My last name is Five, that's three plus two Constantly elevating like a hot air balloon Shifting through these clouds on the wing of a hawk Eroded by the sea like the edges of a rock I get down before I get up And locate around the middle so the elements keep inside my touch Planting seeds and such and sleep under the money tree And casually walk away cause dollar bills don't mean sh** to me Walking on my hands in this upside down world Guard my trust like the oyster defends it's very pearls The feather ink starts to twirl and spiral around the page That gradually turns yellow over the years and the letters fade away I slipped inside an envelope and sealed it with snail gloss And sent myself on a journey at the flat rate my name costs I got shifted to the edge of the planet Tumbled down the waterfall but I didn't think to panic I crash landed somewhere near the crossroads of fate And talked language with the ambient voice of my soulmate So heavenly her gaze caught my glare It's funny how a whisp of smoke looks like a lock of angel's hair This bu*terfly catastrophe has caught me off my guard Looking through the lenspiece when I'm already amongst the stars Always searching for a way to make my parents proud Gentle rain dripping on me from these cumulous clouds Changing up the patterns through the concept of string theory I turn a deaf ear when the population hears me Can't help aging like a photograph Torpedoing down this tunnel of time reaching out for the past I crack a cranberry gingerale and watch my days unfold Sit back with a tourist's map and watch myself grow old I crack a cranberry gingerale and watch my days unfold Stand in front of a mirror and watch myself grow old My birth name is Stephen with a ph
