lyrics

The chord strikes like white light into your eye sight
And leave you tripping like you fell into some tie-dye
A crap line but life's clear in hindsight
Rewind time like films around sci-fi
At least I wish to
But it’s clear to see that I’m a long way away from Vishnu
To help revive myself I make a stew of beans made from the very finest Senzu
Time for zen moves
I don’t claim to have the strength of ten men or ten dudes
But one day I hope to have one-tenth of mensch from greats like Mister S Tendulkar
And I do hope to go far
Into the dark like Luke’s father in his trademark mask of Darth Vader
Stimulate fan hearts like pacemakers that'll help spark a start from their age of glacial foundations
But to face it: back to basics
Work hard day-to-day to taste the fruits and add more to your own databases
Oh yah
Not the sharpest dart but
Like a bow, I work under tension
Steady the shaft then give way to your senses
Breathe slow, then hone attention then
Let it go, like Elsa sings in
Frozen, go hard, then go doze tomorrow
A future cross between Jean-Luc Picard and the super great mister K dot Lamar
My future job is to drop stupid bars to leave heads spinning like lamps on top of cars
Of the police
Of the police
Of the police
Of the cops
And be in charge like being inside auroras
And enjoy the smells of earth’s wonderful flora
And find new meanings like words in a thesaurus
And be kinder and way less hydrochloric

I’m a synoptic chart — few people understand me
Is oxygen toxic ‘cause each breath is damning?
Or maybe that’s stupid, but it hides the smooches
Of the reaper's incredible loose lips
And a big damn you to lupus
and TTP, damn all disease!
And is oxygen really just shit from the trees?
Or maybe they’re always just taking a leak?
Are you having fun just shooting the breeze?
I know I am
Like lying on a beach
On Thailand, with soft sand on your feet
I’m a man but I tend to feel like a beast
To rise, you need dough and a small pinch of yeast
Go throw your V's up like flying with geese
Now to go switch up the speed
This independent citizen is silly like a pelican
And Aussie as a billy can, but still under dominion
of residents with molecules of melanin that’s missing
on their lighter skin and not aware of our bonafide sentiments
And like the Mos Definite was born after December 10
And spraying from the gut like Monica Seles in Wimbledon
Slow it down like a dosage of sedative medicine
Slow it down like sedative medicine
