I'm smoother than butter
Most people say so
Even your mother
I'll have another, garçon!
Yes another!
And this time make it a strong one.
Not enough of that, too much of this.
You fool!
Bow, now you can go.
My flow is better than yours
Alarm bells are singing
The tune
But you keep humming along
And to the stars it seems
Too far
To drive alone
Down the sunken narrow path
You go
It's wider than you know
Why though? Better you know.
Gonna live, gonna fight, gonna laugh, gonna cry
Gonna see, gonna feel the reasons why
Gonna sit, gonna sigh, gonna turn on the tide
Gonna hold my goodbyes until you let me down
Gonna step in the light, though I know I'm gonna die
Dusty old skeleton left bone dry
Gonna aim, gonna fire, gonna live on the wire
Ol' river boat will never know a let down
Why'd I believe you'd cast in your soul?
Light bulb, ready to glow
Tai Bo is better than blow
Hi Ho! Rattling bones
Fido, I'm getting the bowl
White ball, get in the hole
My vole is better than yours
Tah Ho, where did you go?
