Non-Prophets - Spaceman lyrics
[Non-Prophets - Spaceman lyrics]
Breaker, breaker 1 9
I'm in outer space with a microphone
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now
In a nightgown and tin foil hat
Journey in a world we destroyed and attacked
Mommy wants you to give
Her lubricant oil back
The dirt farm hands kick
Dust skinned soiled black
Radical packs of wolves wrapped in
Wool shackled in padded rooms
And actin' like they're back in a womb
Can't we all just get along
Stick and beat the
Shit out of each other with it? Ha
Ride the rhythm like the women
Who ain't even trying
To win if the prize is a ribbon
These are the times that we live in when
Opportunity knocks only to be
Notified of eviction
I called the public housing
Authority and let them
Know there's a new sheriff in town
Now they're calling me the space man
I wasn't scared to die until the
Government cut my air supply
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now
A pipe bomb up my sleeve
A secret hand shake like
You wouldn't believe
Now peep the landscape and take a
Good look at the trees
It gets pretty lonesome around these parts so
Bring a good book to read
Single celled amoebas evolved
Into simpletons who
Started singing "Jingle Bells" for Jesus
Not to knock the teaching Jesus brings
Cause the Bible's a good read
Like Steven King's "Needful Things"
So many wasted nights cuddling
With shadow people who
Couldn't wait to be replaced by the light
Take your life as a joke, hey Phife
Gravity don't float
Tell Natalie it's over
Cause I found a new cold shoulder to die on
She signs on and finds me within
One click of an icon
My god, has it come to this?
I'm the space man
(and you're a filthy fucking bitch)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now
White lies don't count like my vote
A type of guest without a message to promote
When Asian women get drunk they float i
Thought they flew but they don't
What the hell do I know beyond
The harmful contents of coke?
Take a sip and think destructive
My opponent wants to fuck to
Live beyond the moment
She's on a pill called "Easy Killer" there
She goes again in my sleepy slippers
Sneaky ain't she? I know her Steve
She reps resent with no regret
Where the dreamcatchers grow on trees
I leave to collect all my thoughts
When they say they'll cover me it
Just means they'll forget their wallets
I was built on a tilt tinted green on a scale
Of 1 - 10 you're a
Double digital guilt machine
Silk screened and pegged leg to boot
Pirated radio DJ with a
Parrot that acts aloof
Your Annie Difranco shaped hat's a
Noose my blind side
Is hooked up to ideas with some carrot juice
Ain't no such thing as rap music i'm
The spaceman, get used to it, stupid
Up, wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now
Wanna act (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna flow (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna think (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna see (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna hear (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna feel (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna fly (just like me now, like me now)
But they can't bust like this
I'm in outer space with a microphone
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up) , wipe me down (down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now
