"ASAP / Made In New Orleans" lyrics
I'm leaving on the red-eye flight
This ain't the life I'm supposed to die in
I'll pay with severed ties
Just to fight this cold that I'm in
So, take me to the Carolinas
And I'll bring one chair to climb in
I don't care where I find it
Somewhere I can let the light in
I'll take this to the lakes
Make some Chicago mistakes
And then to where the ocean meets the trees
And then New York and then LA
Until I get the timbre of my soul
To break through the limits of my home
Tell the bay don't keep my place from getting cold
I'm 'a fill my cup, my friend
'Til my race is won
And my pace ain't glued to no one
I am some Himalayan lungs
Beneath the shades of blue
That were once Cheyenne
I'm 'a chase the sun
And I'm 'a hold its light in both my hands
Until I'm laced with some
Like diamonds on a Maybach
Like a lighter to a haystack
Call the fireman ASAP
You can tell the man, "Stay back."
Stay back!
In everything I knew, I see a prison in that
It's like the only way to lose is to sit in the back
I'm not running out of juice
I'm just switching the tap
I want a snicker doodle, dude
Where the cinnamon at?
Gimme new like booze to an innocent cat
Cut me loose like Zeus
When the sinners attack
Like a goon haiku with a syllable added
I'm 'a do as I do. I'm a criminal act
Let me hear a hallelujah for living to death
Bitch
I'm all "Can do" 'til the minute my death hits
It's always high noon to the man who is tested
To stay in the platoon is to stay electric
Some live in the boom and some live in the way back
Some get from the lagoon what you get from the waiter
And I'm mine. I'm choosing to live in a way that takes the light of the boom and plates that
It's like I'm dining on a Maybach
Like a lighter to a haystack
Call the fireman ASAP
You can tell the man, "Stay back."
Stay back!
This is going alone in the dead of the night
This grabbing a coat. Let's get outside
This taking a boat to some place I don't know and cannot find
If we meet in a Lowe's or we meet in Dubai
No matter the coast, no matter the time
No matter the road or how fat it goes
You bet I'll try
To find out where my home is
The last girl I'll ever notice
I've traveled this world alone just
To find my bed of roses
If you're the diamonds to my Maybach
If you're the lighter to my haystack
And you want me where your state's at
Call the fireman ASAP
This ain't the life I'm supposed to die in
I'll pay with severed ties
Just to fight this cold that I'm in
So, take me to the Carolinas
And I'll bring one chair to climb in
I don't care where I find it
Somewhere I can let the light in
I'll take this to the lakes
Make some Chicago mistakes
And then to where the ocean meets the trees
And then New York and then LA
Until I get the timbre of my soul
To break through the limits of my home
Tell the bay don't keep my place from getting cold
I'm 'a fill my cup, my friend
'Til my race is won
And my pace ain't glued to no one
I am some Himalayan lungs
Beneath the shades of blue
That were once Cheyenne
I'm 'a chase the sun
And I'm 'a hold its light in both my hands
Until I'm laced with some
