Dimitri & The Scarecrow - Funfare lyrics

Funfare A rhythmic twang of piano chords A mixing of the jazz with the lyrical draw Feeling an African note, do a little swirl A seasoning drum, that's seasoning percussion And hold it from your core Feeling memories of days back in high school Feels like, a little bit of rap just to fill in the gaps And the bigger music map reminiscing to laugh Grand stage performances happening between cla**es Your one a**et, credibility to fellow cla** mates Never felt as emphatic when generating a buzz Huddling up and summoning the spirit of “US” Let me steer with the rudder of my lyrical tongue But I'm just a man reveling in the spirit of love I'm just picking from the aura and channeling Familiarizing you with how you are feeling The spirit of freestyle was never about the individual The residual rhymes reflected off the people Hence we gather to commiserate or celebrate Debate or state matter of facts sayings Playing upon language and voice tone Unbeknownst to us when we were so simple This was a funfare without care So sad to be grown and wish I was there Hook: It's like jazz, it's like hip hop It's not quite the right picture A little rhythm, melancholy You say the simplest things and it's poetry If it's too serious, it ain't real If it's real, then I'll take you seriously Stare too hard and it ain't there I only care about the funfare And, the smartest things tickling minds as we're smiling oh… Verse 2 Oh the seismic bribing Of my kin defining, surviving Lying, surmising, climbing And finding the heights are arising So I stop living in the dark and embrace the chaos Cos if you look a little closer, you'll find that there is order The rule of thumb is, only do what you wanna Only do coz you wanna, never do coz you gotta The big wheel is carrying its pa**engers You fasten your seatbelt screaming from the top of your lungs The funfare only lasts so long It's a done deal, no redeeming the time lost So listen to the thud thrumming in your chest Humming for your quest, something beyond flesh I feel a bit of a definitive, riveting to the intricate The bigger pic imagining living it in the delicate Tenderness of the elements, representing my eloquence Second guessing is never it, forever I wanna settle it I wanna breathe in the atmosphere of the free Not having to tug so I can chug my beer I'm so far from, blah blah, the orthodox Ask me how come I'll flip Pandora's Box And ha! ha! I'm so sick convention-ah! Starving us of the creative nutrients! Hook (x1) Bridge: The funfare is your life Stay alive? Try survive or be alive Hook (x1) Fin
