Aesop Rock – Leisureforce lyrics

Postcards from the pink bath paint leisure
As a cloaked horse through a stained-glass Saint Peter
Hack faith-healer, cheat death to the very end
Cherry wooden nickels on his specs for the ferrymen
X, o, zodiac a pentagram expo
Pet cemetery in electric fresco
Abaddon threshold flesh-forged in the galley
With undead orcs pulling oars through the algae
Smash cut to a smoke-bombed quarantine
Guards like "all signs correlate with sorcery"
It's more a dormant cell of valor as awoken by the smell of sordid power
And defecting shortly after
Fist bump dry land, brackish, cat nap 15
Back to swiss-cheese the flagship, uh
Blue in the menacing grip of a day for which you're manifestly unfit

Final answer "not to be", "not to be" is right!
Next question - to build winged shoes or autophagy
Silk screen band tees, take apart a vcr, ringer off, canned peas
Cabin fever mi amor
Patiently adhering to the chandelier ta key-in-door
To usher in the understated anarchy of leisureforce
Led a purple tongue and ratty caballeros
Up over the black rainbow into the house of mirrors
To become a thousand zeroes
Echoing a twisted alchemy, freak flags, fluttering to circadian free jazz
Sleep apnea scratching "bring that beat back"
I doze off, clothes on, noise in the feedbag
Shhh... Om nom nom, blinds drawn
Compost thrown to the spine pile, bygones, mangy
Intimately spaced pylons on a plot of inhospitable terrain
Hi mom!

Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
No sleep, gold mine, front door circled, proceed,
Low light, 24 curfews,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Crows beak, cold night, unmoored virtue, proceed,
Snow-blind, 24 curfews

Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
No sleep, gold mine, front door circled, proceed,
Low light, 24 curfews,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Crows beak, cold night, unmoored virtue, proceed,
Snow-blind, 24 curfews

Raise up the bridge, lower the portcullis, rain forks into mutton
No abort button, heart pump assorted color sugar water
Poor lummox, unexplained ailments, and doesn't work well with others
Wet nose on the glass, garibaldi half cookie dough, lock jaw
Don 4 walls like a wooden coat, behold the rotting fruit of excommunication
A ruby tide insubordinate to lunar phases
That maneuver past the beaches to the bosom of the pavement
Now the bow drill smolder in a flooded bit of basement
Grace of misled teen who prefers his scenes with a little Wilhelm scream
The ambush predator edition, skill set of Will Tell Aim and speed over short distance
Part hatter-mad, part erratic habitat, dark matter harnessing his heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack

Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
No sleep, gold mine, front door circled, proceed,
Low light, 24 curfews,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Crows beak, cold night, unmoored virtue, proceed,

Snow-blind, 24 curfews
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
No sleep, gold mine, front door circled, proceed,
Low light, 24 curfews,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Midsummer bit crusher, mid winter bit shifter,
Crows beak, cold night, unmoored virtue, proceed,
Snow-blind, 24 curfews
