Aesop Rock — Night Light

[Intro] Day turns night, day turns night Day turns night, day turns night Day turns night, day turns night Day turns night, day turns night Night Light, sucka!!! [Verse 1] Put one up for shackle me not clean logic procreation I did invent the wheel, in a previous generation While the triple sixers' lassos keep angels roped in the basement I locate modern halos and pass 'em out to the cavemen Y'all catch a 30-second flash frame Dirty cooperative med platoon Bloom, head-trip split fantastic! Fathom the splicing of major-league low-life With anti-hero earthworm mentality – Godzilla! I pace my game for zero-hour completion See, a cretin's still a cretin, even speakin' altered moniker American nightmare lost in the monitor I'll hold the door open, so you can stagger through Then send berserker-bred Jukies in after you It's Gutter, and I spell it with the 'G' I stole from "Get the fuck up!" Noise crutch stolen wretched refuse of my teeming dumb luck Still I promise: temperance towards breed still bleeding Amish See, the freaks sucked out the wattage While three bears invade the cottage And I can't sleep now! Yeah, the police'll laugh You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash You won't be laughing when you're hosted By the ghost of Christmas past You won't be laughing when your blow-up doll's got a headache and won't give up the ass I'ma lay my kicks to rest when I'm impressed So I staple-gun 'em to my feet This origami dream is beautiful: pull the tail, watch the wings flap But you really can't do a thing with that [Hook] All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Swallow up the pieces, spit 'em at your species Beached in a city of lost barnacles and leeches Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' (Day turns night) Night Light, Day Light, Night Light, Day Light Night Light, Day Light, Night Light, Day Light Night Light, Day Light, Night Light, Day Light Night Light, sucka!!! [Verse 2] I'm pretty sure I got a pulse Plus we Shimmy cross the centerfold, and our night light engulfed Just let me keep the crumbs (Please!) With seven deadly stains, adhere the blame to crystal conscience The result's a dead-beat tryin' to make a dollar off a bomb threat Okay, link me to activism chain, activate wild-style Pluto orbit Set a course, then push the button I swallow spores born by the laws Of a morbid glutton– Alley gospel I can spot a duck battalion by the Charlie Chaplin waddle (gone) Zig-zag and zig 'em again Before the pig can pull a badge out for the lash out Another thick installment of one night in Gotham Like, "Houston, we have a problem: they're buffing the trains the same day the graffiti writers bomb 'em!" Who split holiday freaks on box-cut cinema high road bellow? Head gripped, watch red bricks turn yellow! I'm tryin' to meet the wizard, but a tailgating tin-man holding a oil can won't let a hermit crab break in his new shell-toes Life's not a bitch: life is a beyotch Who keeps the villagers circling the marketplace Out searching for the g-spot Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests Or maybe you're just an asshole – maybe I'm just an asshole! Kiss the speaker wire (*kiss*) Sammy Swashbuckler pagan threshhold Stomach full of diner food, wingspan cast black upon views Here to help release the rabid hounds or pick apart your mood I got this friend of polar nature, and it's all peace You and I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast Metal Captain, this cat is askin' if I've seen his bit of lost passion I told him: "Yeah," and gave him one last look and smashed him [Hook] All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Swallow up the pieces, spit 'em at your species Beached in a city of lost barnacles and leeches Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light, Day Light, Night Light, Day Light Night Light, Day Light, Night Light, Day Light Night Light, Day Light, Night Light, Day Light Night Light, sucka!!! [Outro] Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Night Light got me when the daylight went to evenin' Day turns night, day turns night, day turns night Day turns night, day turns night, day turns night
