[Aesop Rock - Hot Dogs lyrics]
(We're so excited
We don't know what to do because we're
About to re-enter the level above human)
(I couldn't have had a better
Life than I've had
These 21 years and if it was good here
I know it's gonna be twice as
Good when we get up there)
(This isn't a troubling circumstance
Don't take it as that it's just a gateway
Just a doorway)
(What we're doing is we're going
Home we're going home to
Those individuals who sent us here
To do this task
And this is the happiest and
Joyous thing that you can)
Alright raised on dirty hot dog
Water and popcorn butter
EPMD tellin' me every popstar a sucker
Don't let him smell the potstickers
He'll stick around for supper
He'll stick around for cheesecake
Then three days, then the summer
Where spiders eat their mothers
Where rodents eat their young
I'm not here to make sense
Where there is none, that's dumb
My attitude is ghastly
Any gallantry been going gone
I think I'm probably a lot
Like dating Mola Ram, i should work on that
The geezer not a leader, I'm a loner
Lover, believer, upholder of the under
Just not a people person
Please forgive me if I'm flustered
I'll save a thousand whales before
Your grit's are even buttered
My name is Aesop Rock
I've been a mess for my entire life
All I know is fight or flight
What the fuck's a silent night?
Who the fuck are you to tell me
Who the fuck you even are
This is more than band-aids
Over it'sy-bit'sy bleeding hearts
This is GNR announcing Jesus
Christ on lead guitar
Finding Heather Hunter still inside
Your college VCR mirror mirror on the wall
I feel like a fucking dog
Something this depraved is not a
Product of a loving God
Periwinkle Pegasus through rat-infested
LEGO bricks hug his mother briefly
Then we're off to see the exorcist
I will not be checking messages
Why, should I be?
Special is as special does
You aren't special just because
Yes, your mother said you was
That's pretty much what mothers does
Someday I might find the pluck to
Roam the Earth with zero strings
Cut the tether float this feather
Over eastern seaboard winds forever
Like sea-born kings invested in the
The froth and fog
They'll talk of his adventuring and call
Him things like "salty dog"
He freed like a bajillion prisoners
From some secret haunted vault
Always had a L to puff
Never yelled "Get off my lawn!"
Full disclosure I don't even have a lawn
If I did I'd probably grow the
Grass until the house was gone
Kick it ‘til the town forget the
Address or the house at all
This is how performance art
Exacerbates an albatross
I should maybe shake some hands
I should turn the music down
Have some people over without askin'
Them to move a couch
But, since you're here I've got this
Awful futon I could do without
Should take like two seconds
We don't know what to do because we're
About to re-enter the level above human)
(I couldn't have had a better
Life than I've had
These 21 years and if it was good here
I know it's gonna be twice as
Good when we get up there)
(This isn't a troubling circumstance
Don't take it as that it's just a gateway
Just a doorway)

Home we're going home to
