Rogue Wave

Aesop Rock

7

Yeah, a little bread, a little circus

It serve as a diversion for devils and death merchants

I was curled up underneath the swirling threat of reds and purplesLumberjack flannel, strapping saddles over servals

Paddling in circles with ten thousand maniacs in yankee caps

Who get to know the neighbors every time they tip the ladle back

Rag tag cats and canines

Who catch that tags on the fabric of space time

All work no play, dull boys rotate

Old Boy, Ghostface, Tolstoy, Coltrane

Throws up coffin nails, off the rails

Born bathed in a tornado of claws and tails

Got skulls on his sails, cobras on the pleather

Salt and pepper soldiers barely holding it together

But supposedly awoke and down to mobilize whenever

You′re pretty much a Gomer Pyle to pester, remember

I'm Pop-O-Matic trouble, I will commander the goulash

Under hockey hair, zoom off on a blue ox through the blogosphere

With poppies for your mama bear, carrots for the vitamix

Kibble for the puppy, something bloody for the firebit

Never mind the appetizer writing in the spider web

Stare into it long enough you biters just might find yourselves

Tea with the dark side, Slimer on speed dial

Sleep on a couch or a street or a leaf pile

Our kind can not be redeemed

I′m a cancer on the glamor, I can't with the me me me

No anesthesia, surgeon with the signal jammer scrambling the feed

Distributing the panacea free, all day

There is no amount of our fathers

That could remedy the black dog breathing down his collar

Mi casa like I'm Oscar, hot and popping out a flipped lid

Eyepatch, Prince wig, disappearing grid blip

Stiff lip, sure to shit talk a centurion,

Tsk tsk, I don′t really wiggle with invertebrates

Purp in the thurible, off sides, toss thine

Merch in the urinal, it′s nothing personal

Dirtbag don, don't provoke him to act up

I′m golden doing donuts in the Totoro cat bus

Everything I touch turn to black sludge

Bugs in the bag lunch, punch through a mack truck

Hunchback, get y'all acquainted with the contagion

Nobody safe, say hello to well beyond containment

I came for every cell between the belfry and the basement

You maybe wanna telephone your favorites

We take it where the warlocks lock horns, soda pop, popcorn

Top notch gore set to Bach over fog horns

Snotty nose, clogged pores, fork in his heart

Back away or catch a halo made of orbiting stars, yea

Transform in the dark

Got a dog nose sniffing out the source of the snark

Got a cat′s ears twitching every snap of a twig

Triangulate your position, a simple rabbit to skin

I been an echo in the dark who demo applied science at the parlay

Barf rainbows and cry diamonds, ok

Ready Freddy, headlong into creeping death

Respawn where you least expect

I could pick a pin and tumbler right in front of the guard

Out the front with another Picasso under his arm

Hit the city limit still exhibiting his inner Caulfield, baby

I'm H.E. double hockey sticks on wheels

New dawn, show ′em how the voodoo feels

Plus launch fireballs from the palm heels

On an otherwise slow day

This is how I row into the rogue wave, yo
