Aesop Rock - Sleeper Car lyrics

Bamboo shoots, Buddhas and removed shoes
Pugilism brewing over whose tuk tuk's whose
Moving through the super-moon with goonies
Off a distant block
And fugitives from Dusit Zoo in
Pleasant moods until they're not
Present mood a startling departure
From the temple rules
Part of it's the temperature
Part of it's the tentacles
AQI alarming, surgical masks marching
The durian got him gagging
The traffic is anarchy, um
Siam spy cam, try him in fire
I'm marigolds and Muay Thai into
The eye of the tiger
I almost died on a scooter
I almost died on a boat
I figure fuck it, baby
Come as you are and die as you go
North bound, Lopburi, where
It's humans: zero, monkeys: one
Humans fear the monkeys won
Get your mirrored sunnies, run
Later watched a billion bats exploding
Out a mountain cave
Climbed a couple hundred feet to stare
Into the mouth and change
Descended a little different
Every atom individually cleansed
And repositioned
That's one unconventional exorcism
For the kiddo
Hearts on his pillow, bars on the window
Bar band send it from John Denver to G-n-R
Midnight playing sardines to the sleeper car
13 hours, couldn't sleep at all
Even eating weed it's hard to catch a Z
Over all the sneeze and cough, jeez

I might never make it out
If I ever make it out send me back in
Got lost got found
Got a feeling I should lose it all again

OK, heaven is a humid room
It emulate a human womb
Everyday we celebrate a water
Birth in noodle soup
And cruise around as ronin trying
To expedite a slow death
Playing chicken with a family of
5 on the same moped
Golden lotus that show off a pretty pantone
And grow in river water that'll
Melt your fucking hand off, damn
It's funny 'cause I fake a smile too
People thinking you're ok until you
Take 'em to the root
Imma take 'em to the root
Through insatiable depravity and
Layers of abuse down to radiate the truth
Ok, my homie said "I just
Got blessed by a monk"
I said "I got no frame of reference
God is dead where I'm from"
Still I been doing what I can
To get these devils expunged
Lately it's laying sugarcane across
An elephant's tongue
I'm wading out into the mud to
Scrub her belly and trunk
Brushing that yellow off her tusks
Shit is better than drugs
It feels strange, hurdling emaciated strays
Even stranger days later when
I'm no longer phased
Locals see a space garbage that
Fell from the interstellar
Trying to blend in with the smell of peppers
Sweat and citronella - ella
Sore thumb in the hum of the helter-skelter
Rebels huffing through the temple run
Like Zelda's in the cellar
Every LD call an awful omen
Excuse me while I walk into the ocean, like

I might never make it out
If I ever make it out send me back in
Got lost got found
Got a feeling I should lose it all again
