Aesop Rock - Number Nine Lyrics
Deliver us from evilLitter bugged amoeba simmer on the brimstoneGrim tone, bring him homeAuthoritative restoration will be rationed righteouslyTo those deemed suitably fit to police their own sobrietyStandard law that wriggle intimate, mingle with coincidental mishap, then snapCurse the digsYellow brick Zooka birthed the pissI trust that every litigant will be his own worst pigThirst big, baby, I reckon y'all are a mess too, but insecurities willMake your bio sound less coolIf fizzy lifting drinks are par for saddling your horse,You might consider sawing Sea Biscuit off at the knees beforeFew chew sacred like them sewer cougarsPatient 'til the Lugar movers daytrip with them super cookers blazingDivvy up the remarkable carcass, what a reliefAnd y'all ain't even washed yesterday's blood off your teethBehind the buck-bin Duane Reade aviators plated with the dookie brown tint sitThe googly off the daily paperClip red or blue (Blue!)Either way the shredder chewLetter to the editor messenger, let him throughEngine engine number nine, sock it to me one more timeSaid uh, un-gowa, we got the power [x3]Automatic systematic engine number nine, sock it to me one more timeSaid un-gowa we got the powerOkay, do your thing [Echoes]Family, do your thing, do your thing, stop[Aesop Rock:]I put a beetle on his back and take notesPlay a dealt hand. Kicks wing tips 'til the tank flips conveyor beltShelf a mayor saber for catering navy saviorHelp who treat stray children like clay pigeons off the sailor's deckHe squeaks 'pull', I freak the wool over the owl eye;Filter sheepish winter through it's sister on the outsideMeanwhile back at HQ, he's twisting his moustache, hatching a plan to hate youShark fin dollar pay a ghost guild bucketsHard pill to swallow and he knows pills, trust himDrunkards of the crystal palace suck assignmentWalk the diamonds in the soles of your chukkas back to the slaves who mined 'emIt's Raggedy Andy clan; fancy the pretty stitches'til he learned the skinny on the fragility's physicsLike he snag a button eye on the fly by the barbsSuper glue the parts, now his students are alarmedNo worries, it's snow flurries compared to what the sheriff wish:Curfew the city that must notBust warn shots at a run-of-mill Waldo on a doctor huntHe will make the most wonderful sarcophagus occupantEngine engine number nine, sock it to me one more timeSaid uh, un-gowa, we got the power [x3]Automatic systematic engine number nine, sock it to me one more timeSaid un-gowa we got the powerOkay, do your thing [Echoes]Family, do your thing, do your thing, stop[Aesop Rock:]Rotten egg, not to be pegged as fashionably tardyThe difference is the latter got the freebies from the barkeepWait, Aes-*****ing-Rock is in the buildingThe room looked up, looked down, kept sniffingSlit the neck and slip the chip in, sipping anti-governmental zombie grogBut zombied up gladly on your Swiss Army watchAs if twitching upon your authored condition'sReally that different from administered conditioning glitchesKissing a firewater pitcher with the fatal Drano-chase gameIt's hiding in the Nang labeled with the day-glow face paintSome buckle when the T-Rex treks shakes the puddlesMy huggable jungleMy son of a dove cry, humble, even doves dieI took the black outta something to judge the lung byI took the mag out like the crack out of a bum's pipeI hook the tag up like a flag over the plum skyMud pie cruiser with an oink for the innocentI blame it on the ambiguous quote unquote systemIf a quota needs some filling you're a whoreSincerely yours, engine number nine conductorAll aboard!Engine engine number nine, sock it to me one more timeSaid uh, un-gowa, we got the power [x3]Automatic systematic engine number nine, sock it to me one more timeSaid un-gowa we got the powerOkay, do your thing [Echoes]Family, do your thing, do your thing, stop
