lyrics

It's the head scratching, nose pickin' red dragon flows kickin' ass
I twist the facts until belief systems crack, switch it back
and leave the physics lab like nothing happened
that cocky dude walking through the rubble laughing
cuz I been burned enough to learn to trust my gut reactions
...so if my brain is just connections and arrangements of electric
interfaces and reflections with entanglements and resonance
and changes in the messages updated every second with
the latest in intelligence, then basically your measurements ain't shit....
....shazam, I just made your claims irrelevant
I'm the walking, talking illustrated guide to killing space and time
and how to train your mind to recognize the danger signs
so watch and listen, I'm broadcast live in vodka vision
and change my job description 'till I got no competition, dig it
I'm talking simple shit: just eating a sandwich
falling asleep in a hammock and not even needing pajamas
that's the discipline, thinking faster than the average citizen
I got a guilty conscience but I mastered acting innocent
I vomit comic books, bloody noses, blowing ritalin
with people on the street and screaming at Jehovah's witnesses
so oblivious that I've been known to quote Leviticus
outside your local liqour store, holding stolen Guinnesses
prone to wickedness, but still keep my flow ridiculous
and stoners dig this shit because I spit with coded images
every working day is just a perfect waste of precious life
bleeding out your dreams beneath these weak flourescent lights
I trained this little chimp....now he's been elected twice
sacred language, if you get this mic, bless it right

sometimes there's no explaining all this weight in my chest
pen to paper like a razor to flesh, mistakes and regrets
it's all about safety, respect and breakable necks
as real as breathing and as sacred as sex
cipher complete, wordsound slicing the beat
cuz the archetypes change but the cycle repeats
noble born, dreaming of a world with open doors
the resurrected Wombat King with broken horns
lock with the beat, watch your chains drop to my feet
it's the sideways escape plan that shocked the police
criminal scams, the psylocybin ritual dance
with invisible hands tickling my pineal glands
crazy intense....information re-arranged in my head
remembering the taste of her flesh, naked in bed
I wrote this shit after I left for a month, she gets in the blood
genetics and molecular love
after all the opening scence and awkward circumstances
from the nervous glances to the first advances
I tried doing love songs, the lesson I learned
is that you can't do it justics when you dress it it words
so change channels and watch as young lovers become
their own father and daugher <chhhk> mother and son
cipher complete, the wordsound slicing the beat
cuz the archetypes change but the cycle repeats
