lyrics

goodbye horses
flying over you was a definite pleasure
held it together through pressure
only to explode on impact
faced that fact straight past the syntax
waited on the other side for a slow ride
that would never arrive
drawer full of watery knives
clean cutaway runaway
think Warren Beatty meets Faye Dunaway
bending all rationale pretending
this pairing isn't headed for an abrupt ending
anything shining so bright
and burning so fast
probably wasn't built to last
vast expansion taken to task
so I smile and cry behind the mask
stoic in public and forced to love it
so I don't shatter this heart of glass

a stranger, famous danger
knows language and works the angles
a stranger, famous danger
knows language and works the angles

am i blind from Darktime Sunshine?
one toke over the line i define?
all mine
you have to be easy
so much stress already believe me
certified walking testament
wise intelligent style
existentialist with predestination for emancipation
on the other side peace of mind is waiting
everyone's allowed to view my pursuance
take mental notes and dig on the nuance
bear witness as they call me fronting
all feeding me a steady diet of nothing
all spending most of their lives
living in paradise
like parasites
wallow in the mire of a temporary victory
no sympathy for a lack of validity

a stranger, famous danger
knows language and works the angles
a stranger, famous danger
knows language and works the angles

straw man fallacy
no balancing acts
they packed up and made tracks
i wax poetic
plus stay embedded in the war outside
here to provide you play by play day by day
at the same time i find my way
wandering star on occasion
well versed in objective observation
hitting all angles
Gregorian technician
watching is the mission by definition
digging these patterns
black Max Cohen
plan of attack that my enemies lack
checkers and chess would be the best comparison
Nellyville vs. KRS-One
everyday it's the very same story
staring at the finger
missing that heavenly glory
exploratory insight outside of you
and anyone's opposing view
i present View to a Kill
Charlie Alpha Tango 2 Delta will be
the lone survivor
the omega analyzer
with lifetimes to decipher
cracking the code
label the node
then switch to disconnect mode

a stranger, famous danger
knows language and works the angles
a stranger, famous danger
knows language and works the angles
