[00:00.650]So you want to be a carpenter do you
[00:02.830]Well it takes more than a hammer boy
[00:04.309]You're gonna need blueprints and a will to build and
[00:05.859]Straighten your cap
[00:06.918]You look like you've been through a war
[00:08.228]Wipe that grin off your mug
[00:09.448]You got a sturdy frame
[00:10.408]Sluggish posture just won't cut it
[00:12.096]You're gonna need schooling
[00:12.676]And and take notes
[00:14.525]And god if I catch you yawning again
[00:16.034]You're gonna regret ever asking for my help
[00:17.564]And dammit you gotta hustle
[00:18.674]This is a slacker-free zone
[00:19.783]And where's my pencil go get your hard-hat
[00:21.353]Here's a nickel go get us a ruler
[00:22.732]And a saw and a drill and lots of graph paper
[00:24.870]I used to have a rope ladder
[00:25.800]But tattered were the rungs
[00:27.320]I strung it from the highest willow
[00:28.510]Trying to hug the sun
[00:30.310]The seventh level buckled
[00:31.379]And I tumbled from the summit
[00:33.257]Now I'm back to re-climb
[00:34.166]And this time light my cigarette from it
[00:36.354]My stitchin division to vision warfares numb
[00:38.243]Enough to soak suddenly in a bullet bath
[00:40.641]And skip stones in the morning as I
[00:42.480]Lie in color phantom tantrum explicable
[00:45.139]Sit and pull the petals off wild flower patches
[00:47.339]Magic happens
[00:48.079]Behold pity the lowlife parish
[00:50.107]Doom City barracks left remorse coursed
[00:52.047]On a horse-drawn carriage by the torch of Polaris
[00:54.047]To the Badlands where every bridge
[00:55.726]Collapse right where the crowd stands
[00:57.206]Where the witches are fireproof
[00:58.276]And every preacher's a madman
[01:00.415]Frigid be the appleseed demeanor towards the bay
[01:03.055]Where the landshark Parliament swims
[01:04.264]When they pause to polish they fins
[01:06.074]The better brains will preach the village
[01:07.793]Through the city square
[01:08.633]To the light heavy and middle-weight integrate
[01:09.963]Slept with sticks and stones in my pillowcase
[01:12.381]Oohmy bomb's light simulator
[01:13.420]Picks barnacles off the tugboat belly
[01:15.398]Left my spirit home in a shoebox in case I die
[01:18.297]Got a rugged smoke-green halo floating inches off the swamp
[01:20.847]Had that phase when the devil
[01:22.427]Tree contacts a sparkle in my eye
[01:24.006]Now step back from the reservoir
[01:25.615]And let the settlers drink
[01:27.425]Salvage all priorities and iron out all kinks
[01:30.454]My house ain't made of bricks
[01:31.574]And straw but never has it crumbled
[01:33.154]Cuz I stitched the brain's rigidity with symmetry
[01:35.263]Come visit me
[01:36.443]It's fascinating
[01:37.093]Now here's how its done

[01:45.483]You work every inch
[01:46.363]Your domain and you must treat it well
[01:47.773]Keep it clean or it'll swallow you whole
[01:49.643]Where's the T-square hand me the pliers
[01:51.013]Now dammit oh this will never do
[01:52.942]You have to want the castle
[01:54.482]Head Up shoulders back

[01:58.390]Are you listening

[02:24.123]Stinging the hunt
[02:25.242]The hunt dispatched a pack of wild dog silhouettes
[02:26.802]All sulking by the skyline
[02:28.700]Focused with a bonus hunger pain
[02:30.279]My sincere addiction imbalance stems
[02:32.199]From a vintage grimace slap to the mug of
[02:34.317]Ancestral branch camped on the vessels
[02:36.097]Yes and I abide
[02:36.737]The laws of the hidden desert survived
[02:39.076]And every peasant presenteed it
[02:40.656]On the crescent less deprived
[02:42.085]With the exception of pleasant finale binges
[02:43.794]On the great endangered interests
[02:45.783]Of phantom brigades slaving to save that princess
[02:48.183]I double the negative
[02:49.912]To no avail no promised benefits
[02:52.151]Just delegates peddling pairs of negatives
[02:54.330]With magnified magnanimous appearance
[02:56.229]Sandy sinners in opinion shut
[02:58.119]Now what of the madness fragments Stagnant

[03:06.565]Walkin' eye civility simpleton citizen
[03:08.255]Mixers to kiss the sky in unison
[03:10.355]Sinister city-blistered corporate rule-igans
[03:12.533]All I really want's a nickel to feed my little pigs

[03:22.609]Criminals date R**e the hostage
[03:24.029]Dream away the blame pain yeah
[03:26.167]But it seeps through the cracks
[03:27.277]And drips from the ceiling and smells
[03:28.567]The rich scent of my tracks
[03:29.906]All I ever really wanted was a jungle
[03:32.415]And a jungle I got
[03:33.595]See it ain't the vision
