Busdriver, Open Mike Eagle - When the Tooth-lined Horizon Blinks lyrics

All that we wanted were laws to defy
You can keep these streets
Me, I'll take these skies
But all our beliefs turned out to be lies
So, blink me, blink me away from here
All that we wanted were laws to defy
You can keep these streets
Me, I'll take these skies
But all our beliefs turned out to be lies
So, blink me, blink me away from here
(Tell 'em) blink, blink, blink, blink
Blink me, blink me away from here (Uh, huh)
Blink, blink, blink, blink
Blink me, blink me away from here

Sipping lukewarm water outta open grenades
Rocking a fresh Sam Kinison coat and beret
High school pep rally yelling
Vote for Bernade
Drowning my vocals in that broken delay
(yeah) let's celebrate solitude
Grand prize gold plated ‘lectronic pocket
So cool when I swim all the Manatees die
I learned my cool tricks from
Nick off of Family Ties and so I'm leanin'
My crucifix earring gleaming
There's cotton 'round the frame
Dream sequence
I talk real low like a genius (left alone)
Yeah, so don't walk this direction
House party playing Twister on
A autism spectrum dark, poor, and lazy
Till I dye my eyebrows like Martin Scorsese
And all of a sudden y'all
Respect my art form, crazy
Huh, who'd a thunk it?
Started a new food service called
"Chicken and the Crumpets"
Saw ya moms and guitars sitting
Licking on the trumpets (oh)
Cause your mother's disgusting

All that we wanted were laws to defy
You can keep these streets
Me, I'll take these skies
But all our beliefs turned out to be lies
So, blink me, blink me away from here
(What, what? Let's go) all that we wanted
Were laws to defy
You can keep these streets (Uh, huh)
Me, I'll take these skies
But all our beliefs turned out to be lies
So, blink me, blink me away from here
(Tell 'em) blink, blink, blink, blink
Blink me, blink me away from here (Tell 'em)
Blink, blink, blink, blink
Blink me, blink me away from here (Ch'eah)

Feeling so inadequate on a
Stretch of Crescent heights
Those aren't stars above me man
Those are check your-engine lights
And all of my fondest memories
Compressed to precious megabytes
So I'm mad doin' Christ tabs
As I address heads on pikes
Everybody's been sentenced to death
In the computer lounge
My lady’s got serial numbers scrawled
On her pubic mound
Dance crowds wearing death shrouds roaming
In this music town
But other pollutants dissipate
When I'm zonin'
My nigga, it all makes sense when I'm zonin'
(left alone)
And all my time is spent treating
Home studios like panic rooms
So I wear my colorful pantaloons that
Turns into a pay day
Now I vaycay in the Cameroons
I grew flowers in the sand and doin' to what
So on my face the camera zooms
But when the cloud of antimatter bloom
Was from a wasted afternoon those
Florists become fascist goons (What?)
Employers become fascist goons
Ch'eah, ya get me? (Now I do)
Treatin' my niggas like the rashest coons
Handed this ration for plastic spoons
Come on

Blink me, blink me away from here
Blink me, blink me away from here
I mean sometimes, I need
I really just wanna disappear
All that we wanted were laws to defy
You can keep these streets
Me, I'll take these skies
But all our beliefs turned out to be lies
So, blink me, blink me away from here
(What? What? Let's go) all that we wanted
Were laws to defy you can keep these streets
Me, I'll take these skies
But all our beliefs turned out to be lies
So, blink me, blink me away from here
(Tell 'em)
Blink, blink, blink, blink (Tell 'em)
Blink, blink, blink, blink
