Lyrics:
I've been hanging as a fairy trif raf
Somewhere along the go hobrose
I don't think it's gonna be much longer
So I know they're up, harlequin old codes
Love is a bourgeois construct
So I've given up on the bourgeoisie
Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy
When you walked out you did me a favor
You made me see reality
This love is a bourgeois construct
It's a blame turn to fallacy
You won't see me with a bunch of losers
Promising fatality
Love doesn't mean a thing to me
Talking tough as we linger
We're better now, it's clear to me
Love is a bourgeois construct
So I've given up on the bourgeoisie
While we're anchored forget the voices
I'll just get along with what I've got
Watching the weeds in the garden
Putting my fear upon odds
I'll explore the outer limits of boredom
Moaning periodically
Drift a far time, lonely lay about
That's me
When you walked out you did me a favor
It's absolutely clear to me
That love is a bourgeois construct
Just like they said at university
I've been taking my time for a long time
With all the shadow and forever its cost
Calculating what you've lost
Now I'm digging through my student paper bags
Flicking through Karl Marx again
Searching for the soul of England
Drinking tea like Tony Benn
Love is just a bourgeois construct
So give it up, the bourgeoisie
Until you come back to me
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Talking tough and feeling bitter
We're better now, it's clear to me
That love is a bourgeois construct
So I've given up the bourgeoisie
Your mouth said this never
But your fingers have shown me
Your head is so clever
You claim that you own me
Forever, forever, forever, forever
You have the right to conduct me
In whatever fashion
Your attempt to construct me
In the interest of passion
You sent me
To Toledo, Toledo, Toledo
I came back with handfuls
I did what you asked me
But after the thank yous
That you quickly got passed me
I'm expected
You're expecting
I'm expected
Expected
When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body revealed to me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh
[Chorus]
And I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
And be it the wind
Or the rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth
Or the changes in the tide
I don't know what brought us together
What strange forces of nature conspired
To construct the present
From the past
[Chorus]
When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body revealed me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh
[Chorus]
Then when I witnessed that the benefits of living good from making hits
I make bread off what I invent
Probably grab another hun' though
Industry cutthroat, watch how I'm construct though, uh
Concrete jungle
If rappers were presidents, I would get Trump's vote, uh
Truly, I'm just staying humble
But I can take it back to Nasty if I want to
Some young dumb crazy muthafucka from the hood
(One, two, one, two)
Quick, quick, tell me something awful
Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Tell me all your secrets
All you'll ever be is
My eternal consolation prize
You see, I was a debutante in another life, but
Now I seem to be scared to go outside
If comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what
I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
I hate it here
My friends used to play a game where
We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead of this
I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists
And getting married off for the highest bid
Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now
Seems like it was never even fun back then
Nostalgia is a mind's trick
If I'd been there, I'd hate it
It was freezing in the palace
I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind
When they found a better planet, only the gentle survived
I dreamed about it in the dark
The night I felt like I might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
I hate it here
I'm lonely, but I'm good
I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life
And I'll get lost on purpose
This place made me feel worthless
Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me
And in my fantasies, I rise above it
And way up there, I actually love it
I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
I hate it here
Quick, quick, tell me something awful
Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Now for this part of our programduring this
Part of our program we are going
To perform for you various
Chamber music piecesand
Also some zany Mothers of Invention
Bullshit we have the assistance of a famous
Pop star to help us tonight during
Our renowned ballet sequenceand later on in
The program we're going to have
Our road manager Dick Barber come out
And strangle a rubber chicken
Make some funny noises for youand as if that
Weren't enough we're going to do our version
Of the birth of Frankenstein live on stage
Including spark generator and smoke bombs
And a convulsing monster which we construct
Out of Motorheadand, uh let's see
What else've we got to do? That's about it
Go on and let the mind perceive
Neglect the sense of ignorance to alter life
Embrace the beauty from inside
We are one
We are the strength of the universe at heart
Construct the light
Implore of the energy, bestow the understanding
Follow the scent of the sinners as the
Body of our mind disintegrates
Forever is the course upon your plate
Don't ever ask if we consume the blood and hate
Repeat this life if you will, but don't count on forgiveness from the filthy swine
Here we stand at the threshold of paradise, stealing a new world
I never would have thought our place in history would come to this, but we are infinite
We are one
Neglect the sense of ignorance to alter life
Embrace the beauty from inside
We are one
We are the strength of the universe at heart
Construct the light
Implore of the energy, bestow the understanding
We are one
We are the strength of the universe at heart
Construct the light
Implore of the energy, bestow the understanding
A star
A soft memory turning away from starlight to self
Asking to remember
The first death
The last birth
The first time you recognize the alien inside
In the face of abject misery
You remember the post human celestial sparkle
A mutant faith
A mutant faith
An identity faith
Perhaps nothing but a chance construct
(Construct) your vanity or your sanctuary
(Construct) your vanity or your sanctuary
Your sanctuary, or your sanctuary
Or your sanctuary, or your sanctuary
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody
Yeah I'd like to watch all thousand cable channels but there's nothing on
And my high speed connection's monitored daily by the pentagon
These things are seldom what they seem
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams
Won't go away
No Peace and No Friends
We Trace the mortal edge with no defense
To State the obvious
This world is perilous for us
No sense and No Guide
Ain't it beautiful to be alive Yeah right
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense
We are the prey and culture is the predator
I'm running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality
Is there an option left for me
I'm not immune to despondency
There's no way
No Peace and No Friends
We Trace the mortal edge with no defense
To State the obvious
This world is perilous for us
No sense and No Guide
Ain't it beautiful to be alive Yeah right
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense
There's a signpost on the corner
And it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in the shade
And your mother's in the kitchen
Where she's patching all the cracks in the wall
We never had to care in the world
Too much to sacrifice
It's hard to recognize
Just a compromise of purely deadly alibis
It's combinational
The pressure so intense
So I'll construct this sound defense
Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today
I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away
I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white
So I'll construct this sound defense
Experimental Diva FM
Psycho construct

Construct
Eternal starlight
Tongue
Soft shell, soft
Turning away from the first death
The last birth in the bloodline
Asking to remember
To recognize the alien within
Dignity in the abject
The first time you died
Celestial sparkle
A mutant faith
Post-human
Vanity howling
The first time you died
Entropy
A mutant faith
A mutant faith
A mutant faith
Vanity
A mutant faith
Vanity howling
A mutant faith
I'm ethereal, my children are legion, serial
They stick to my skin like beloved cysts
I tear away with my nails and teeth and fists
Touch the hands of inverted saints
Follow my heart through the threaded pain
Callow man is a sentinel screaming
I see the future, the future is bleeding
Sores, every goddamn minute I can feel 'em now
Like a virus, you will never kill me now
Goin' underground, comin' on like hepatitis
We're out and you can't reshape us
Another bug in the construct
Tearin' up the main bus be
Zeros and ones are everything, execute me
Everywhere you look, it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by control
This is where the line is drawn, see
You can't take my soul away from me
What do you need to see?
annihilation
I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better more
We have to save ourselves
I will never become another piece
Inside the paralytic construct I hate
Live forever? well, I would rather die
At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create
This is yours, but you had better choose
Before they take away your right to decide
I guess I'll never believe in fuckin' anything
But my solace is I can handle everything
The ending's the same / the world will not change
The answer is clear?
Looking out across suburban yards
To the construct of our days through the thinning of the trees.
Why can I only build a house of cards?
That gets blown to pieces with the fall's first fickle breeze.
Still are we… stranger
Still we are… strangers
Collapsing in, into ideal life
Eyes flash back, body flash back
Eyes flash back, body flash back
Eyes flash back, body flash back
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
Eroded away
Eroding away
Grasping for the vantage point
And my communication failed
And my communication failed
And my communication failed
Eyes flash back body flash back
Eyes flash back body flash back
Eyes flash back body flash back
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
There is no sense in seeing
There is no sense in saying
No sense in seeing
No sense in saying
And my communication failed
And my communication failed
And my communication failed
Eyes flash back body flash back
Eyes flash back body flash back
Eyes flash back body flash back
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
You’ve got to reconstruct the construct for yourself
I had a friend, who kept a candle in his pocket,
He used to touch it when the wind was blowing high,
I guess it mad him feel like he could buck the system
And when it flickered out we laid him down to die,
Turn on the light,
Turn on a million blinding brilliant white
Incendiary lights,
A beacon in the night,
I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry,
I'll construct a rock of tempered beams and trusses
And equip it with a million tiny suns,
I'll install upon the roof on my compartment
And place tinfoil on my floor and on my walls
Turn on the light,
Turn on a million blinding brilliant white
Incendiary lights,
A beacon in the night,
I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry,
And I'll burn like a roman fucking
Candle, like a chasm in the night, for a minuscule duration,
Ecstatic immolation, incorrigible delight
annihilation
I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger then I was
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better more
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
I will never become another piece
Inside the paralytic construct I hate
Live forever? well, I would rather die
At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create
This is yours, but you had better choose
Before they take away your right to decide
I guess I'll never believe in fuckin' anything
But my solace is I can handle everything
The ending's the same, the world will not change
The answer is clear, obliteration
I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger then I
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better
I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger then I
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better more
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
Hello Seattle, I am a manta-ray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct my summer home
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed from everyone
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
I'm ethereal, my children are legion, serial
They stick to my skin like beloved cysts
I tear away with my nails and teeth and fists
Touch the hands of inverted saints

Sores, every goddamn minute I can feel 'em now

Psycho construct psycho con-psycho construct
Experimental Diva FM diva construct
Garden garden construct
Psycho construct experimental Diva FM
Diva constructed garden constructed
Eternal constructed tongue constructed
Starlight construct starlit psoriasis
Praying mantis shelled soft
Infinity femininity i'm asking to remember
The first death
The last birth to a bloodline
The first time you died
And recognized the alien inside
In the face of abject entropy
Celestial sparkle
At the crossroad
There's a street sign
It's a construct
How'd it get in my mind?
It's a door to the divine
It's a fine line in the end times
I'll be yours
You can be mine
Love unites
Breaking as the light divides
Into the color of your eyes
I'll be your race and religion
You be my race and religion
This love is no superstition
United body and soul
Race and religion
Race and religion (race and religion)
It's joy and it's union
Your sense of rhythm
How you take communion
It's a door to the divine
It's the moonlight on a landmine
I'll be yours (I'll be yours)
You can be mine (you be mine)
Love unites
Breaking as the light divides
Into the color of your eyes
I'll be your race and religion
You be my race and religion
This love is no competition
United body and soul
Race and religion
Race and religion (race and religion)
The light arrives from the past
Hits your eyes before it divides
Into colors
You and me could be we
Could be we
Are the light you can't see
And we are the roots of the tree
And we've got one life
No time for division
New vision
Be my race and religion
Race and religion (race and religion)
Race and religion
Race and religion (race and religion)
I'll be your race and religion
You could be my body and soul (body and soul)
I'll be your race and religion
You could be my body and soul (body and soul)
I'll be your race and religion
You could be my body and soul
There's electricity in here
With enough watts to shock the southern hemisphere
I put a surge in your city with my lyrics in the air
Shock hazardous, take caution and beware
Of high bolts and killer hertz, lyrics will kill, they hurt
Blast those, my energy's converted to a rhyme
I maximize in no time
Electrify the sky and go way be over now, uh
Just an MC, I'm not your average MC
I do more than MC, that's what suckers envy, and E
And every movement contains concepts that ain't nobody doin'
Come over these dramas or whack, and dirty
They tryin' to call me, perform track quality
Give me some punts, 'cause you really muddy
You move slowly 'cause of no electricity
I got my shit on overflow
When I ever find you, my overload
Oh, overflow
I got my shit on overflow (Overflow)
[Chorus:]
The whole globe's gonna feel the effect of the
Movement (Movement)
Movement (Yo, DC, London, Tokyo, feel the wrath of the)
Movement (Movement)
Movement (LA, help me turn it out, it's the)
Movement (Movement)
Movement
(We gonna keep your party jumpin' while your heart is steady thumpin' to the)
Movement (Movement)
Movement
We grip the pleasure from small things
Not from a Lex nor diamond rings
I just wanna crib in they studios set
Build my enterprise connection projects
Cover all angles and higher your aspects
Break more barriers than new concepts
Cause what they can't stop me, no way
The time is now, we ain't got time to play
Hey, you, listen to what I got to say
Let's get together and form a parade
Just delete what you create over plates
Make sure it's measured the right way
With the right ingredients, construct more devient
Things to prosper for your brain to capture
Now what I'm after is to learn from all things
Building full swing, no strings
You got me thinking about things that I don't need to think about
You wanna change my appearance for the masters, scope me out
Undress me, then rearrange me
Yo I can't go for that (No...)
One day I will build a fountain
Drink and never grow old
Then I'll market an elixir
That will eliminate the common cold
Find your sickness on my list
Pay up front and make a wish
One day I will work with animals
All the tests I'm gonna do
All my stuff's completely natural
And when we're done we'll boil 'em
Down for glue
That we can use to re-adhere
Your lips to mine if you were here
There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you
I can't stand to wait in line long
So I built a new machine
It just measures up the distance
And then eliminates the folks between
One day I'll construct a satellite
And I'll name it after you
'Cause you were the greatest friend of all
Except for when you split my lip in two
To see the look upon your face
As I launch you into space
There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you
Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you
Some day I will find the secret
To your social chemistry
Then I'll print it on a t-shirt
And it'll make you want to be with me
If I wear it past your work
You'll see other guys are jerks
Much like pheromones for flies
You will not avoid my eyes
There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you
Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you
but please just stop and THINK!
If love for money is CORRUPT
Why do they CONSTRUCT
Instead of GIVING, so people can make
A LIVING, instead of KILLING
Maaaan I GIVE UP
PLEASE, I just want PEACE
Gang violence will DECREASE
Much love to 2pac an others put to silence
REST IN PEACE will the POLICE, ever CEASE
Or will they always act ELITE
Shoot first, then they ask the questions
When they busting HEAT
People blaming GOD, but that's quite FLAWED
Freewill is what we all have
Some are lost in DEFEAT only god can judge
I hold no grudge even when all eyez ON ME
Chains around your arms?
