Chicken noodle thermos, parka marching out the Army Surplus
Over thermals, over thermals, over thermals, over thermals
Look, owl on my shoulder, initials on the katana
Whispering something wicked through a moisture-wicking balaclava
Not a cop in sight, not a watt of light in the fog
Silent night to God almighty, just from lighting cigars
Not a creature is stirring or purging lightning from the eye
On my palm, wide as long as y'all can die and respawn
Still going, if only a vehicle full of Merino wool
Who volunteer to wake to St. Bernard's for the foreseeable
I'm edumacated on every threat in the trade
Started checking the checker for any legerdemain
Caught 'em fudging the numbers and hiding birds in they coat
Burning phones and computers inside a circle of stones
When policing the people, it's, "Please return to your homes"
You get a people determined to take a turn in the strobe
I found something in the woods I wanna show you
It just might change how you float around the O2
You was like, "Okay, bet," drove 20 minutes (drove 20 minutes)
Looked for 30 seconds, said, "Can I get a witness?"
Went home different
Went home different
Two pair of socks under reindeer mukluks
Aiming to keep ten pigs awake in the Tundra
Plaza-to-plaza, thermometer going, "Nuh-uh"
My posse out-of-pocket on some occupy the umbra
If it's under freezing, I don't even wanna know a number
Just show me to the rolling thunder, wubba, wubba, wubba
Today a mall cop told me I should get a life
Double black diamond, a pirate to private property
Lion-hearted pioneer of high garbology
First archer to set the fire starter, "Oxenfree"
Defending some forgotten block of uncommon geometry
Before they fixed the road, there used to be this bump-to-bump
I guess in '97, so-and-so did such and such
In Timbs, on someone else's board, tell the story, spread the lore
It's epic to a people who would rather push than teleport
I found something in the woods I wanna show you
It just might change how you float around the O2
You was like, "Okay, bet," drove 20 minutes (drove 20 minutes)
Looked for 30 seconds, said, "Can I get a witness?"
Went home different
Went home different
Get your wig in the wind, get a feel for the traffic
Whether it's static or speedy, whether it's real or imagined
The colder the weather, the realer the magic
At least that's how it feels when it happens, okay
Raiders of the roads in parking lots of greater Carcassonne
Canis lupus carcass on, take me to your garlic knots
Coffin through the cars, I'm a part of a larger carpet bomb
Still partial to the wrong crowd, sorry, mom
Wander Eden, not a meter predetermined
Turn a curb into an evening, that's the key to freezer burning
I'm freezer burning, sweat a boiling ocean early Feb'
My coaches told me, "Don't come home without the serpent's head"
I told 'em, "Hold my turkey leg, point me at a pitchfork"
Brought the trophy home and took the poultry back, still warm
Out to flirt with hypothermia, it's CCTV's blurriest
Insurgents in your area
I found something in the woods I wanna show you
It just might change how you float around the O2
You was like, "Okay, bet," drove 20 minutes (drove 20 minutes)
Looked for 30 seconds, said, "Can I get a witness?"
Went home different
Went home different
