lyrics

secondhand smoke jumper
double bummer
another cruel summer for the homestar runner
momma looks down and spits on the ground anytime that topic's mentioned
the mad invention
mad scientist in training
monstrous melody needs unchaining
rampage style for the son of necessity
works effectively without the weaponry that some cats require
this is now a journey to build the legacy
a quest for fire
light a path leading straight to the empire
love it like it's soon to be a funeral pyre
any other path would be a waste of time
amongst suckers that constitute a waiting line
watch it intertwine into infinity
timidly marching into anonymity

using the stone that the builder refused
completed the fuse that could power the muse
artificial energy driven contraption
ready for action
the main attraction
lacing up the gloves on some Battling Maxo
no matter the outcome just act natural
frightening even when the screws need tightening
duck or get struck by smokestack lightning
shining like gold
the standard type
wipe it all down then create the crown from the first cut
simply 'cause it's the deepest
day's never finished so remain sleepless
in it to win it if only for a hot minute
skin it, strip it to the bone then spin it around
eagle-eye viewing proximity
lost in a search for a cure to the remedy

generation gap : beats v. blanks
arm both sides with bombs and tanks
let it all simmer
future gets dimmer
x out the y's
eliminate the chance of a winner
punishment park the clown baby
capturing the flag, possibly maybe
one hand washes, the other receives
those hands are clean is what a fool believes
mr. halcyon
light as a feather and flying high within the friendly skies
touched down and never left the ground
hoping for discovery of the profound category
redundancy to duck allegory
caustic wit meant to advance the story
abstract Uroburos
self-sacrificial while simultaneously cyclical
skipped standing in line to get a new brain
that makes one neutral on a moving train
logic dictates there's momentum to gain even without movement
forced improvement
is it harder then to be stagnant, or worse digress?
repel the magnet
that's the choice of the polar opposition
painless just like a suicide mission
an impression that just kept on pushing away
the misguided passion play
all star cast
cream of the crop
solid 'til the last thread of curtain drops
some method benefits the misdirected
hand selected to be disconnected
smart cats realize it ain't pretty to pull a 180
and cut that city
