hip hop is the future, hip hop is my life it means even more to me than my marriage with my wife but I don't mean to brag, and I don't mean to boast, when it comes to hip hop skill I clearly got the most and the rhymes I'm spittin the rhymes that I'm gettin they don't mean a thing unless you sing it with me now: I'm the big money ghost I'm the company man and I can't change that, it's just who I am the people askin me for money, I don't listen cause the people ain't entirely on board for my mission, you see I don't give a crap about givin for charitys, I only give a crap about what she said to me, she said I was the best ghost she ever met she said she wanted most to get me in bed and she didn't wanna watch no tv shows she just wanna make a story grow, oh no the lesson that i learned wasn't what she was teachin it's that everyone and everywheres a bunch a leeches and they just wanna steal all my big ghost money but then i'd just be a ghost and that wouldn't be funny- so I'm gonna keep up my 1 percentin until the judgment come down and we're all repentin cause the only person judgin me is me and the only thing i know is <nuthin comes free>

I asked the new robot I just designed I asked the new robot if God was real. isn't it funny that no one knows anything about rain seems like some one would've studied that kind of thing don't you think it makes no sense in other words don't you think it's kind of weird it's just kind of odd, oh well, oh well there's a whole lot of hope but there's no hope for anyone here in my heaven none of us are there in my heaven none of us are there we're all right here don't you think it makes no sense in other words don't you think it's kind of weird it's just kind of odd, oh well, oh well, oh well... there are four walls around me and probably everything else to keep the alarms from sounding but it'd take a million years and if you hear a tapping against the window pane please tell me notify me right away

I always wanted a house by the ocean, maybe in another life, I won't really want one. Waiting at the door with her stained glasses, vines flower from her dress, see it's the brightest sun and i don't know where she got it she's in all my classes can make it into a movie I always wanted a remote control that could do its work on the surface of the entire universe and then finally i'm holding it in my hands today

well, there is no love like the love between humans and robots and there's a certain kind of driving that you do between federal prison blocks and there's a baby holding a pack of marlboros but there is no love like the love between humans and robots I can't believe how long we've known each other I can't conceive of all the years we've shared and I couldn't love you any more than I try to but I wish I could I wish I could but there is no love like the love between humans and robots and there's a certain kind of driving that you do between federal prison blocks and there's a baby holding a pack of marlboros but there's no love like the love between humans and robots

RONNIE Dan, ya gotta listen to me, okay? Real quick. I’m a polygamist, Dan, I have many, many wives, Dan. I have so many wives! I’ve got probably about a hundred wives, Dan, and the government looks down on me! They-they don’t respect me, Dan, because I have, I just have way more wives than is usually allowed and they, they think I’m a freak, Dan, and I’d lose my job, Dan... DAN Oh my God, Ronnie, that’s totally crazy- RONNIE I know, I know, but, so, that’s why I need to help, I need ya to help me out here. I have a lot of families to get back to, tonight, Dan. I have a lot of kids waiting to be tucked in, and, and they’re-they're scared, Dan, because of the storm they’re all scared, okay? DAN Oh, I gotcha, Ronnie. Ronnie, loud and clear, let’s get to work then, Ronnie. RONNIE Dan, wait one second, before we start working. DAN Okay, Ronnie. RONNIE Don’t you think it’s weird that I have so many families, Dan? DAN Yes, Ronnie. RONNIE But, Dan! Dan, it’s not weird, it’s just different! In many ways it seems I'm just not a man of my age, Dan... DAN Yeah, Ronnie, I don’t know what to think, but you're a great guy and I think we're friends. RONNIE We get along great, Dan. To tell ya the truth, though, Dan, a lot of the time I feel I would be much happier livin’ in the Old West or in Medieval Times. DAN Yeah? *you are a t-shirt for my soul, threadbare and swollen, you've got it all tied up* DAN Wow, Ronnie, this sure is a weird, is a weird, a kind of strange and magic, uh, job we do... RONNIE Nothin' magical about it, Dan, it's just the way things are and, it's the way things have been for a long time, since- Ever since I've been here it's all worked the same way, ya know? DAN Sure, Ronnie. Can I see that ball, Ronnie, could I see the orb that fell down? RONNIE Dan, you'll have your own orb soon enough and you can look at that, but we gotta hurry, cause I'm really anxious to clock out, Dan, I have to go around to all my families and tuck in all those kids, Dan, it's not so easy... But it is fun, Dan! Over the years I've learned it can be a source of enormous well-being and internal happiness. With so many kids, I've got the whole process down to about three hours, which is what I thought I'd be able to get it down to. DAN Right, okay, so I'll just put the chairs back in starting position here. RONNIE Exactly, if you keep up this pace, we'll be out of here in probably five minutes, Dan.

put some gauze around my face put a muzzle on me i'm gonna teach the whole human race not to mess with guys like me and when i hear the sirens doesn't frighten me but when i see you driving on the highway makes a fool out of me and when the lights go out in major cities all around when the lights go out i miss everyone i used to know how to live and be excited when I turn out all the lights your path will be still lighted by the brick red moon so put the bomb in the San Andreas Fault put the letter under the bridge he can pull on the metal as much as he wants he's not getting out of this (that should hold him!) and when the lights go out what's it all about? when the lights go out

i was walking down an alleyway just the day after yesterday looked up and saw the moon like a stop sign in the sky when the billboards get too big to read and all your money's spent on things you'll need go to work where you're supposed to be get home and you're too tired to sleep your uncle's too stupid now to speak your aunt's too tall for you to see your brother's too busy rakin leaves your other brother's shaken all the trees your lover's not who you thought he or she would be and same with all the other fish in the sea well there's none so blind as those who will not see it looks like we'll be frozen here a long time and all on our frozen fathers' dimes facebooks and novels and the grocery line everybody's gonna be doing just fine well, that's all good but i got this idea of mine and nobody's giving me any light like buried bones and the stars at night i'm sorry to interrupt this lovely song, but i'm afraid we're going to have to ask everyone to leave. we've just discovered that poison gas is leaking from the old mines and for your own safety we're evacuating the town. ~ learning licking lips from just a site morning's misses mists frost not bite and nobody's given you a light just the math of the day just the stars at night and when you're sleeping in your car make sure the window's down when you're sleeping with someone makes sure the window's down don't let anyone turn me around when you're staring up at the smoky air staring up every skirt i wear got leaves and candy stuck in your hair giving all your friends angry stares and so on and so on...

about

I recorded most of these songs in Summer 2013 the night before I had this big throat surgery, because there was like a 20% chance that I was never gonna be able to talk again.

The songs are desperate and clunky, and now they only appear on the night of a full moon so that eating disorders and big tough rich dudes can go to Hell.


"when I witnessed the lambikin open the sixth seal:
//the surface shook,
//the sun hid in a goat cilice,
//the moon pulsed blood red."
-Revelation 6:12

"when THE MOON HITS your eye..."
-ddean martin

"The full moon shone above the house and behind us, so that we could not see it, and EVERYTHING ELSE was bright and saturated with the silver of the dew and the moonlight."
-Leo Tolstoy
