[00:18.68]I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
[00:21.68]Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
[00:24.00]Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
[00:26.46]Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
[00:29.10]I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
[00:31.21]But the stones turned precious when they all came out
[00:33.63]On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
[00:36.02]
[00:38.64]Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor,
[00:41.19]What was left a shoestring budget on call
[00:43.48]Then these new styles came along
[00:45.65]Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
[00:48.15]Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
[00:50.90]Make you feel old and jaded
[00:52.74]The goal was to make it and we made it but
[00:54.59]We didn't know how to keep it
[00:56.68]Like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
[00:58.24]Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
[01:00.43]Store it underneath the bed and open it up
[01:02.80]Once in a blue moon,
[01:04.18]Think about a cool ending
[01:06.12]To a story that ended too soon
[01:07.69]Gotta bring back the feeling
[01:09.56]I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
[01:12.22]A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
[01:14.83]To an open heart, it's a daily operation
[01:17.18]
[01:19.85]Access code to the pearly gates
[01:22.07]They say heaven can wait
[01:23.21]And you speak of fate
[01:24.53]A finale to a play for my mate
[01:25.90]I see the angels draw the drapes over the earthscape
[01:30.24]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[01:32.11]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[01:34.05]As our records will stay on rotate
[01:56.37]You say a circle is a flawless shape
[01:58.58]Every part equi-distance from the center
[02:01.41]On the arc without a start or a finish
[02:02.83]A line on a loop carries weight
[02:04.65]A freight train runs unabated
[02:06.54]Views vanish from my point vantage,
[02:08.29]Passages come in and out
[02:09.75]The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
[02:11.56]Still alive cause I said it
[02:13.07]A life of its own unless we dead it
[02:15.21]Till they see our name in credits
[02:16.84]A labor of love you mean slavery
[02:18.93]Surely, it's been quite savory
[02:21.38]Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
[02:23.75]Pure magic when she touches me
[02:25.89]I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
[02:29.62]You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
[02:31.42]Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
[02:34.66]Just pass it on like a song
[02:36.36]And I might look calm and collected at a glance
[02:38.74]But I taste the void when I'm not connected
[02:41.02]To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
[02:43.59]I'd hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
[02:45.95]On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed The mind in need of stimulation
[02:51.06]Elevator music to the space station
[02:53.33]Penthouse of stars a-blazing
[02:55.45]
[02:57.56]Access code to the pearly gates
[03:00.05]They say heaven can wait
[03:01.36]And you speak of fate
[03:02.47]A finale to a play for my mate
[03:04.21]I see the angels draw the drape over the earthscape
[03:08.41]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[03:11.00]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[03:13.36]As our records will stay on rotate
