Daylight

[Intro: Digital Underground sample & Aesop Rock]

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" (Aiyyo...)

[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]

Put one up for Shackle Me Not, clean Logic Pro-creation

I did not invent the wheel, I was the crooked spoke adjacent

While the triple-6ers' lassos keep angels roped in the basement

I walk the block with a halo on a stick, poking your patience

Y'all catch a thirty-second flash visual

Dirty cooperative med platoon

Bloom, head-trip split ridiculous

Fathom the splicing of first-generation fuck-up

With trickle-down anti-hero smack (Kraken!)

I pace me game for zero hour completion cretin, splash

Duke of early retirement picket dream

American Nightmare hogging the screen

I'll hold the door open, so you can stumble in

If you'd stop following me 'round the jungle gym

Now it's "honor," and I spell it with the "H" I stole from "heritage"

Merit crutched on the wretched refuse of my teeming resonance

I promise, tempest-tossed breed with a bleeding conscience

See, the creed accents responsive, but my sports divorced the wattage

And I'm sleeping now — wow! —yeah, the settlers laugh

You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash

You won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags to rags

You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs (You won't be laughing!)

Then I'll hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed

So I triple knot 'em and forgot 'em (Uh)

His origami dream is beautiful

But, man, those wings will never leave the ground

Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down

[Chorus: Aesop Rock]

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

[Post-Chorus: Digital Underground sample]

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]

Slacker-bound intimate tabloid headline with a pulse (Pulse)

Shimmy across the centerfold, enter dead time engulfed

Divvy crumbs for the better souls

Put seven deadly stains, and hear the blame to crystal conscience

The result's a lowlife countin' on one hand what he's accomplished

Okay, link me to activism chain, activate street sweep

Plug deteriorating zen up in pen-dragon

I hock spores coursed by the morbid

Spreading of mad men, Alley gospel

Sinking your Lincoln-Log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddle

I could zig-zag and zig 'em again

Before the badge gleam sparkled in my brick wall windows

Another thick installment of one night in Gotham

Without the wretched; Houston, we have a problem

Attached to the festive batch of city goblins

Who split holiday freaks on a box cut cinema high road bellow

Head gripped, watch red bricks turn yellow

Sort of similar to most backbones at Camp Icarus

Where all fiddler crabs congregate and get pampered for bickering

Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman

You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy

Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests (Nope)

Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess (Haha)

Kiss the speaker wire, Peter pacifism pegging threshold

Stomach full of halo kibbles

Wings span cast black upon vigils

Here to Duck Hunt ticker tape vision and pick apart the pixels

I got a friend of polar nature, and it's all peace

You and I seek similar stars, but can't sit at the same feast

Metal captain, this cat is askin' if I've seen his little lost passion

I told him, "Yeah," but only when I pedaled past him

[Chorus: Aesop Rock]

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day

Put the pieces back together my way

[Post-Chorus: Digital Underground sample]

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"

"Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop!

And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"
