1
As I was flowing on St. Ide's,
2
my tongue got tied up ooh-seven times,
3
and every signified took on seventy signs,
4
like everyone has ooh-several lives.
5
And all the wonderful words you speak!
6
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh!
7
And the dangerous company uh-you keep --
8
where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for support!
9
So "when I get to troubles with language,"
10
well you see why it's hard to make the words "so heavy" fly.
11
And I'm on a mission to recognize
12
this context we create in linear time.
13
And all the wonderful words you use!
14
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-woah.
15
And the desperate company uh-you choose --
16
where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for support, so!
17
Like, is what you say what you say, aside
18
from the story that I write that brings you into focus in my eyes?
19
And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives?
20
And would I then be the King of Time?
