On fourth Street, the orphan
children play on a jungle gym
Lil Timmy broke his arm
again on the monkey bars
Johnny's dad got a nicer
car than all the other kids
He becomes the alpha and
picks on everybody else
Max protects Claire
from all the bullies
Claire always wished he
was as pretty as Julie
Boys always chase Julie
around the sandbox
Claire just waits till she
gets picked up by her grandpa
All of this before
the brainwash starts
Before they get polluted,
start thinking like adults
Life is fantasy and
summersaults then
Before the world tear
apart imagination
Before there were rules,
before there were limits
Your only enemies were
brussels sprouts and spinach
Me, I used to
wanna be a wizard
When did life
gets so serious, serious
Whatever happened to
apple juice and cartwheels
Ahhhhhh
Whatever happened to
apple juice and cartwheels
Abracadabra
Abracadabra
Abra--cadabra
Abracadabra
Vadacadous, vadacadous
Excelsior, excelsior
I love when you
smell like your car
Smell like you've
been driving for days
You ain't even stop
for gas, my n#gga
Mr. Postman, is
you driving to me
Is you driving
'cross country
You've been up for
three days with one nap
I know you miss
the nighttime
I know you miss
your lifetime
Tell us the truth about it
Cocaine is ruthless
I know the truth about it
Cocaine is ruthless
Yeah
Well, my good days are exactly
like the bad ones
My bitch say that I defy
the laws of attraction
I've always been terrified
of ending up normal, normal
Things that we all search
for end up finding us
God is like the school bell,
He won't tell you when your time is up
Shit just end up working out,
why do we wonder why it does, why it does
Yeah, so I asked God to
take me on a perfect date
Swear I saw Him crying, don't
know why everyone's sure it's rain
Education system, but I
feel we only learn from change
Every time I think about it
shit just starts to hurt my brain
Problems we can't solve always
seem to be my favorite ones
Life just gets so boring,
playing superhero makes it fun
So why is heroism
so close to heroin, heroin
We are what we believe in
There is no such
thing as freedom
But what can we do
What can we do
'Cause I see the light
at the end of the tunnel
Yeah, it feels like I'm dying,
dying, yeah, dying, I'm dead
They tell you that you need to
sleep and suddenly you do
Scared you gonna wake up
as someone who isn't you
We've all been down that road
before poured alcohol on open sores
Nobody can hurt me if I go
inside and close the door
Not scared of growing old and
dying, feel this where the answer lives
You wear the garments
everybody needs to dress some manikins, manikins
- Manikins, manikins
- Make some noise
We are what we believe in
There is no such
thing as dreaming
But what can we do
What can we do
'Cause I see the light
at the end of the tunnel
It feels like I'm
dying, dying, dying, I'm dead
We are what we believe in
There is no such
thing as dreaming
What can we do
What can we do
'Cause I see the light
at the end of the tunnel
It feels like I'm
dying, dying, dying, I'm dead
Make some noise
Did no one ever
teach you how to dance?
Nobody ever taught
you how to dance?
Well, well, everyone
knows how to dance. There's only so much time.
Yeah, somebody died today,
I, I saw his picture in the funny papers
Didn't think anybody
died on a Friday, some angry banker, banker
Or some kind of money
trader, recently divorced was drunk driving down the highway
And drove off the bridge
to his wedding song, blew out the bass in his speakers
You can still hear the treble
going, the hospital was useless
And everything was quiet but
the music, recently, I only meet peace when in deep sleep
Been the same dream, world
safe, smile on her face
Waiting on the other side, I
wonder if he'll tend to the other side
Yeah, what your eyes
see, too naive for war and that'll screw ya
Still bet it all on the
glory, Hallelujah - Hallelujah
I heard the answer in the
gibberish of an old drunk
All he said was he's in no
rush, if I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
I bet I'd be rich
by April Fools' Day
The moon's wide awake,
with a smile on his face
As he smuggle constellations
in his suitcase
Don't you love silence
Everything quiet
but the music
Everything quiet but the
music, do you love silence? Oh
Everything quiet
but the music
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, somebody gave
birth to a baby boy
I saw his picture
in the funny papers
11 pounds, named after
his Uncle Gabriel
His mother cried with her
lips against his soft face
Why'd she bring these bright
eyes into this dark place
Oh, sweet, sweet oblivion
Way before the information
gets settled in
I swear to God I
never wanna sin again
- But I fear that, yeah
- Trouble's on its way
Why does it matter
At all, oh, oh, woahh
Don't be afraid to
put your two cents in
Might not be able to
afford anything, but
I'm always up for a bargain
The dragons are flying
south for the winter
They don't like
cold weather either
Okay, I was driving up to
Shangri-La to get my meditation on
I was thinking Lamb of God,
she was thinking Saint Laurent
She sell her pussy on
Millionaires' Avenue
Paper's not the problem,
spending money always casual
Why do you whine like your
last name was Rothschild
Life been a bitch ever since
they let me out the doghouse
No mercy for the docile, flow
is hostile, but don't sleep
Codeine came back
to get me high again
Just how super is a
supermodel - Oh, oh
Just how super
is a supermodel - Oh, oh
It's the house of the rising
sun a village so unusual
If you die now, promise
you'll smile at my funeral
Yeah, it's just
a rule to follow
If you're lax, you
can lose tomorrow
Yeah
I am getting ready
to sign my life away
The weather's nice today,
what a perfect day to die
She kill herself, but
she'd rather get married
There's coconut vodka, but
she'd rather have cherry
I wish my drug
dealer took the Amex
Can't find my debit card
I told her, meet
me by the annex
We can get high
by the reservoir
Oh, my goodness,
girl, you a milkshake
Extra large, no, you
shouldn't, you said it'd never get this far
Do you have an extra
ticket to the seminar
Show me where all
the old records are
She got a brand-new
dinette set
But she still don't know
how to set the table
I told her that this feeling
about as good as it gets
Just how super
is a supermodel
Just how super
is a supermodel
This is the house of the
rising sun, a village so unusual
If you die now, promise
you'll smile at my funeral
Yeah, it's just
a rule to follow
If you're lax, you
can lose tomorrow
Do they dream
just like we do?
Do they dream
just like we do?
Do they love just like we do?
Do they love just like we
do? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Do they feel just like we do?
Ohhhhhhh
Do they feel just like we do?
Oh, oh, oh
Do you know anything at all
You've been waiting
for answers as parades
And dancers keep building
your castle so strong
The moon made of water,
you swim to the shore
You can try your best escaping,
the universe is breaking
You say you can't
take it no more
The pressure is building like
buildings you jumped from
Wishing that wishing
could lift this conundrum
The streets that you
walk on are shallow
But do you feel as
big as your shadow?
No
No, oh, oh, oh
No, oh
No, no, no, no
Do they dream
just like we do?
Do they dream
just like we do?
Said if you could
make, if you could make
If you could make
Give you a chance
to start all over
All right, let's get started
Whoo, yeah
- You can feel it
- Yeah
- Can you feel it? Vibrations
- Yeah
Okay, I went to sleep faded,
then I woke up invisible - Wow
Keep the ingredients, but
I got the kitchen full, whoa, my thoughts are cynical
Actions unpredictable,
supermodel bitches hold auditions in my swimming pool
Whoo, this feeling is feeling
pretty invincible
I know, pray this
life reciprocal and I'ma come back an eagle
Thirsty for evil, the wine
chilled in hell, right here I gave my life to this shit
- Already killed myself, whoo
- No, no, no, no, no
We ain't the same, homie,
no, the world afraid to change, but it changed on me
Whoa, always been the
realest, keep the same homies, uh-huh
So that bullshit fades slowly,
it's goin', goin', goin', goin'
I'm goin', goin', goin',
goin', goin', goin' - Okay, ooh
Goin', goin',
goin', goin', goin', woahh
Will you follow? Course,
where are you goin' - Ooh
Watch it go, where are you
goin' - Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
- Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

- Whoa, oh, oh
- Still don't know yet, Darnell, where the fuck are you going
Whoa, whoa, da, da
- Uh-oh
- Whoa, oh, oh
- Wow
- Goin' gone
- Goin', goin', yeah, wow
- Whoa, oh, oh
Okay, I went to sleep famous,
and I woke up invisible, rich as fuck and miserable
At least I did Kimmel
and Arsenio, my mom got it on video
That's the shit I live for,
all this other shit is trivial- One, two, go
Will you bear witness
to a miracle?
I don't know, I'm not a kid no
more, coming for those residuals, that money
Be asleep in a couple minutes,
my bitch have a nightmare, wake up
- Made me some cereal
- Whoo, whoo
- She knows I love my cereal
- She know it
The sun come up, look
at her face, said
- Oh, my God, here we go, yeah
- Don't blow it
Am I okay? Fuck no, just so
nuts, so
Need to let the drugs go,
tryna find heaven, I get high but never come close
We still wonder why
we'll never learn to love
It's because all the air
is filled with gun smoke
A middle finger
to the cyber gods
Fall back, or I'ma fuck
around and let this virus off
In the mud, fuck your
brainwash, I'm signing off - Get it
Can't kill a god with an
upload - Dead
Yeah, I'm goin', goin',
goin', goin', goin', goin', goin', goin', goin'
- Goin', goin', goin'
- Where are you goin' - Oooo
Goin', goin'
- Do you have a destination?
