[00:19.05]I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
[00:21.40]now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
[00:24.00]her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
[00:26.26]whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
[00:28.95]i used to rap like i had some marbles in my mouth
[00:31.14]but the stones turned precious when they all came out
[00:33.39]on a string of deep thought that could never be bought
[00:35.79]body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop
[00:38.59]cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor,
[00:41.01]what was left a shoestring budget on call
[00:43.42]then these new styles came along
[00:45.07]some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
[00:48.23]colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
[00:50.68]make you feel old and jaded
[00:52.57]the point was to make it and we made it but
[00:54.93]we didn't know how to keep it
[00:57.26]like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
[00:58.69]only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
[01:00.65]store it underneath the bed and open it up
[01:02.85]once in a blue moon,
[01:04.19]think about a cool ending
[01:06.13]to a story that ended too soon
[01:07.67]gotta bring back the feeling
[01:09.55]I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
[01:12.28]a pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
[01:14.15]to an open heart, it's a daily operation
[01:16.99]after six come seven and eight
[01:19.39]access code to the pearly gates
[01:21.67]they say heaven can wait
[01:23.25]and you speak of fate
[01:24.61]a finale to a play for my mate
[01:26.99]I see the angels draw the drapes
[01:28.53]over the earthscape
[01:30.90]where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[01:32.29]gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[01:33.81]as our records will stay on rotate
[01:53.64]you say a circle is a flawless shape
[01:58.93]every part equi-distance from the center
[02:01.08]on the arc without a start or a finish
[02:02.95]a line on a loop carries weight
[02:04.56]a freight train runs unabated
[02:06.21]views vanish from my point vantage,
[02:08.02]passages come in and out
[02:09.46]the way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
[02:11.78]still alive 'cause I said it
[02:13.17]a life of its own unless we dead it
[02:15.09]till they see our name in credits
[02:16.82]a labor of love you mean slavery
[02:18.90]surely, it's been quite savory
[02:21.27]crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
[02:23.90]pure magic when she touches me
[02:25.86]I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
[02:29.20]you profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
[02:31.45]happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
[02:33.76]just pass it on like asong
[02:35.29]and I might look calm and collected at a glance
[02:38.59]but I taste the void when I'm not connected
[02:41.15]to the world kinetic, as opposed to static
[02:43.49]idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
[02:45.87]on a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
[02:49.29]the mind in need of stimulation
[02:51.22]elevator music to the space station
[02:51.27]penthouse of stars a-blazing
[02:55.58]after six come seven and eight
[02:57.83]access code to the pearly gates
[02:59.90]they say heaven can wait
[03:01.70]and you speak of fate
[03:02.82]a finale to a play for my mate
[03:05.34]I see the angels draw the drapes
[03:08.12]over the earthscape
[03:09.27]where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[03:10.59]gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape
[03:12.71]as our records will stay on rotate
