Jambi Cafe

[Verse 1: Kimya Dawson & Both]

I wish that your headaches would subside, my friend

And that your healing isn't just a case of double contact lens

I've got my name down for table at the Jambi Cafe

So I can "Meka Leka Hiney Ho" all of your pain away

And I am outside D's Variety; I'm up on the brick wall

And it's the first time that this tongue of mine has licked a fireball

I close my eyes and feel the burn and say "Yeah, bring it on"

I feel weak, but I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm strong

I feel weak, but I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm strong

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock & Both]

I heard you ate shit at the skate ramp

Two left feet watering a face plant

Ah dude, you know that "skate or die" is just a term

The latter half is fully independent of the first

Still I get it you were curbside, sentenced to observe

From the low-risk prison of a sedentary perch

All jittery, vault triggering your inner tomboy

Timidly slipping into the military convoy, dang

Lose trucks aim for the fun box

Juiced up, cruising over urethane gum drops

You hit the kicker warp speed yelling "Punk rock!"

Turns out plywood's not a fan of tough talk, oof

Cued up a slow-mo heave-ho

Everybody staring at the airborne freak show

Scraped knees and a very bruised ego

You're a good kid just a goofy Knievel

The good news is it really doesn't matter

The other good news is an apple Jolly Rancher

And it won't heal wounds but it will heal moods

And it's sweet and it's sour and it's green and it rules

Can't do much so the cut won't sting

But you can make a couple taste buds go z-z-z-zing

Can't do much so the cut won't sting

But you can make a couple taste buds go ziga-ziga-zing

[Verse 3: Kimya Dawson & Both]

If you got bit by a viper from the Amazon

I would sneak my dad's X-acto and cut X's in your arms

And I would suck out all the venom causing chaos and confusion

And replace that shit with a Swiss Miss and Ovaltine transfusion

And I'm on the stoop at Joe's and I am just a little kid

And it's the first time that this tongue of mine gives a blue Raz a lick

And all that I can say is "Holy shit, guys what is this?"

What could I have done to deserve such awesomeness?
