Aesop Rock - The Next Best Thing lyrics

You can read along with me in your book
You will know it is time to turn the page
When you hear the chimes ring like this
Let's begin now

Yeah watch
(It's) The world's greatest thing ever thung
(It's) The saccharin that the
Sit on your tongue
Fill up his clip-on tie repellent
Squeegee to semi-developed
While you were sleepin' he's building
Rome in his cellar i'm too alive right now
The view to which you subscribe
Find the key to parry blockage
Of the cubicle kind
I had a plate of half cooked
Matters looking at me stupid
Fed 'em to the hogs that
Waddle between the bookends look, clear!
All I gotta do is:


Simply make the greatest masterpiece ever
Conceived by human students
Once I am convinced that the
Kismet inside the labor
Is already incredible I might as
Well ink the paper hell yes!
Easy-peasy, right?
Sure hey whatever makes the hazel glaze well
I sink teeth deep in to the chart
With a fang but for a hark
'cuz even silly pink bunnies look
Scary in the dark!
Bang on pots and pans, ring alarm swiftly
Cue to bugle turbulent
Who salute the worker ant?
Duke up to the firmament
Overthrow the vapors
With a fail-safe method composed
By your nosy neighbors like this:

Smack dab in the middle of his palms
Had a new day victory, ready to evolve
Who will celebrate and sleep on the couch
To later wake up in the second
Best seat in the house

(It's) The world's greatest thing ever thung
Except the last digit, pink in your lung
I'm on a genius plan
Author the marvel of engineering to rival the
Great pyramids and cheese in a can
He's in a band called "Birds" in
A work of assertive poplars
With a root down deeper than
The pockets on his doctors
So selfishly melt through the piss of Hades
As to never note the critics
Shake the hands or kiss the babies
So the ratings through the chapel roof
And snaggle-tooth is focused outside of the
Jurisdiction of failure among the motives
Just when the victory is comfortably assumed
You will be woken by the creaky
Hinge of door number two door number two
It's sorta like a silhouetted
Whore in plain view
When your homework is due
Rhinestone cowboy, nursing his little phenom
As an even newer idea poke
It's head out for recon
Oh what a weird distraction
All of a sudden you're
Lugging separate chapters
Original mission is bliss and all
But this admittedly is somewhat attractive
Even if a little backwards

Smack dab in the middle of his palms
Had a new day victory, ready to evolve
Who will celebrate and sleep on the couch
To later wake up in the second
Best seat in the house

(It's) The world's greatest thing ever thung
On second thought, check back when I'm done
Just for fun, I know
I saw them troubleshooting
And you were so focused
Cloaked over the mulish buoyancy
In the the dosage so roguish
Gloating over the merit and majesty in the
Moment you chose to own wholeness
So bogus the coach is doubting his outing
Now the same cellar is
Littered with Rome's homeless bang
Style of that new sensation seems jealous
When it notices the stake's location
Brains for a second starts
Hollerin' ultimatums like
"Your last chicken trippin' on some"
Save it, pick a favorite
New car smell, walk like a star
Dick in the deterrent while my
Current's at the bar
The contradicts every jewel I drop, my
Apologies but what did y'all expect
School sucks
Put a bow on this one, rinse and repeat it
So tomorrow I'll actually be
My zenith achievement
To my heart-of-gold medics with
Aesthetics on a string
You will forever be employed by
The next best thing

Smack dab in the middle of his palms
Had a new day victory, ready to evolve
Who will celebrate and sleep on the couch
To later wake up in the second
Best seat in the house
