Getting down to the core

Tip of the iceberg
Is there so much more?

Down to the core

Down at the core
Explore for more
Explorin’ in
Explorin’ in for more
At the core

Well, well, well

Something sounds
A little queer
If the / y(our) contra-beat

LYRICS
Busting out
Summertime rhyme
Finding out
’bout sweat and grime
Ohhhh it’s time
for the summertime rhyme

Feels just right
For music’s insight

bookmark_borderThe Last Thing She Said

LYRICS
What do you mean “we don’t have much time”?
The last thing she said to me is
“We don’t have much time”
When it comes to getting the message out
Don’t know how loud I can shout!
Wipe the grime from my voice
“We don’t have much time!”
But we’ve got choice
Adapt or be inept
In an adapt
In and adapt
Fast track
Be adapted to embedded?
Don’t let me… down
Don’t let me 6 feet down
You got me
Stymied
Stymie me’d

bookmark_borderUm… Momentum

LYRICS
Is it a matter of splatter
If the mass of ass
Is fatter?
Um
Momentum
I see velocity
Is not parity
When you factor in
My mass
Be it fact of fiction
God! More friction
I’m sliding into you
Are you sliding into me, too
Um, momentum
Got me some
Be it less rare
If I offer to share?
Do you care form some

… the language of baggage

LYRICS
Going alone!
(Are you going alone?)
Into the great uncharted known
… the great charted unknown
Further out than any soul
Ventured to stroll
[Breathing noises]
Breathe out
Breathe in
Far up memory lane
Kind-of hard to explain
If you’ve never been
Again
Is a mere possibility
If you didn’t get to see

Won’t miss the enclave, Babe

LYRICS
Monkey’s messing with the mission
Would have rather gone fishing
When you send apes into space
Fools with the fate of the race
Monkey’s messing with the mission
Took the third orbiter ’round the sun
On the run to becoming undone
Leavin’ us prayin’ and wishin’
Monkeys on a mission
Monkey’s messing with the mission

LYRICS
Tell me what?
This may smell alright to you
But, as for me… there’s a phew
I’m not suggesting it’s emitting from you
Or there’s a possibility that there’s anything you can do
But for me, there’s a phew
For me… P.U.
To sit downwind
And think what that wind’s been through
And to think where that wind might have been
A phew comes wafting through
It’s a nasty phew

LYRICS
Is time slipping by
Slipping by
By the minute
Give a hint?
Is time slipping by
Slipping bye
Bye-bye
Ask me why
Is our hour
Almost over
To discover
Our hour
Turns to day, today
By the way, our hour
From our todays
Found ways
To slip away
To days today to years
So I ask why
Is time slipping by
Slipping bye-bye
I meant
Give a hint?
