Water Tower - Aesop Rock[00:00:00]
Vita es morte es vita[00:00:00]
Life is death is life[00:00:04]
Found nothing but the feathers and the skull[00:00:12]
On the porch like a present with a bow[00:00:15]
Dinner's in a black earth gutted and uncoupled from the patchwork[00:00:17]
Buried by a seven year cherub in the backyard[00:00:20]
Epitaph and all[00:00:23]
Disciple o' the cycles and sciences of birth in a fertilized hyacinth[00:00:24]
Life in the vitamins invited up to cypresses[00:00:28]
A testament to moxie in the miracle of lifelessness[00:00:31]
It's tricky when you'd rather rot into the soil as a nutrient[00:00:34]
Than navigate this mortal coil in human skin dig[00:00:37]
The nuances of putrefying jelly[00:00:40]
Hit the levee when those feathers are a cancer in your besty[00:00:42]
And I pick a ginger gold that's fed by a drunken uncle[00:00:45]
One from a customer pumping that sumner blood work[00:00:47]
Remember them ascending settling any high scores[00:00:50]
Forty meters up with the heart of a high dive horse[00:00:53]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:00:57]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:00:59]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:01:02]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:01:05]
Impossible impossible impossible[00:01:08]
I told my ex in '97 I was falling on my weapon[00:01:23]
Ripped the phone up out the wall[00:01:25]
The po dragged me from my bedroom[00:01:27]
An embarrassing ordeal involving hospitals and questions[00:01:28]
And the kinda doctors who use words like cognitive and spectrum[00:01:31]
While explaining why you're selfish[00:01:34]
To romanticize our rules[00:01:35]
And watch unruly roots[00:01:36]
Pull you to lucifer[00:01:37]
By your shoes I mean it isn't perfect[00:01:38]
Don't misconstrue the purpose[00:01:41]
Any urge isn't discernible from[00:01:42]
Community service to the kiddo[00:01:43]
Plus you'd make a beautiful widow[00:01:46]
But that's an altruistic ticket to a room with no windows[00:01:47]
Hmm you'd think he would've learned back in the eighties[00:01:50]
When they pulled him out of class over concerns about his safety[00:01:53]
But he didn't it wasn't cause he doesn't get the message[00:01:56]
More he doesn't judge a man by how honorable his death is[00:01:58]
On a scale you made up anyway[00:02:01]
Half passed out to pasture[00:02:03]
Whether clapped your batteries in backwards[00:02:04]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:02:07]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:02:10]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:02:13]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:02:16]
Impossible impossible impossible[00:02:19]
I had a pet lizard he never got an obit[00:02:34]
Fed him crickets it was dead a f**king month before I noticed[00:02:36]
An older me would note that whether disposable goldfish[00:02:39]
Or theist we certainly become the earth as equals in a circle[00:02:42]
Meek until the spirit isn't willing[00:02:45]
While the flesh is still a staple of the labor forcing whistling[00:02:47]
It's roadkill evoking emotion his own totem don't[00:02:50]
That's a reality you evade or grow to own[00:02:53]
Social code broken a hierarchy to gasp at[00:02:56]
Black labs over wet dads on the admat[00:02:59]
Tabby of a parasite bats at the parish[00:03:01]
A civil war becoming of ungovernable atoms[00:03:04]
I'm born from the guts of stars and black tar pits[00:03:07]
Iron maiden denim paint the devil under grawlix[00:03:09]
Crawls out a clawed coffin a huff and puff[00:03:13]
Somewhere in between the dust and dust[00:03:15]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:03:18]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:03:21]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:03:24]
Paint no rules on the water tower[00:03:26]
Impossible impossible[00:03:30]
Impossible impossible[00:03:34]
