Sage Francis - Lie Detector Test lyrics
[Sage Francis - Lie Detector Test lyrics]
Got a caveman banging on my back door
Got a hang man hanging on my front lawn
Got an old maid wasting away
In the living room
Kids in the kitchen with their
Mouths full of silver spoons
Got a paper full of yellow journalism
A restaurant waiter selling me
Words of wisdom
The small town crier is chilling
With the village idiots
The big city slickers are
Still busy building pyramids
Got a diploma but no wall to hang it
Tags on the bathroom stall to make me famous
A job description that don't fit the bill
A fatal femme fatale dressed to kill
Get me out of this, lie detector test
My pupils inhale and exhale
My breath is a microphone check: 1, 2
What is this?
(I wanna give a big special shout
Out to all the real
People out there, keeping it real
Because reality is worth maintaining
You know what I'm saying? keep it up)
In a world where these
Girl's got retro tattoos
And all I've got is a
Gut and Velcro black shoes
And elbows that move in a
Way that makes space
I'm looking at you (stay awake, stay awake)
Natural face affected by the chemical leaks
Grammatical mistakes in every
Sentence I speak it doesn't matter
I make enough sense to seem deep
Now look at me (go to sleep, go to sleep)
(You know I wanna give a shout
Out to my boy Reanimator
Keeping it misanthropic and shit my man Chris
Doing his damn thing give a
Shout-out to my mic
For keeping me company in this dark ass room
And to my girl killing all the
Ants in the kitchen peace baby)
I'm a poor man's version of a rich man
I've got a small van swerving
Through a big land
I've got a road map that's looking
A lot like a math test
A blocked phone number and
A bunk home address
I've got a way out but I
Ain't trying to use it
Cause I've got some ins and I'm
A bet all my winnings
If it hurts me more than it hurts you
Then I won't hurt you
I've got more sense than virtue
I've got a curfew, it's 12 o'clock
After that I'll start trembling if
I get fed hip-hop
Why? Cause I'm a G to the r-e-m-l-i-n
If I wasn't then why would I say I am?
Get me out of this, lie detector test
My pupils inhale and exhale
My breath is a microphone check: 1, 2
What is this?
Got a hang man hanging on my front lawn
Got an old maid wasting away
In the living room
Kids in the kitchen with their
Mouths full of silver spoons
Got a paper full of yellow journalism
