Much of the night drifted by peacefully and then I heard it
Beauty braid the Beast hair
And bring him chicken pelmeni in a fake Eames chair
I need Sade on a speaker in need of repair
The same way all God's creatures need air
Feed four fish and a snail I was told hitched
I said "make yourself at home," he been multiplying since
Counted fifteen, there's a new one every time
Like you lend a friend your Jeep and he go use it in a crime
He told me he was going to Costco
How'd they find it later in a pond outside Chicago?
Why you only holler when it's Contra in a foxhole?
Why you never pop in with some tacos and an Optimo?
Lhasa Apso Rock, I'm not just a phase
I'm at the spot in pajamas 'til I'm a notch on a blade
You in some shit, you hit the hip, I get the rockets engaged
Now how does one see a solid and one a polymer clay? Huh?
The job is not the dock of the bay
I know that's not a popular take
I'm down to bottle shit up, but I guess it got me today
I seen the cat break a vase and I broke my bottle the same
Look, peek into what's popping beyond the event horizon
It's a war on dirty dishes, to a blur of Ken and Mayim
I'm jealous of that Mrs. Meyers lemon-lime alliance
They've been friends like forever, always effortlessly vibing
I ain't lying, the crib is an A/V club
Butterfly a piece of tech, liberate the weed crumbs
See me to a tedium, dress it as meditation
Being lost in repetition is what get us through the
Cha-cha-cha-cha-changes, Aes is plain aimless
Long day of ricocheting at the wrong angles
All the way dazed, it's part of what make him dangerous
Particle man party with the straight to VHS, Ayy!
Brought up on some always at the ready for collect call
From "It's Aes, I'm at the mall, come get me"
Pre-celly when both of our time mattered
And you ain't have to probe or notice some kind of pattern
The nose knows well in advance of the Geiger counter
If something's in the air when compared to the prior encounter
It isn't Incommunicado, it's a lotto
Even if you buy a ticket, you lucky to win a convo, or a visit
Lemme catch you up on the crib
I got a palm in the corner about as tall as the kid
I got a fig in the southern corner, it's dwarfing the palm
A tiny peek into the florals we've been hoarding at home, Holmes
Hunchback of Rome, get the cane raised
Even aged to a jump-scare away from the grave
Yeah, two could play cave
YAY!
