Surface Tension

I was just lounging
 Staring at the clock, right?
 I could feel the world turn
 Burn when it got right
 Something came over me
 Through me, splattered on a loose sleeve
 Profusely, the youth need
 To follow where the truth leads
 I've walked the wild side with no read
 With demons pitching pills for dirt cheap
 Saying, "I've got what you need."
 Low down dirty sinful
 Heavy bankroll
 Worked every angle
 Converse with angels
 They say these are the end days
 A time of retribution
 We point to the sky
 And chart the planet's movements
 But can't measure the cause and effect of thoughts
 And would rather stargaze the night away
 And play connect the dots
 Or watch Asher Roth child on the Magnavox
 And all your favorite rappers throwing up the rock
 I'm at a loss
 It's not a diss it's more
 Dismissive of big business
 Not in my interest
 The night I was born
 The Moon turned to fire red
 My poor mother cried, "the Gypsy was right"
 And she fell down, right down baby
 Yep we're mislead
 We don't get a bad genre for walking the cliff's edge
 Either wind up dead or sick in the head
 Get your mind right
 Infinite potential but the physical is finite
 I'll stick a needle in the all seeing eye
 Release the most high, that you beasts demonize
 We all fall and rise
 Alter our lives
 And tear down the walls of your large enterprise
 My mind's eye's opening wide
 Catch a fork-tongued demon by the tail
 But all joking aside
 I do not make deals with devils
 Soul rebel
 The Moon's a fiery red
 It's raining rose petals
 And everything's dreamlike
 Everything's changing
 The fisher of souls will pull a shark out the main stream
 I'm maintaining
 I was cool and now I'm staring at the clock and got lost in a daydream
 (uh huh) x 3
 The night I was born
 The Moon turned to fire red
 My poor mother cried, "the Gypsy was right"
 And she fell down, right down baby
 In the belly of the beast
 Where police on a centipede
 Creep in the street
 Then they reach for their piece and squeeze
 And then the enemy is gonna sleep
 When they see an enemy's in the deep
 I'm in need of release
 When the evil feeds on the meek
 Gotta keep both feet on the ground
 Speak through the beats that pound
 Coveting a district, city, and town
 Hold me down
 If you don't hold me down
 Put these devils in a hole in the ground
 Unholy ground
 Take a look around
 Tell me what the world needs now
 I was just lounging, I could feel a turn
 I could feel it breathing deep
 Universal man, with the world in the palm of your hands
 Now's no time to sleep
 (wake up)
