[00:40.87]I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
[00:43.81]Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
[00:46.36]Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
[00:48.81]Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
[00:51.39]I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
[00:54.19]But the stones turned precious when they all came out
[00:56.57]On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
[00:59.11]Body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop
[01:01.86]Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor,
[01:04.36]What was left a shoestring budget on call
[01:06.90]Then these new styles came along
[01:09.19]Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
[01:12.18]Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
[01:14.88]Make you feel old and jaded
[01:17.01]The goal was to make it and we made it but
[01:19.33]We didn't know how to keep it
[01:21.08]Like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
[01:22.87]Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
[01:25.15]Store it underneath the bed and open it up
[01:27.75]Once in a blue moon,
[01:29.22]Think about a cool ending
[01:31.31]To a story that ended too soon
[01:33.16]Gotta bring back the feeling
[01:34.58]I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
[01:37.78]A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
[01:40.50]To an open heart, it's a daily operation
[01:43.00]
[01:45.47]Access code to the pearly gates
[01:47.96]They say heaven can wait
[01:49.49]And you speak of fate
[01:50.81]A finale to a play for my mate
[01:52.43]I see the angels draw the drapes over the earthscape
[01:57.34]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[01:59.16]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[02:01.53]As our records will stay on rotate
[02:24.77]You say a circle is a flawless shape
[02:27.04]Every part equi-distance from the center
[02:29.74]On the arc without a start or a finish
[02:31.82]A line on a loop carries weight
[02:33.49]A freight train runs unabated
[02:35.13]Views vanish from my point vantage,
[02:37.45]Passages come in and out
[02:39.03]The way I recall your antics
[02:41.16]Still alive cause I said it
[02:42.08]A life of its own unless we dead it
[02:44.87]Till they see our name in credits
[02:46.68]A labor of love you mean slavery
[02:48.85]Surely, it's been quite savory
[02:51.36]Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
[02:54.16]Pure magic when she touches me
[02:56.11]I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
[03:00.25]You profess, would you be my guest
[03:02.04]Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
[03:05.59]Just pass it on like a song
[03:07.42]And I might look calm and collected at a glance
[03:10.08]But I taste the void when I'm not connected
[03:12.80]To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
[03:15.17]I'd hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
[03:17.97]On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed The mind in need of stimulation
[03:23.08]Elevator music to the space station
[03:25.66]Penthouse of stars a-blazing
[03:28.19]After six come seven and eight
[03:30.12]Access code to the pearly gates
[03:33.04]They say heaven can wait
[03:34.61]And you speak of fate
[03:35.66]A finale to a play for my mate
[03:37.21]I see the angels draw the drape over the earthscape
[03:41.80]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[03:43.91]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[03:46.13]As our records will stay on rotate
