Raising the Skate |
Heaven, have mercy on the hypnic jerk you blame for your speech |
Walk around the block again |
Wait 'til I feel cool and straight |
With a diaristic bent on undertaking |
Careful, steady |
Are we steady? |
Cruel and ready |
I’m not bossy, I’m the boss |
Shooter, not the shot |
On the tip and fit to execute |
I’m chief, not the overthrown |
Captain, not a crony |
So if you wanna row, you better have an awfully big boat |
Holding a package from a total stranger who claims to know me |
Naw, you never knew me, man, not even a fraction |
You just glimpsed your own reflection in a gold sheen |
I’m not bossy, I’m the boss |
Shooter, not the shot |
Well-composed with keys to raise the skate |
I’m chief, not the overthrown |
Captain, not a crony |
So if you wanna throw, you better have an awfully big stone |
We could hang out for the summer while you wait for your girl |
Dip a toe 'til it’s soaked and freezing |
But just because I let you kill time dangling me from the quarry |
Doesn’t mean that I won’t land on my feet |
That’s cause I’m the boss |
Caller of the shots |
Sutanejo, never spit to me |
Chief, play my own right hand |
Not haggish, but the hag |
How naïve to trample |
She who’s running from the stampede |
I’m raising the skate |
Look, I’m raising the skate |
