Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sitting in my day care, the art is deco painted
Blessed by the drink, upon the corners where we've seen it
Chased by the plane it
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
[Verse 2]
Glow from my T.V. set was blue like neon
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I've seen this city somewhere
I'm looking out for no one
Pallor in my eyes it get blue like neon
[Verse 3]
Hell is 'round the corner where I shelter
Isms and schisms, we're living helter skelter
If you believe I deceive then common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
[Verse 4]
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till I take further evidence
I seem to need a reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say I'm a good neighbor
I trudge so judge me for my labor
[Verse 5]
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if I was some kind of a
A total stranger
[Verse 6]
Hysterical, ecstatical no matter, call me stags
Have to get a drink, I will go to relax
Upon phono, no go zone I go through
Aching awaits just to relocate you
[Verse 7]
Kill us with your fist, now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when I get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes, so goodbye
[Verse 8]
Take a second of me
You beckon, I'll be
And when you're sad I'll mourn
And when you tear I'm torn
[Verse 9]
Take a second of me
Take a second of me
[Verse 10]
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
So reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in Stussy
Show me and I'll stick 'em
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me
[Verse 11]
Mad over you, mad over me, analogy
Baby taking up, up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, mediocre painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
[Verse 12]
Window when they go when they go boom
I run inside my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa
Roll in a daydream
Spliff make Daddy go sleep-a-trip dream
