Aesop Rock - Keep Off The Lawn lyrics

[Intro:] Good evening! Alright... Yeah! Happy to be breathing... Yeah! I am alive... Yeah! (I am alive...) Yeah... [Bridge:] (You look like you've seen a ghost.) (You look like you've seen a ghost.) [Verse 1:] Most copious Rain soak the opiates Notice how the phobias appropriately procreate Woke up with a ghost farm focused on his groceries When they aren't telling stories, they are multiplying grossly on the lawn Let 'em loiter, never let 'em spawn The apparitions have been drinking this water for too long So when they gather by the birdbath in the morning he will tell 'em "I mean no disrespect, but you have all outstayed your welcome." Interesting, in a sense... Interrupt commiserating phantoms on your picket fence How quickly they will lift their heads And breathe an ultimatum like, "The dead don't argue." Said, "You're living by the bayonet, but how alive are you?" sh**, 'A' is all juice and bad etiquette Elbows on the table, lobster bibbing on the ready-set He said, "But how alive?" "I don't know homey, you decide." ("No, you decide.") Fine... [Chorus:] How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... [Verse 2:] And one by one around the yard, till each one felt communal pride Like they had done their little part in cleaning up the public With a steaming plate of justice for them Easy Baker stomachs (Say what?) We the legends that home with the unremembered Geriatric lore in the clutch of the budding censor Who snuck around the art police and all related governments To infiltrate a human lung and hike up off his tongue and lip Ahh... Money's in the market for a mother ship Double as a vessel that drag it's legacy under it And who am I to hang them out to dry by the heap? When if rehydrating fails, we're all dumber because of me Zombies of the antiquated nation chatter quietly The too alive channel from the library of rivalry And summer's in the mud, winter's by the tracks No story goes untold, Aes is back! [Bridge:] I got a handful rocking the same poker face Down to dance around the table like they own the place (You look like you've seen a ghost.) I got the whole world thinking it's a holiday 'Cause they can smell the chum in the water from miles away (You look like you've seen a ghost.) [Chorus:] How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... How alive? Too alive... [Outro:] "Aesip Rock" "Easep Rock" "Easep Rock" "Here's a bra" "Say it really loud." "Easep Rock" "Easep Ro" "Easeh Ro-Ro" "Easeh-ehhhh Rock"
