Lyrics:
We all wanted something new
to wake to find the dream came true
but when it did to our surprise
the dream was just to shut our eyes
You’re clickin’ on these tickets in the tickin’ of the seconds
and you’re flickin’ at your bic and then you’re breathing in the resin
an obsession with the glitches switch an addict into access
as you’re passin’ that it’s madness with the taxes after taxes
back to back, a double header, back to facts a troubled debtor
know you better be enjoying it, could’ve payed the rent or
get a better grip. You’re slippin. Light the bic and now you’re hittin’
that last click to get the ticket, in the red but just forget it because
now, this is all I need
this is all I need I need this now
This is all I need.
This is all I need I need this now
this is all I need.
this is all I nee I need this now
AND THEN YOU!
Feel a little flutter as you’re seein’ all the other
color coming in the corridor a coordinated carnival
uncovered in this carousal converging in your conscious
something’s in your pocket but I’m guessing that you dropped it
sun is going down and the lights are coming out
lights are all around, Lights are in the crowd.
The light inside ignighting as you’re sparking up a spliff
If you don’t believe in Unicorns, then how’d you see em kiss
boy got eyes for the other side,
girls gone wild in the black and white,
boys just fine till the morning light,
girls just slide ‘cuz it’s paradise.
with the touchin’ and the rubbin’ and the stompin’ and the clappin’
bought a drink but didn’t down it ‘cuz you gave into innaction
and you’re snapped into a passion lastin’ only for a fraction
of a second when you lit the second spliff that you were packing saying
now, this is all I need
this is all I need I need this now
This is all I need.
This is all I need I need this now
this is all I need.
this is all I nee I need this now
We all wanted something new
to wake to find the dream came true
but when it did to our surprise
the dream was just to shut our eyes
You’re walking through the city and you’re pickin’ up the pieces
and you better find a bed ‘cuz if you can’t well than you’re freezin’
and you open up your jacket for your only bowl you pack it
and you stop and you collapse, your mind is welling up with panic
thinking “holy fuck is this it? I could always duck and dip with
any stroke of luck and witness better times before I finish”
Finding focus in a sentence that explodes into a story
you could really use some money but you’ll make it to the morning saying
now, this is all I need
this is all I need I need this now
This is all I need.
This is all I need I need this now
this is all I need.
this is all I nee I need this now
because
All I ever wanted was to understand the lyrics
‘cuz they pulled me out of rivers when they sang about the miracles
and mirrored my emotions meaning way beyond empirical
promise that I hear it though. Everything is spherical.
Because of that you have it and it doesn’t stop at rappin’
because history is math and that’s a word and it can happen
into any passion project as you wrestle with your fate
you can get lost in your memories but you cannot escape!
Girls got eyes for the other side
boys gone wild in the black and white
Girls just fine till the morning light
boys just slide ‘cuz it’s paradise
as we look into the future I’m a teacher I’m a student
I’m a habit, I’m a nuisance and the news is I’mma do this
if you haven’t hit the sticks, you haven’t got a fix
on that magic so elusive that you’re trappin in your wrists
you’ll be walking up to strangers going in and out of danger
and you’ll get the middle finger, you’ll give the middle finger
maybe bangor has some flavor filtered through a faded view
turned the lemons into rhoto’s in an arizona stew
now they’re showing admiration everything you wanted
at the ending of the sentence you see dotted dotted dotted
now, this is all I need
this is all I need I need this now
This is all I need.
This is all I need I need this now
this is all I need.
this is all I nee I need this now
We all wanted something new
to wake to find the dream came true
but when it did to our surprise
the dream was just to shut our eyes
as we look into the future I’m a teacher I’m a student
I’m a habit, I’m a nuisance and the news is I’mma do this
if you haven’t hit the sticks, you haven’t got a fix
on that magic so elusive that you’re trappin in your wrists
with the touchin’ and the rubbin’ and the stompin’ and the clappin’
bought a drink but didn’t down it ‘cuz you gave into innaction
and you’re snapped into a passion lastin’ only for a fraction
of a second when you lit the second spliff that you were packing saying
