[Aesop Rock and Dose One]
2
This is not your ordinary ballad
3
With a perfect little bow around the middle
4
And a black man on a white horse
5
Or a white man on a black horse
6
It's got all these tired parts where
7
We don't even sing at random
8
Princess, raise the drawbridge
9
We don't serve your kind
10
It ends where it begins
11
And the beginning isn't pretty
12
Can't forget that not-so-perfect
13
Bow around the middle ('round the middle, 'round the middle...)
14
Har-bour (???) [said like har-bow?]
15
And it goes a little something like this..
16
[Aesop Rock]
17
New walk in a broken sole (???), pedigree incessant
18
Got (Gut?) the cruddy (???) frame
19
The zealots enveloped inside the belly of the blame
20
Cut-throats the result of pope jokes soaked in poacher constants
21
And now the jewel emits cold, wander prominent.. honour (honour)
22
I bought up silkworms by the bucket like starter kits
23
So you first bought a stitch
24
Joined damaged mammoth brigading caper
25
Nurse the tantrum with a fantasy chaser
26
I keep the spare wings strapped to my fuses
27
In case the hackers snatch the plumage
28
[Dose One]
29
So you mean these things are worth money
30
Now drifting off
31
This is the who-you-calling-homeless
32
Mock me fearful
33
Twisted ???? ???? and I got front row seats at the d-d-d-d-dead concert
34
And you're in it, Ichabod (???)
35
Running out of most (???) from the Alamo (???) we're moseying
36
My kind of people ???? ???? ???? ???? moseying (???)
37
With my eyes patched ???? ???? ???? universe
38
So I back it and gave my verdict (???) ???? ???? ???? ????
39
[Aesop Rock]
40
Oh it'll be soon (real soon)
41
???? ???? immune to doom blends
42
I eat ditch (???) in the kitchen 'til every spoon bends
43
A glance along tomorrow, sorry
44
Looking not at hopefuls (???), where's the raindance
45
My little flint never dreamed would flood unpotable
46
See I sanitize nothing for the sake of contemporary taste
47
Contemporary taste made my lip drop in the first place (incoming)
48
Hmm, yo why not be a czar, analyze fallen heroics
49
Recognize root of the worship, search and hold it
50
Who put the fun in dysfunctional? I..
51
Chronicle sun combustible, donkey-punching pinholes
52
In uncomfortables and conjunctionals for good (good)
53
Dr-rink up, slop a goblet of dirt wine (???),
54
I nurse a single application of introvert, serpentine
55
[Dose One]
56
Now a sunset without a scrape of red an-an-and plastic bag
57
Now sunk around his head (???) sick-sick-sick-sick... (???)
58
???? ???? ????
59
The sickness likeness in the roofer's eyes and his alone
60
And nothing terrible happened to the bag
61
???? ???? ???? ???? ????...
62
And brought on out...
63
And clouds...
64
The hiss cuts out... (???)
65
Suppose it's noise...
66
And the piano...
67
And the window frrraame... (???)
68
Sky and dirt that's fresh... kept
69
From where I'm going... holy other
70
Holy other, holy other, holy other...
71
[Aesop Rock]
72
B-B-B-B-B-But
73
I've got charcoals in my heart, I've got charcoals in my heart
74
I've got charcoals by the armfuls that burn my armor apart
75
I've got charcoals in my heart, but I've got charcoals in my heart
76
I've got charcoals by the armfuls that burn my armor apart
77
[Dose One]
78
And before, when I said 'Shut the fuck up, it's none of your business'
79
That was to be in vain
80
You shoulda locked that up when you're all finished
81
Finished yet? Now uhm...
82
I usually finish this number with uh... my skull up (???)
83
[Aesop Rock]
84
Everybody rally around the novel burners, spit, murder the matches
85
Where the junkies trade diseases and the gullible trade passions
86
Then the masses wanna lean on me like 'O Captain, my Captain'
87
Not considering maybe this oarman hosts orbit attachments...
88
[Dose One]
89
Button, button, who's got the button (???)
90
Take my name, please...
91
Button, button, who's got the button (???)
92
Leaks the little checker-men made out of lightning in my ????
93
Oh, you like to help with goats (?!?) see what I got in this here locket
94
[Aesop Rock and Dose One]
95
This is not your ordinary ballad
96
With a perfect little bow around the middle
97
And a black man on a white horse
98
Or a white man on a black horse
99
And I can't forget the not-so-perfect bow around the middle

Har-bour (???)
