Aaliyah: "I just touched down Quarter after two I know it's late I'm calling you Tryin' to figure if I can come see you Can I come see you?" wound eraser moving faders; when I compose, I'm doing favors for the youth to take the fruit and taste the gold infused and wait for the mood-deranger / lucid gamer, using paper to turn this room into a booty-shaking show - I knew it'd make you dance; don't think, that should be no-brainer wrap the kush and drag it once, then magically we float save your soul, and feel good for the way that it can't be seen but, it's so crazy; it makes your whole zone flavored with the vapor they say this is your savior and I think that if you take her, embrace her, the vibration in this club is in for a dangerous spin reminiscent of MDMA with a mix of lysergic hippie-flip, get twisted 'til your eyes hurt and fly for the sky, kiss the lips of anybody searching for the right time to confide in somebody body-surfing call it strange love, but it's like we just found some kind of purpose intertwined with our minds conversing telepathic touch. everlasting love. we fell and can't get up any higher, but they don't get it yet dripping sweat from what we just discovered we'll tell them by keeping it undercover (x2) pack a bowl. abracadabra / intergalactic tone Beastie Boy from back in the alley, kicking the baddest flows had them going "damn" when they sat and listened, but that's some old shit now they're dancing and happy with hits of acid close feeling fantastic when the nights over every show's a blind-folder; better close your eyes, glowing lights high-roller; gamble and let the chips rise this is for the skin-tight skinny-jean wearing chicks tryna' see God in a genre of musical healing delivering your body an unusual feeling feel it; then radiate it to the neighbor next to you make this festival a wave of sensual and sexual energy; a melting-pot of sensitive and elemental medicine pharmaceuticals can't do what this will do call it strange love, but it's like we just found some kind of purpose Virgin Mary's beloved light is working (Hook)

(intro) no more radio, no more television, no internet no more thinking, no more of anything getting in your head everybody is so afraid of it til you're giving in take it all away and just tell me how it does feel to let go of you and me, truthfully we lose it all beautifully if I was you, and you were me this is who we'd be, this is who we'd be I cannot explain it, but hey, I don't really need to don't fight it, I promise you can go, kill your sweet tooth for the old news, what you knew before this union; I'll prove that it's just a room for improvement for you and me, truthfully we lose it all beautifully if I was you, and you were me this is who we'd be, this is who we'd be I seen Love at first sight at the fork in the road I went right, and god damn, I'm so (high) no more radio, no more television, no internet no more thinking, no more of anything getting in your head everybody is so afraid of it til you're giving in take it all away and just tell me how it does feel to let go you and me, truthfully we lose it all beautifully if I was you, and you were me this is who we'd be, this is who we'd be no one can save us; over the ledge and we're going away once the motionless ocean's up to the neck and there's no escape acceptance; then we get the key to step in the door free to live on, better than never before; no more you and me, truthfully we lose it all beautifully if I was you, and you were me this is who we'd be, this is who we'd be (Hook) lose control, we lose control I hopped on that path and I'm cruising, yo crash-dummy, they act funny when you're whipping it like this and living is priceless 'cause this is what life is no seatbelts when the street's all clear things are all good and nothing seems wrong here awesome; we're off that and on this still trill; let it ride and go in for the kill we're getting so...

(intro) pardon my ego while I dance with the devil and party with evil it's cinematic, so bring all of your people starting a freaking riot so far from just peaceful screams echo off the wall like a damn gothic cathedral getting it in like it's the Rennaisance era and Julius Caesar's home; pallbearers bring a ring and a tall chair to sit on crown made of thorns and a glass of water; man, I'll tell ya', it's about to be all terror Hell's about to break loose when the rhythm begins windows tinted, marble floor stained with whiskey, my friends and city-dwellers, ladies and gentleman rebellious men and women; are we sinners or existentialists? everybody's living like tomorrow's promised but, we call the shots and we'll repeat this 'til it's all forgotten going hard for life and death won't even stop it; hot-shit in the coffin moshing with these crosses across the front of our garments I guess Heaven's looking heavily distorted But, when life is what you make it, who's the artist? Freak shit, lights dim; yeah, you know that we get busy when the modern-folk live like Kings and Queens, bitch (x2) snatch your crown when I'm acting out; smashing glass, no Greek wedding yo, please step in so I can keep sending ya'll back to black, Amy said it; rest in peace while I lend 'em armageddon they never thought I'd get this pissed; expect the unexpected make a mess of all your fetishes - God-complex don't walk in my fellowship unless you're rough, raw and reckless and I don't want respect; I want a check for 3 mill for being the most underrated genius to ever speak still get 'em bouncing like bass on the speakers, heavy-sounding shit excuse me while I glorify how fresh my outfit is; all of ya'll are counterfeit , and I'm done hiding it this time I'm putting the bar so high that nobody can climb to it romantic mannerism anarchism brought satanic panic back again the way my fucking plan is kicking in materialism with a twist for the night put a fist to the sky. sleep don't exist 'til the end of it and if we should die, Heaven will be heavily distorted But, when life is what you make it, who's the artist? Freak shit, lights dim; yeah, you know that we get busy when the modern-folk live like Kings and Queens, bitch (x2) (outro)

"reminisce Hendrix here..." Feel reality here Kills the bad in me If I have to leave this experimental / sentimental scene before the beauty settles right in my skin, I'll kiss the lips of it We float like ghosts, a party full of souls always goes unknown. But, God, we keep on grooving, we keep on grooving Angels with their septums pierced tattoo'd from neck to ear. It's such a psychedelic feel reminisce Hendrix here... Inside, I breathe The numb, the calm Mending me together, but I'm crushed, dissolved Trance. Two-step of my fears as they dance. Hold my hand and can we skip away, where the flowers made of pain leave us stained? Hold my hand and can we skip away, where the flowers made of pain leave us Perfectly Insane. "reminisce Hendrix here..." Let's marinate in this acid Wear these faces like plastic Celebrate within tragedy and find fashion. In a place where, if you dare, if you care, the mist within the air is stuck in your lungs What you touch is not there Fantasy's reality. These monsters form into family Drink cups of dreams and soothe stomachs So lucid, so clueless; we don't want one Our veins and blood pause and circulate the sub-conscious It's blood. A drug, never untouched. Astronauts covered in blood with smiles in a World so lush, lush (Hook) (Bridge to Outro)

what's a King to a God but a fraud with hate in his heart? no peace; you are lost in a world full of crowns and swords battling, making up sounds of war psychological product of forfeiting your conscience science got 'em for a bit of profit diabolic shock to the thing that we call a brain this is fate; much more than we can stop to think in a limited space, so I dig in the crates and bring it to them to relate to and give it away straight sending currents in a pattern surges in your skull, converted into matter imperfect went perfect when I turned into a shadow lurking through a shattered land, perching on a ladder climb up to the socket and plug yourself in they told me sink or swim and then I fell in and I can barely crawl come and chill where the air is off weed-smoke in our lungs, no care at all my generation's a problem that can't be solved yeah, it can't be solved, we're tryna' let man evolve that fire, they fan it off it ain't stopping, ramble on.. what's a King to a God but a fraud with hate in his heart? no peace; you are lost in a world full of crowns and swords symphonies made up of sounds of war mouth so sore - they talk and don't listen It's wrong, I know when the white chalk is marked, they won't flip it; the prideful can't stop so, they try to slide through when nobody's paying attention, though my centerfold is unimaginable radical plan to come and shut the fucking carrier closed what's a demon to a devil but an angel that saves you by telling you to save yourself? my angle ain't the same; I'm a danger mentally unstable' medicine to stay cool? nah, I do it to prove we're through with the bull, so cool when we move (Hook) x2 (Bridge) we're gonna' live this time yeah, this time again; so long, so long, so long we always survive, and I'm not even trying, no lying, nobody's buying it nuh uh, nobody's buying it I ain't lyin'...
