, you’ll always feel the same, even when you wake up
Even if you wake up
In a town where everyone will kick and scream
And come to the same conclusion every time
Time to realise you were never on the team
There was always a question hanging over you
In a hot air balloon with a rusty nail
Looking over your shoulder and setting sail
They drive the same road drifting over to your side
They drive the same road turn the lights on again
They sail the same strait turn the lights on again
Bring your lips into my kiss tonight
My life depends on this here roll of dice
And when their gaze is straight
We're going to sneak behind
We'll catch the cold hard truth of being a crook
Thief, rat, no good rabble-rouser
I thought you said I never would, well I did
I did it right in front of your face
So next time just remember
Never say never
Never say never again
Hands in the air it's a robbery
You'll be lucky if you make it alive
If any of you heroes wanna speak up
I suggest you do it now or forever hold your peace
I'm a dangerous man
And if they ask you hold your tongue tonight
Don't tell them what I told ya
Don't tell them what I told ya
When their gaze is straight
We're going to sneak behind
They'll catch our cold hard drift of being a crook
Reach for the sky.
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals and issues
And things that I just don't understand
A white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it mean anything to you
So I open the door
It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love
So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
If you touch that girl
You know it's okay
People say she's a whore anyway
I think she looks like a nice vamp
Looking for love in a trashcan
If you kiss that girl you won't be caught dead
She's the coolest girl you think you ever met
I think she fits right into my life
On the road till the end of time
Now the time is right and you feel the need
To go down low and receive a treat
The jukebox churns out songs about sex
Come on baby you're my best fix
Why does blood turn brown when it dries
Why do the tears well up in your eyes
Why didn't I learn to ride my bike
When it was warm and sunny outside
Why can't little kids tie their shoes
Why can't the white people play the blues
Why can't I fall in love with you
It must be because of the seasons
When the leaves start falling from the trees
When the birds start flirting with the bees
When the wind starts blowing from the East to the West
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best
Clouds start forming I can't complain
'Cause I think we might be in need of some rain
When it starts pouring
Don't hide away without me
I bought an umbrella big enough for two
But it feels pretty empty under here without you
Dry as a bone but I'm still alone
I'm so gray
When you're standing in a puddle with wet feet
And your head is sore from pounding drops of sleet
When the cold and lonely hours put your heart to the test
Maybe I'll be the one that you like best
If the sky can open its eyes
And cry from up above
Let's shed some tears of joy
And fall in love
people I know, places I go, make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down, they're on the inside
here's where the story ends
people I see, weary of me showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends
it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes my eyes feel sore
oh I never should have said, the books that you read
were all I loved you for
it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes me wonder why
and it's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
surprise, surprise, surprise
crazy I know, places I go
make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
oh here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends
it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes my eyes feel sore
and who ever would've thought the books that you brought
were all I loved you for
oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
but the only thing I ever really wanted to say
was wrong, was wrong, was wrong
it's that little souvenir of a colourful year
which makes me smile inside
so I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends
Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another badday
Daddy don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
so this is how it feels to be lonely
this is how it feels to be small
this is how it feels when your word means nothing at all
There's a funeral in the town, some guy from the top estate
Seems they found him under a train, and yet he had it all on a plate
so this is how it feels to be lonely
this is how it feels to be small
this is how it feels when your word means nothing at all
Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
so this is how it feels to be lonely
this is how it feels to be small
this is how it feels when your word means nothing at all
The slowest melodies coated me
Soothing rythms stoked the fire in my belly
Music is the man that made a woman out of me
The purest voices call to me, deafening as the cry of 10,000 babies
Music was the lamb that made a lion out of me
Long as I have my voice, I don't need arms to hold
I never need arms to hold me.
Swallow me.
Recognizing, realizing
Recognize between the lines of what you feel and what you be
You can be so lost and so found
Oh, deep inside of me
Swallow me.
The composition fractured me
Yet, I pieced into the girl I long to be
When I fall apart that's when the notes will swallow me
Long as I have my voice, I don't need arms to hold
Long as you have your voice, you don't need arms to hold
You'll never need arms to hold you,
You'll never need arms to hold me.
Recognizing, realizing
Recognize between the lines of what you feel and what you be
You can be so lost and so found
Oh, Deep inside of me
Swallow me.
Recognize, realize, utilizing
Swallow me.
Utilize, recognize
Realize Iin you and me and these arms belong to you
It's all inside of you, it's all inside of me
You look but you don't see
It's deep inside of you, and deep inside of me
Yo, microphone check one two what is this
The five foot assassin with the ruffneck business
I float like gravity, never had a cavity
Got more rhymes than the Winans's got family
No need to sweat Arsenio to gain some type of fame
No shame in my game cause I'll always be the same
Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have
You wanna diss the Phifer but you still don't know the half
I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path
Messin round with this you catch the sizin of em?
I never half step cause I'm not a half stepper
Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper
Refuse to com-pete with BS competition
Your name ain't Special Ed so won't you Seckle With the Mission
I never walk the streets, think it's all about me
Even though deep in my heart, it really could be
I just try my best to like go all out
Some might even say yo shorty black you're buggin' out
Uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uh!
Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation
Minds get flooded, ejaculation
right on the two inch tape
The Abstract poet incognito, runsss the cape
Not the best not the worst and occasionally I curse to get my
point across, so bust, the floss
As I go in betweeen, the grit and the dirt
Listen to the mission listen Miss as I do work, umm
as I crack the, monotone
Children of the jazz so, get your own
Smokin R&B cause they try to do me
or the best of the pack but they can't do rap
For it's Abstract, orig-inal
You can't get your own and that's, pitiful
I know I'd be the man if I cold yanked the plug
on R&B, but I can't and that's bugged
Buggin out, buggin out, buggin out you're buggin out
Yo when you bug out, you usually have a reason for the action
Sometimes you don't it's just for mere satisfaction
People be houndin, always surroundin
Pulsin, just like a migraine poundin
You don't really fret, you stay in your sense
Come an fight your feeling, of absolute tense
You soar off to another world, deep in your mind
But people seem to take that, as being unkind
"Oh yo he's acting stank," really on a regal?
A man of the fame not a man of the people
Believe that if you wanna but I tell you this much
Riding on the train with no dough, sucks
Once again a case of your feet in my Nike's
If a crowd is in my realm I'm saying -- mic please
Hip-hop is living, can't yank the plug
if you do the result, will end up kind of bugged
Yo, I am not an invalid although I used to smoke the weed out
Ali Shaheed Muhammad used to say I had to be out
Schemin on the cookies with the crazy boomin back buns
Pushin on the real ?hardest? so we can have the big fun
When I left for Rosie I was Boulevard status
Battling a MC was when Tip was at his baddest
It was one MC after one MC
What the world could they be wanting see from little old me
Do I have the formula to save the world?
Or was it just because I used to swipe the women and all the girls
I'm the type of brother with the crazy extended hand kid
Dissed by all my brothers I was all up what my man did
Supposed to be my man but now I wonder cause you're feeble
I go out with the strongest and I seperate the evils
it's your brain against my mind, for those about to boot out
All you nasty critters even though you see I bug out
Buggin out, buggin out, buggin out you're buggin out
You fight the good fight
You fight the good war
You fight to be right
You fight to restore
Why should I believe a word that you say
It was just a game that you don't wanna' play
And I say
It's wearing me down, I realize
It's all in my head now, now, and I realize
It's not what you've done
As much as what you've said
You walk a good walk
You run a good race
You talk a good talk
'Cause you try to replace
Messages of loss and all that's sacred
Tell me you should learn to love my hatred
And I say
It's wearing me down, I realize
It's all in my head now, now, and I realize
It's not what you've done
It's what you said
It's wearing me down
It's wearing me down
Wearing me down
Wearing me down
Wearing me down
Wearing me down
And I say
It's tearing me down
It's all in my head now, now
It's not what you've done
It's what you said
It's what you said
What you said
It's what you said
