lyrics

Z

The only ones around me
have had it up to here
It's in my bag of tricks to up and disappear

Lead me right off the balcony
right into the pier
or give my one-dose fantasies
all my calls,
or it's no deal

And I roar one
orange
the air around me is just as nice
as it was yesterday.
And he gave me eighty,
which was 20 too much but it's all good,
not no longer foreign, not anymore
I planted flags from seeds, from weeds.

but sometimes I feel like an old riverbed.

Just aim me,
I'm already mostly made of arrows.
Just claim me.
My ghost's as wide
as my hair is narrow,
but it's mean
to always be on your stride.
You and me,
I'll bet we got the self-same marrow.

Counting sheep with my both
hands just in the air.
E-la-de-da-da
but sometimes I feel like an old riverbed.

Huge insane
right in my morning glass.
Bougie bangs
down to her one eyelash.
It's all a joke.
I misspoke.
Have a toke,
it's a hard, hard row.
And you got hoe it one way or another bitch
there’s just no way around it
