[00:41.56]I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
[00:44.38]Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
[00:46.94]Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
[00:49.20]Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
[00:52.29]I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
[00:54.72]But the stones turned precious when they all came out
[00:57.21]On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
[00:59.69]Body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop
[01:02.46]Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor,
[01:05.31]What was left a shoestring budget on call
[01:07.73]Then these new styles came along
[01:09.68]Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
[01:12.89]Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
[01:15.46]Make you feel old and jaded
[01:17.68]The goal was to make it and we made it but
[01:19.84]We didn't know how to keep it
[01:21.69]Like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
[01:23.38]Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
[01:26.10]Store it underneath the bed and open it up
[01:28.53]Once in a blue moon,
[01:30.11]Think about a cool ending
[01:31.88]To a story that ended too soon
[01:34.10]Gotta bring back the feeling
[01:35.64]I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
[01:38.60]A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
[01:41.16]To an open heart, it's a daily operation
[01:43.85]After six come seven and eight
[01:46.66]Access code to the pearly gates
[01:48.72]They say heaven can wait
[01:50.20]And you speak of fate
[01:51.70]A finale to a play for my mate
[01:54.65]I see the angels draw the drapes
[01:56.91]Over the earthscape
[01:58.90]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[01:59.86]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[02:02.30]As our records will stay on rotate
[02:25.90]You say a circle is a flawless shape
[02:28.20]Every part equi-distance from the center
[02:30.17]On the arc without a start or a finish
[02:32.80]A line on a loop carries weight
[02:33.76]A freight train runs unabated
[02:35.68]Views vanish from my point vantage,
[02:37.80]Passages come in and out
[02:39.30]The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
[02:41.61]Still alive cause I said it
[02:43.15]A life of its own unless we dead it
[02:45.20]Till they see our name in credits
[02:47.00]A labor of love you mean slavery
[02:49.30]Surely, it's been quite savory
[02:51.98]Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
[02:54.66]Pure magic when she touches me
[02:56.90]I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
[03:00.51]You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
[03:02.43]Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
[03:06.19]Just pass it on like a song
[03:08.00]And I might look calm and collected at a glance
[03:10.33]But I taste the void when I'm not connected
[03:12.89]To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
[03:15.38]Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
[03:18.79]On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
[03:21.63]The mind in need of stimulation
[03:23.62]Elevator music to the space station
[03:25.95]Penthouse of stars a-blazing
[03:28.19]After six come seven and eight
[03:30.66]Access code to the pearly gates
[03:33.40]They say heaven can wait
[03:34.45]And you speak of fate
[03:35.91]A finale to a play for my mate
[03:38.96]I see the angels draw the drapes
[03:41.22]Over the earthscape
[03:42.47]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[03:44.22]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[03:46.90]As our records will stay on rotate
