Thought I caught it coming ‘round again like it’s Hailey’s Comet
Almost had me buckling and praying to a Pagan Prophet
I’ve been in the fire pit, tryna stay aquatic
Dehydrated from the trickle trickle down of Reganomics (ay)
Neon Autumn stock, buy a million shares
We floating to the top like a Willy Wonk Heir
We heating up the Wok for them billionaires
Let it bang, let it knock like a Dilla Drum Snare
If it ain’t something, then it’s something else
Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, thinking of some happy thoughts
Keep me cool as Planet Hoth in the midst of Ragnarok
So many wagging dogs that I can’t keep the tales straight
We ain’t playing for a stalemate, we wanna see a jailbreak
Evening full of ale, my morning smoothie kale based
Moving at a snail’s pace on the white whale chase
Damsels in distress tied along the railway
I’m giving it my best, but I cannot find the failsafe
If it ain’t something, then it’s something else
The ballyhoo is burdensome, terrible and turbulent
We wanted pairs of turtledoves, instead we got some murder bugs
I said I let myself rest, as soon as all the work is done
But work is never done, we keep it going til we turn to dust
There’s always something to be fixed or repaired
That cannot be accomplished with our wits and our prayers
Been Baring my soul like the plane is malfunctioning
Freefalling fast, I can see the ground under me
If it ain’t something, then it’s something else
At this point, I’m waiting for the big one (woah, yeah)
Whole city watching every bridge plunge (woah, yeah)
Folks yelling down with the system (woah, yeah)
If we going down it’s coming with us (woah, yeah)
At this point, I’m waiting for the spaceship (woah, yeah)
Or the interruption in the matrix (woah, yeah)
Or the warning signs of revelations (woah, yeah)
Hopefully, it’s my imagination (woah, yeah)
