[00:30.97]I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
[00:33.72]Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
[00:36.06]Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
[00:38.56]Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
[00:41.29]I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
[00:43.95]But the stones turned precious when they all came out
[00:46.34]On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
[00:48.88]Body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop
[00:51.63]Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor
[00:54.21]What was left a shoestring budget on call
[00:56.85]Then these new styles came along
[00:58.78]Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
[01:01.94]Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
[01:04.84]Make you feel old and jaded
[01:06.95]The point was to make it and we made it but
[01:09.33]We didn't know how to keep it
[01:10.89]Like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
[01:12.73]Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
[01:15.37]Store it underneath the bed and open it up
[01:17.60]Once in a blue moon
[01:19.10]Think about a cool ending
[01:21.28]To a story that ended too soon
[01:23.01]Gotta bring back the feeling
[01:24.73]I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
[01:27.83]A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
[01:30.39]To an open heart, it's a daily operation
[01:32.99]After six come seven and eight
[01:35.37]Access code to the pearly gates
[01:37.96]They say heaven can wait
[01:39.12]And you speak of fate
[01:40.70]A finale to a play for my mate
[01:42.63]I see the angels draw the drapes
[01:45.99]Over the earthscape
[01:47.51]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[01:49.18]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
[01:51.67]As our records will stay on rotate
[02:15.21]You say
[02:35.88]You say a circle is a flawless shape
[02:37.93]Every part equi-distance from the center
[02:40.12]On the arc without a start or a finish
[02:42.15]A line on a loop carries weight
[02:44.08]A freight train runs unabated
[02:45.47]Views vanish from my point vantage
[02:47.66]Passages come in and out
[02:49.49]The way I recall your antics
[02:51.51]Still alive 'cause I said it
[02:53.39]A life of its own unless we dead it
[02:55.49]Till they see our name in credits
[02:57.22]A labor of love you mean slavery
[02:59.50]Surely, it's been quite savory
[03:02.05]Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
[03:04.79]Pure magic when she touches me
[03:06.67]I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
[03:10.54]You profess, would you be my guest
[03:12.46]Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
[03:16.12]Just pass it on like asong
[03:18.15]And I might look calm and collected at a glance
[03:20.39]But I taste the void when I'm not connected
[03:23.07]To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
[03:25.61]Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict
[03:28.37]On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
[03:31.68]The mind in need of stimulation
[03:33.55]Elevator music to the space station
[03:35.79]Penthouse of stars a-blazing
[03:38.02]After six come seven and eight
[03:40.40]Access code to the pearly gates
[03:43.05]They say heaven can wait
[03:44.23]And you speak of fate
[03:45.70]A finale to a play for my mate
[03:47.73]I see the angels draw the drapes
[03:50.94]Over the earthscape
[03:52.41]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[03:54.41]Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape
[03:56.85]As our records will stay on rotate
