Aesop Rock - Hold the Cup lyrics

And the saints come marching in
Serpentine regime ordered by response sort
Of fell this population
Caboose humming no fence me in
A van with common patrons
The parody plastered every red brick in site
Where had to keep his plights from ticking
I'm slipping my key and whim dim
By dirty tap water and that
Roach on my ceiling circling fins
Round a bed of pushpins
Let's connect the thrill of volume
To a flat earth
Jaywalking a hook the past just passed
The mere dragon bandwagon passengers
I'm sorry, we've never met
My name is driftwood
Thanks friend, good looking
I'll never see you again
Feeding frenzy, catfish stomach, empty oceans
Spangled in hooks dangled by anglers off


The plank of burning books
And if you're, not gonna eat that
Kill joy inherited by
Spirit's lacking harnesses
Merchant, Goliath dipped in slipshod
Posture conceived evening
So I feed idea turn sun dial to
Bastards son adopt the reroute dreaming
Oh I'll ride the plain bow in
Flare gully yellow rain coat
Heard a harp but sunny ways my
Lifeline searching for the same note
Oh please
I know butterfly wings ain't fit to auction
Dig my tossing sturdy walking head hung
Skylark litigants strung out like
Cat's cradle participants
I am the trying diaries of a
Low-life siphon through that feign
Anti-diligence movement
Here the hunger habitat
Working class trash raped where
Racist hit their high
I spy a toddler on the corner
With her bubbles and her dipstick
I witness the fusion of her
Breath and her amusement
And it killed me and it stabbed me
And it cut me clear open
The notion that this child timid
In her sins embraced pleasure
Within a token of a moment
Restless arrested but not a twerp
Strip the vulnerable disclosure
So close yet so much closer
I'll take the hint but still
She's never known cold
Call me in twenty when those
Bubbles explode it's like that

If you'd have only held the
Cup while I poured

Back to back to back to
Stacking a brick match
With the fact that I've sipped
The dripping sap tap
Casually out the limbs of
Captivated blends back
Tracking the patterns that trim
Friends to thinning savages
Take one down, pass it round among us
Liquor tip a drink, drink, drunk, drunk
And drunkest
But you quest tore your floorboards
And the carpet turned marbles
Naw the carpet turned charcoals
Amidst skeletons of warlords
Snake charmer, hate farmer
Gave you the rations
With an eyedropper of poison passions
Hoist above the masses
And interrupts homeostasis seeming
Flow scapes
Like asymmetric snow flake visit's and
With her symmetry blizzards i'm sleepy
One wing more and I promise to pay homage
To those who stand truly deserving
And the list ain't long
Sink or swim, gravel or ascension
Even birds of iron combines float
If you let them
They'll be dodging more than cradles
When the bough breaks
Note the eviction slip clipped to your
Little visions into cloud shapes
Oh my left hand is a brick layer
My right hand is a plow face
We build and destroy in response to
Every sound the crowd makes
Sling blades sprayed it with
Apathy magic balance
On the palette of the almighty for
Painting the first half of me
Honor find it with monster
Mashing in text casually
On the palette of the almighty
To paint the second fraction
I'm collapsed under the relic
Rainbow with seven separate
Succulent aqua marines hide the
Imbibed sweetest elixir
Star heckler elitists start gawking
At yet another
Real conceived green fetus beating
Parallel sterile fixture
Urgent, the serge is like venom
And over kill, kill, kill, kill
The over spilled theory's all faucet
For real, how many leaves your clover
Got? Mine's got eight
Three for normalcy one for luck four more
So you'll spot it from space
