[Aesop Rock]

January, I Fell To The Cobblestone

In April, I Cut Little Paper Flowers

In August, I Drank Cold Tea All My Lonesome

In October, I Was Introduced To Scourers

I Love New York Saturdays

But Mondays Last Longer

And Since I Plan To Live A Long Life

Maybe I'll Serve A Thousand Mondays And Swallow The Burn

To Merge The Week For All Its Got

To Get My Shoddy Rotten Ribs Stick, Forgot My Ribs

I Got A Lil' Something Called A Spirit Crisis On My Skull

And It's Nothing Short Of Ferocious But I Swallowed The Dosage

I Got A Mantle, And The Mantle Is A Candle

And My Candle Is A Flame That Burns To Symbolize The Day Gretel Met Hansel

Then I Settle In A Stand Still

I Live Forever Reaching For The Sun

Hoping Some Lucky Day I'll Clutch And Get A Hand Full

Rope Ladder, I'm A Swinging Anvil

And I Wanna Turn Scullies And Summings With Pretty Lullabye, Bye

The Way My Gypsy Dances Makes A Monster Retreat To Fetal

I Never Felt So Damn Young

But You Don't Look A Day Over Zero

And You Don't Look A Day In The Times Cuz It'll Make You Realize

The Night Is Near So

Well Then Go, Dream, I Clean Around The Edges

I Tidy Up The Tabletop, And Lectured All The Pledges

I Never Really Knew The True Definition Of Precious

Till My Angel Wit The Beautiful Red Locks Gave Me The Message

I'm A Fully Animated Life Tree

See The Root Of The Mute Button Was Dug Up Bug Up On A Song

Of I'm A Fully Animated Life Tree

With Branches For The Heavens To Admire Actually



Chorus [Woman Speaking]

Fame, War, Love, Honor, Crime, Innocence, Tragedy, Sunshine

Cringe, Death, Passion, Heroism, God, Suffering, Joy, Fate

Destiny, Treasure, Stars, Gall, Hunger, Murder, Silence, Mayhem

[Aesop Rock]

We All Know What A Halo Is

But We All Don't Know The Horrors If Your Halo Tips

I Be The Matador Making Your Pretty Little Heels Click

I Be The Sword In The Stone Of The Contemporary Eclipse
