Mistress of ices
Stygian Skater Scribing devices Dancing on sabres So very relentless Counting the sheep Electrical fences Americans leap Paramorpheus Somnambulating Dream scarabaeus In chorus refraining So very relentless Counting the sheep Electrical fences Americans leap One, two, fisherman's stew Boiled on timber and stirred with a broom Three, four, pour it on the floor Feed all the beasties and cook up some more Five, six, mortar and brick Weaker than iron but stronger than sticks Seven, eight, lock up the gate Nothing to do but to sit and to wait Nine, ten, do it again Bun in the oven, a wolf in the den Companion chimera Lethean grazer Pausing to herald Mistress of sabers So very relentless Counting the sheep Electrical fences Americans leap |

Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm... Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm... Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm... Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm...
So tell me, when you took a practice scholastic aptitude test, Did you know the answers or did you guess? You rely on gimmicks to amuse your fans, And act all over bad to jack up your sound scan. What's the matter with you? How come you rhyme monosyllabically? Has atrophy stricken your entire vocabulary? Your style's like a garbage can, It's meant to be taken out on a weekly basis. Ever since you first reckoned you been in a state of suspended animation. You invoke Snuffleupagus and australopithecus, Me cray, you abacus. But enough about you lets talk about me, And how single-handedly I redefined the entire science of radio astronomy, Even nobel prize winners questioned my notions of reality. Oh, but I digress, You play sorry, I play chess. Queen to B3, checkmate, Go get some percosets! Haha haha! Careful with that mic, weezy! Do you really think it's that easy? Mmm, this is really good ice cream, You want some of it? Oh, my bad, I didn't know you were lactose intolerant. Makes you pass gas, frightens all the girls away, Only friends you keep are those you pay. Always on the ready for the wack snack attack I carry sandwiches around in a straight edge style Jansport backpack. Got the gadget Q gave Bond, Destroy the mind, Make you jump in a pond, Go quack-quack, Flap your arms, Leave you confused but completely unharmed. Haha haha! Careful with that mic, weezy! Do you really think it's that easy? Do you really think it's true? They'll Listen but they can't hear you. Haha haha! Now look here, Both you and I know the past ten years have been rather intense, And I'm ashamed to admit that I have been fooled by the seductions of violence, People walking around with ugly auras, Sometimes I'm even tempted to see the advice of Dr. Laura... But I ignore her... And I take a deep breath and count to ten, Ain't gonna let it get under my skin, Take a deep breath and count to ten, Think of all the nice places that I've been. Like back when I was waging peace against the Visigoths, I was tutored in the ancient mystories by a wizened philosoph. Learned the polyrhythm of celestial time, And wait for the one to come and get it done and finish the rhyme. Haha! Careful with that mic, weezy! Do you really think it's that easy? Do you really think it's true? They'll listen but they can't hear you! Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm... Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm... Haha haha! Mmhmm mmhmm... Haha haha! |

Pan-amoebic algebra, breed bizarre bacteria, what to do, oh what to do
Africanized killer bees, alabastar dieties, milk from spoons, sip milk from spoons Within the ruins against the firth The salamander has given birth Only red horse rainbows can save us Let them run wild and asunder Call the royal guard to let the people in Flaming arrows by hundreds Pull the bog man from the peat, stand him up on both his feet He jigs and reels, he jigs and reels Infiltrating silver crabs, carry a most scented flag, to their front lines, to their front lines Within the ruins Against the firth The salamander has given birth Only red horse rainbows can save us Let them run wild and asunder Call the royal guard to let the people in Flaming arrows by hundreds And now the salamander Run to the tower and call up the magus If he has caused this, we'll tear out his pages Throw 'im in shackles And remove his hands |

One unworthy worker's version on the verge of vernacular
Enter a sour house to do battle with spectacular draculas Lick tall walls to find them all sweeter than a cane Pour the quick elixir in your wounds to ease the pain Oh Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Medicine of modern miracles, voodoo to those out of focus Experts explain experience -- "Hocus pocus, hocus pocus!" Mouthfuls down in a floating locus, most of us deny Medicine of modern miracles, who knew circles with no foci? Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Trapped in sap, chambered in a tree Shadow of a giant across the centuries Bits of shattered glass scattered on the shore Break the genie bottle and open up the door Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz Ooo, plum been running, buck a doz Ooo, smoke banshee's honey bee sting buzz |

Who's the man who stole fire for the people?
Who causes trembling in the bones of evil? Who carved a mountain into a cathedral? I am immortal Half-blind and spitting straight into the wind Down, down Trying to drag me down It's all right I go to dreaming I said it's all right I, liquefying (Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years) The blood of lions (Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years) I ain't dying (Dog years) I am immortal Who rides the solar cycle with no hands ma? Who found the Ark inside Texarkana? Who asks the questions that have no answers? Half-blind and spitting straight into the wind Down, down Trying to drag me down Down Down (Dog years, dog years, dog years) (Dog years, dog years, dog years) I am immortal I am immortal I am immortal In dog years ... Blood of lions (Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years) I, liquefying (Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years) I ain't dying (Dog years) I am immortal |

If knee-deep in cat nip
At the old icebox I recommend you whistle And give the box three knocks Should you be so lucky To hear whisperin' It is an invitation For you to leap in May you go marching in three measure time Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines Swing from the rafters Shouting those songs Gone unsung for far too long If boxing your shadow At the wall full of moss And antlers approach you Then I am at a loss May you go marching in three measure time Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines Swing from the rafters Shouting those songs Gone unsung for far too long Drink to the dead all you still alive We shall join them in good time Should you go crossin' that silvery brook It's best to leap before you look Drink to the dead all you still alive We shall join them in good time Should you go crossin' that silvery brook It's best to leap before you look If surrounded by toadstools At the old green glen I'm afraid there is little That I can recommend Save all of your courage And sincere prayer And where you go-a treadin' Take the utmost care So let us Drink to the dead all you still alive We shall join them in good time Should you go crossin' that silvery brook It's best to leap before you look Drink to the dead all you still alive We shall join them in good time Should you go crossin' that silvery brook It's best to leap before you look |
