Ayy

I could give a fuck if there′s mold on my daily bread

I'm a foe to the fainting goat, I′m at home on the razor's edgeOver the garden wall when your Rover was playing dead

Arm-in-arm with a melancholia, roses and baby's breath

Slow to reveal a signal from deep in the tub of tiger balm

Lighter lit, giant slalom circumvent the psychopomp

Womp, womp, circle to the watering hole

Something secluded where the spoon stand up in the joe

Pursue a puff of smoke who never hum or trumpet his post

From unassuming to the poltergeist of multiple homes

Ultimate weapon, slow the pulse to a crawl

"Sir, we had thought he was toast"

That′s when the elbow drop from off of the ropes

Family approach him like he sat up in his coffin and spoke

We only talk in awkward hello after awkward hello

Most of my visitors request that I be tied to a chair

I wear the skin of my detractors, maybe try not to stare

Yeah

Every time I look up from the paper

I see animals exhibiting irregular behavior

Even though I know that it′s a warning

I am back on my old shit again like any other morning

Every time I peek out from the corner

Birds are flying belly-side-up, fish are walking out the water

Even though it seem legit

I'm right here ′til the season dip

I ain't seen shit

I ain′t seen shit

My gang sign's never the same twice

Since offering his service had him nursing a snakebite

We dabble in certainty, I′m allergic to grape vines

You certainly unearthing my aversion to make nice

I'm basically bored stiff

Your sortie go from orbiting warships

To cowering in corners, "Mother, make us some warm milk"

From 'bout it to the mayor of Snoresville in a jiffy

The final form′s a portrait of a squirrel stuck in a chimney

I buy a second seat for my extraordinary piss and moan

Feet up while the fleet assemble, keep the devil in the hole

With several yelling, "Sparta,

"You were yelling, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha"

Only one′ll read the chapter after larva, it's a good one

I′m haunted by Atlantic water bade adieu

Balancing a billion rocks to levitate adjacent to

Escapist at the undisclosed, aloof and newly mummified

You're upsetting the customers, you should see the other guy

Wait

Every time I look up from the paper

I see animals exhibiting irregular behavior

Even though I know that it′s a warning

I am back on my old shit again like any other morning

Every time I peek out from the corner

Birds are flying belly-side-up, fish are walking out the water

Even though it seem legit

I'm right here ′til the season dip

I ain't seen shit

I ain't seen shit

How many vermin get to scurry up the piggy back

And burrow in before it lose the personhood to sticky trap?

Clown car of clingers, I shiver off with the water dogs

Invoking tippy toes along the wall and diving somersaults

That sneak him out the supper club, and muddy up the coveralls

I leave y′all to the scuttlebutt

We get our water from the source directly

Zoltar, predisposed to go dark

Ghost ride, all roll-bar, no lodestar, ayy

Comeuppance like a fire licking at your shoes

When all you want is happy feet in hammocks under azure blue

Have you any marrow past the ballyhoo or no, sir?

No, it′s mostly snotty noses pressed to empty zoo enclosures going

"This is stupid, I'm tired, I want a pretzel"

The guppies are getting grumpy, there′s nothing like nothing special

I know you were expecting just a Jekyll

The others are in there also, his company doesn't end well

Yo
