So you want to be a carpenter do you [00:00:00]

Well it takes more than a hammer boy [00:00:02]

You're gonna need blueprints and a will to build and [00:00:04]

Straighten your cap [00:00:05]

You look like you've been through a war [00:00:06]

Wipe that grin off your mug [00:00:08]

You got a sturdy frame [00:00:09]

Sluggish posture just won't cut it [00:00:10]

You're gonna need schooling [00:00:12]

And and take notes [00:00:12]

And god if I catch you yawning again[00:00:14]

You're gonna regret ever asking for my help [00:00:16]

And dammit you gotta hustle [00:00:17]

This is a slacker-free zone[00:00:18]

And where's my pencil go get your hard-hat [00:00:19]

Here's a nickel go get us a ruler[00:00:21]

And a saw and a drill and lots of graph paper [00:00:22]

I used to have a rope ladder[00:00:24]

But tattered were the rungs [00:00:25]

I strung it from the highest willow [00:00:27]

Trying to hug the sun [00:00:28]

The seventh level buckled[00:00:30]

And I tumbled from the summit [00:00:31]

Now I'm back to re-climb[00:00:33]

And this time light my cigarette from it [00:00:34]

My stitchin division to vision warfares numb[00:00:36]

Enough to soak suddenly in a bullet bath[00:00:38]

And skip stones in the morning as I [00:00:40]

Lie in color phantom tantrum explicable [00:00:42]

Sit and pull the petals off wild flower patches [00:00:45]

Magic happens [00:00:47]

Behold pity the lowlife parish [00:00:48]

Doom City barracks left remorse coursed[00:00:50]

On a horse-drawn carriage by the torch of Polaris[00:00:52]

To the Badlands where every bridge[00:00:54]

Collapse right where the crowd stands [00:00:55]

Where the witches are fireproof[00:00:57]

And every preacher's a madman [00:00:58]

Frigid be the appleseed demeanor towards the bay[00:01:00]

Where the landshark Parliament swims[00:01:03]

When they pause to polish they fins [00:01:04]

The better brains will preach the village[00:01:06]

Through the city square[00:01:07]

To the light heavy and middle-weight integrate [00:01:08]

Slept with sticks and stones in my pillowcase [00:01:09]

Oohmy bomb's light simulator[00:01:12]

Picks barnacles off the tugboat belly[00:01:13]

Left my spirit home in a shoebox in case I die [00:01:15]

Got a rugged smoke-green halo floating inches off the swamp [00:01:18]

Had that phase when the devil[00:01:20]

Tree contacts a sparkle in my eye [00:01:22]

Now step back from the reservoir[00:01:24]

And let the settlers drink [00:01:25]

Salvage all priorities and iron out all kinks [00:01:27]

My house ain't made of bricks[00:01:30]

And straw but never has it crumbled [00:01:31]

Cuz I stitched the brain's rigidity with symmetry [00:01:33]

Come visit me [00:01:35]

It's fascinating [00:01:36]

Now here's how its done [00:01:37]

I'm only gonna show you once [00:01:38]

So pay close attention [00:01:39]

Hear me now or hear me never [00:01:40]

Glue your little eyes to the diagram [00:01:42]

See the plywood the nails the glue [00:01:43]

You work every inch [00:01:45]

Your domain and you must treat it well [00:01:46]

Keep it clean or it'll swallow you whole [00:01:47]

Where's the T-square hand me the pliers [00:01:49]

Now dammit oh this will never do [00:01:51]

You have to want the castle [00:01:52]

Head Up shoulders back [00:01:54]

Be the materials [00:01:55]

Know your limits only to break your limits [00:01:56]

Are you listening [00:01:58]

God dammit boy pay attention [00:01:59]

Little bit more juice this time [00:02:01]

Try it again [00:02:03]

Yeah a little bit more elbow grease this time [00:02:03]

Try it again [00:02:06]

Concentrate a little more focus this time [00:02:06]

You can kick and scream[00:02:08]

And yell but damn I'm only tryin' to help [00:02:09]

Try it again You're not doing it right [00:02:12]

Here now yall watch [00:02:13]

Try it again Stop sulking [00:02:14]

I'm the example for real Watch [00:02:16]

Try it again I'm bout to make it easy[00:02:17]

For you yall just Watch [00:02:19]

You can kick and scream[00:02:20]

And yell but damn I'm only tryin' to help [00:02:22]

Stinging the hunt[00:02:24]

The hunt dispatched a pack of wild dog silhouettes [00:02:25]

All sulking by the skyline [00:02:26]

Focused with a bonus hunger pain [00:02:28]

My sincere addiction imbalance stems[00:02:30]

From a vintage grimace slap to the mug of[00:02:32]

Ancestral branch camped on the vessels [00:02:34]

Yes and I abide [00:02:36]

The laws of the hidden desert survived [00:02:36]

And every peasant presenteed it[00:02:39]

On the crescent less deprived [00:02:40]

With the exception of pleasant finale binges[00:02:42]

On the great endangered interests[00:02:43]

Of phantom brigades slaving to save that princess [00:02:45]

I double the negative [00:02:48]

To no avail no promised benefits [00:02:49]

Just delegates peddling pairs of negatives [00:02:52]

With magnified magnanimous appearance[00:02:54]

Sandy sinners in opinion shut [00:02:56]

Now what of the madness fragments Stagnant [00:02:58]

I oughta make a vision sing my twix[00:03:00]

Cling to your pigeon wings [00:03:01]

Vision militia indent benders [00:03:03]

We've flooded Hell's kitchen sink [00:03:04]

Walkin' eye civility simpleton citizen[00:03:06]

Mixers to kiss the sky in unison[00:03:08]

Sinister city-blistered corporate rule-igans [00:03:10]

All I really want's a nickel to feed my little pigs [00:03:12]

Big Dick three cheers to the product [00:03:14]

Consumer populace feed but never dreamed of the process[00:03:17]

When a slanted advantage point sort of makeshift[00:03:20]

Criminals date rape the hostage [00:03:22]

Dream away the blame pain yeah[00:03:24]

But it seeps through the cracks [00:03:26]

And drips from the ceiling and smells[00:03:27]

The rich scent of my tracks [00:03:28]

All I ever really wanted was a jungle [00:03:29]

And a jungle I got [00:03:32]

See it ain't the vision[00:03:33]

It's the plot that makes me stop [00:03:34]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:35]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:37]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:39]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:40]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:42]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:43]

Try it again I don't want to [00:03:44]

Try it one more time [00:03:46]

I'm not even interested anymore [00:03:52]

Try it one more time[00:03:54]
