"That Is Not A Wizard" lyrics
Aesop Rock & Blockhead Lyrics
True crime, fantasy, action-adventure, game show
It's all sci-fi, I'm all Play-Doh
I like data that turn brains to egg yolk
It turn royals to regular John or Jane Does
I hate praising net worth over legwork
I hate ceding all power to the extroverts
I find the current social architecture hell on earth
We make shepherds and shadow 'em to the netherworld
I move reticent, never really an open book
I'm gone fishin' at the risk of being overlooked
I know you love it when the novas open cobra hoods
A little show to get the focus off the cloven foot
Behind the curtain the Merlin is all jellyfish
I get to beckon the wrecking ball to your Lego brick
I wish you nothing but the gentle kiss of yellow piss
I give you nothing but the number for my exorcist
I was on the floor in a fugue state
Tripping over old flicks
Picking out a new name
I was on the couch feeling real gone
Learning how to walk from leaving the TV on
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
Romance, comedy, documentary, newscast
It's all cartoons, I'm all smooth jazz
I seen a few that plotted futures over chewed fat
Abandon crew to collude with the common sewer rat
We value wrath above any accurate narrative
We let our most irascible design the characters
They only dressing they vendettas up as parables
Promoting privacy and cowardice as parallels
I got rid of the whip and told myself to boogie more
Invoke eternal disobedience in human form
Secure the city short an infantry and wooden horse
You missed the morning you were born to play the bugle for
I like glassy lake water and old maps
Tall tales with black sails and skull flags
Cold lemonade and OG Golden Axe
I don't like to talk about the UFO Crash
I was on the floor in a fugue state
Tripping over old flicks
Picking out a new name
I was on the couch feeling real gone
Learning how to walk from leaving the TV on
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
Late night, thriller, reality, drama, western
It's all politics, I'm all dead nerves
My margin riddled with bubble letters, and French girls
My special powers are animus and revenge-thirst
Corrosive energy hemorrhaging from the heavyweights
You like adherents who would swear they saw you levitate
That dedication never question if the record straight
It help you keep the accountability M.I.A
We see the quivering kitten beneath the goat mask
Intimidation means influence over drone attack
This ain't exactly some sophisticated code to crack
Some people like to see a decent morning overcast
Sometimes a beam of light comes screaming from my upper trunk
I walk around in public looking like a hundred suns
My covey turn that something wicked into nothing much
I give a fuck if all the money's in the blood and guts
I was on the floor in a fugue state
Tripping over old flicks
Picking out a new name
I was on the couch feeling real gone
Learning how to walk from leaving the TV on
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
It's all sci-fi, I'm all Play-Doh
I like data that turn brains to egg yolk
It turn royals to regular John or Jane Does
I hate praising net worth over legwork
I hate ceding all power to the extroverts
I find the current social architecture hell on earth
We make shepherds and shadow 'em to the netherworld
I move reticent, never really an open book
I'm gone fishin' at the risk of being overlooked
I know you love it when the novas open cobra hoods
A little show to get the focus off the cloven foot
Behind the curtain the Merlin is all jellyfish
I get to beckon the wrecking ball to your Lego brick
I wish you nothing but the gentle kiss of yellow piss
I give you nothing but the number for my exorcist
I was on the floor in a fugue state
Tripping over old flicks
Picking out a new name
I was on the couch feeling real gone
Learning how to walk from leaving the TV on
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
You could bear witness to the second first step
