Chorus: La, la, la, la [x6] La, la, la, la [x6] Verse 1: Yo, welcome to the future, a carnival of gloss Needs cheap, inch-deep, now we’re drowning in dross And the scaffolding’s paperclips and papier-mâché In the mezzanine, Philistines are leaning on the balustrade Over the horizon a Seldon Crisis looms The Mule is licking his lips — Lady Liberty, her wounds And the prescient appeal to prayer wheels for intercession As the lemmings live 32 feet per second per second With foam fingers rising, they're saluting Martin Luther While the 95 theses are rewritten by Dunning-Kruger Eucharist on clearance; Mercury in retrograde The Betty Ford Clinic has moved to The Hague We shoot black tar dopamine; Alekhine’s opening A trojan in the saddle with lotus eaters prattling Battle for sport, then the pending divorce Yeah, my theory’s got warts; I’m just preaching to the chorus Chorus: La, la, la, la [x6] Verse 2: Let’s bathe in these tribal waves washing over fallacies Retention of attention is the only rationale we need Glad to see we have the need to keep grabbing these Rectangles of anger under blue screen canopies, yeah Flip the fader back and forth rapidly Props got us spinning tales/tails like boats over manatees We absently don’t look up and don’t happen to see A sword of Damacles hanging over humanity Uh, we head toward our corners to attack Inventing schemes that can transport us to the back A time machine that moves man forward to the past And inexorably lands with Morlocks; it’s a wrap cause You phony; I’m euphonious; Ro is so melodious The holiest is lowly and yet you show acrimony From the Fall to Falwell, the blame isn’t mine Standing in my glass house with a plank in the eye Chorus: La, la, la, la [x6] Verse 3: 2020 got me peeping like I'm an owl or an eagle Sights primeval; day and night all the perfect people Regal, the green curtain that hides the villain Best check yourself like you're Herbert Snellen That E on the chart — it don't stand for emulate Like light from stars a million light years away Shine bright; take heart; your part may be to start Or to pick up the ball and to carry it farther The sky is falling while their stocks still booming A reverse Isaac Newton, so appealing to chew on One bad apple has started this ruin but me and you Can restore the core with this tea I'm brewing Diversity is an honor, not for eradication The puzzle pieces fit cause they're not all the same and Rejoice in the presence of even those who are late yeah They might be that T-Rex last minute savior Chorus La, la, la, la [x6] La, la, la, la [x6]

Verse 1: Like the lakes, I'm great in 4k, landscape Simultaneity space, made to skirt diverse states My reality swayed by a construct contrived As I chronicle the quantum described by my eyes Sometimes, I may seem eerie or even a little superior I'm here; I'll pick you up if you're stuck let me carry ya Like this sound, take it; make it loud; wow, this beat is future bound I hope you come around and when I'm lost that we're found And then we rebound to the line, and don't let it fly by So much time is wasted hesitating for sure signs Stars shine, don't hide the heart of a clear mind Yeah, let's get together like reticular mesenchymes In messy times, we're meant to help and be kind 'Cause IRL don't work so well when trying to rewind Until we get a bridge built by Rosen and Einstein Yeah we may all die, but have fun in the here time Chorus: Yeah, the star lounge is open now Come on in, and let us show you how An horizon opening event Climb aboard; we gon' get into it Time for a wormhole pilgrimage Cause we know that it is legit Yeah, we really hope you stay around Now welcome to the starlounge Verse 2: Big bang, steady state, unmoved mover, none of the 3 There must be something uncaused in the cosmos but not me Cause two Clemente fans met 700 moons ago And of a phosphorescent ovum, yada yada, and so We have the Hessian’s Tale, filled with obsessions and holy grails With a cryogenic bent to forestall, then post bail Unpack aspirations from moth balls and flail Falling down a murky hallway into a black veil We are: set adrift. You know what? Banana splits Are delicious, so taste the mix, wishless oblivion abides, and it’s Cold and dark, solitary and stark, or rather It's all blather but the footpaths of cadavers Just walking each other home, through the catacombs When in Rome, try a pistachio gelato cone You hit the lotto, Holmes, you got the chromosomes This ain't a rent-to-own trek through the quantum foam Chorus: Yeah, the star lounge is open now Come on in, and let us show you how An horizon opening event Climb aboard; we gon' get into it Time for a wormhole pilgrimage Cause we know that it is legit Yeah, we really hope you stay around Now welcome to the starlounge Verse 3: Life’s a pedal, and it’s ready to just floor it, hit the gas It’s a vapor, a limited stay here; you can’t store or bring it back Like my neighbor, I just labor to ignore it even more 'til This neural Sisyphean boulder on my shoulder starts to crack In a wormhole; I fly through in a sky coupe In a duel with time; we’ll see who dies at high noon The arrow flies, and who Will Tell it finds fruit? Tales are just narrators’ way to stay alive or try to And I’m a shoddy, writer’s blocky Scheherazade rapping I’m like Ryan Reynolds, don’t know how to act and that’s when This living water slipping, dropping through my hands, and Guess I’m heading to the ending that I practiced; check it Rich fool, storing junk in the corner I’m gonna lose it so no need to hoard it Forgetting the dory and dropping the normal And telling a story; now I’m an immortal A journey to justice, grace, humility Mercy; this has legs: millipedes Surely pearly gates aren’t trussed with Bluster, smugness, and fakes Chorus: Yeah, the star lounge is open now Come on in, and let us show you how An horizon opening event Climb aboard; we gon' get into it Time for a wormhole pilgrimage Cause we know that it is legit Yeah, we really hope you stay around Now welcome to the starlounge

Made with three-quarters inch thick wood grain veneer in a walnut color, these artisan relics are produced by a corporation with headquarters legally based right here in the good ol' US of A. Brett, this exquisite piece is from the new Living Your Truth Collection, which have been all painstakingly handcrafted from my automated printing factory. And each of these signs really brings a personalized touch. For example, this one; it says “Eat” and you can put it in your living room. Each piece is lettered in a cursive rustic font with elegant swashes and tails, and appended with nature doodles which creates a unity of style that says, “Home.” Well, technically this one says, “Home: It’s Where You Live," Tad. Yeah. And for only $49.99 this sign can be delivered right to your very own home…where YOU live. A small price to pay to make sure everyone who visits your home is organically informed of the purpose of each and every room. Look, the beauty of a piece like this one, Brett, is that you live IN every room of your home, which allows maximum décor flexibility. Indeed, Tad, indeed... Oh, I believe we have a caller on the line. Caller, are you interested in owning a piece of history and obtaining one of these idyllic bespoke vestiges for display in your home?

[Channel Changing Sound] ...and ya'll: now we got these ware elites out here that are trying to teach our children Critical Species Theory in schools but Bo, we cannot stand by and let this happen, because it starts with them speaking this perversion of natural language that they call "piglatin," and the next thing you know, little Susie is trying to grow a curly tail and build a house out of straw with a couple of her friends. I've been doing my own research, Ricky, and I heard they already started installing troughs in the cafeteria for kids that identify as Latin pigs. Oh, amen, Bocephus, I tell you what. I am not a historian but I know that you are correct on this one. Alright, Echo Chamber family, we'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors. Do you ever get tired or frustrated? Have trouble focusing? Are you tired of only responding to posts from others in the hopes that they will respond to yours? Does the thought of someone else having a better life than you make you irrationally angry for no apparent reason? You may be suffering from Sociomaledial Malaise. Thankfully we have the cure: Polarity. The new social media app just for you... and the people you love to hate. Polarity. Polarity’s algorithm carefully curates your feed so you only see posts from people that completely agree with you or that you definitely hate. Avoid nuance. With Polarity. Polarity may cause disinformation, lib-owning, eye soreness, euphoria, fatigue, undetermined life threatening conditions, vomiting, unearned validation, loss of actual friendships, itching, burning, loss of empathy, blindness, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other people’s lives...

Verse 1: It’s young stats The resident doc and as I push the clock A new patient I got is straight outta the north So at my arrival, time to check your vitals I cannot deny that your feeling some warmth Irregular beating, then gasping to breathe, and We could try to treat it or maybe just sweep it Under the rug, clean up on aisle 3; leave it Cause my hands and feet are on the way to Venus Get away from all the misfits Feening for the dopamine that is instant Going straight for the green, but we missed it Oblivious of the green we were gifted The minas turn to Midas, and we found the touch With a fools gold crown on a brow that slumps But Lil Jon taught us not to turn down for what So let’s move in to a universe that bounces up Chorus 1: Uh, vital signs weaken But the billboard is a beacon And we drove right by, and that is the reason that we will be leaving Yeah, vital signs weaken The billboard is a beacon We drove right by, and that is the reason that we will be leaving Verse 2: Epochs of ferns, trilobites, and the Stegosaurus Fats that ruled before us burning in our Taurus There's a detour up ahead, and the engine light's red While the bridge is out over a dried-up riverbed Good luck, Godspeed Some monkeys just cover their eyes and feed While the Johnnies and Jens bake like gingerbread men Whistling past a plaster cast of an Iguanodon Over a chorus of crickets; ain't kicking ballistics The frontal lobe's like a microbe: parasitic A Ponzi scheme, Armageddon Clock-themed, ibid And Gaia's checking her watch; can ya dig it? I’m all-in for Earth over the eight billion locusts Running leaf blowers every October And the corpses co-mingling with the partygoers 2000 zero zero: time's up; it’s all over Chorus 2: The vital signs weaken But the billboard is a beacon And now the reason we're leaving Is we drove right by without seeing Verse 3: Listen to me, née the Third Rock Also known as the globe that you walk Get on your feet; see I'm coming in hot Like you made my seas; believe it or not Not gonna lie I'm the one shot you got Remember that goldfish you wished for and washed? Well, water will make you more flush than your wad Stick with that script, and I'll switch up the plot Some of you claim that you may wanna witness The end of my time but you need to hear this Consensus is that you should come to your senses I plead with you thus, stop counting your cents, yes Dream about more than just your existence Or get on a rocket right out of this system A short sharp shock but you need to listen For this is a world that our children will live in Chorus 2: The vital signs weaken But the billboard is a beacon And now the reason we're leaving Is we drove right by without seeing

Verse 1 This give to you of finitude A temporal pursuit, condemned to choose Murals of the bruise-imbued Lifetimes of you unmet, the proof What's cut; what's left behind That makes aspirations and actions rhyme Carvings, beautiful scars and aches So when I die, my epitaph should say: Here lies Rob or his cremains He loved dusk and blustery autumn days The squeals of laughter when his nephews played With the vacuum cleaner or the finger paints It's moments; don't hope; you must commit When the universe sends loose ends that fit Shooting stars are a harbinger; make a wish I don’t deserve this person but there she is Chorus: You know I wanna love But there is just so much That I can give, for us to live Put your hand here, and feel my pulse From the farthest star Straight into my heart Where you begin is where I end Let's start again, and never stop Verse 2: Hey there nice to see ya Heartbeat onomatopoeia Boom bop, how it greets ya Merging lines on EKGs and My glass house is fully owned I'm self-aware but still catching stones It's been two years so tell me what I missed Since I came up for air not long ago I hope our beats are synched in Hertz With the pulse I feel in the universe And you hold my hand when the end is near Out of love and awe, not out of fear Cause I need more friends and not more enemies As I already have an arch enemy within me What's meant to protect me is literally killing me It's you and me 'til the end, relentlessly Chorus: You know I wanna love But there is just so much That I can give, for us to live Put your hand here, and feel my pulse From the farthest star Straight into my heart Where you begin is where I end Let's start again, and never stop Verse 3: Two roads, they diverged In a wood, and I Ignored both And blazed though the vines Left brain is on lock But right’s got the music So when the beat drops It cannot refuse it There's no need to ask it My love has accepted it’s part of the package Home is her presence, and there is a balance Our talents get tenants, but tenants, not talents Always adapting Heart is in fractions but moored and inspired Part is extracted then forged in the fire Sharpened, not hardened like swords from the iron And carbon; now starting the course going higher Chorus: You know I wanna love But there is just so much That I can give, for us to live Put your hand here, and feel my pulse From the farthest star Straight into my heart Where you begin is where I end Let's start again, and never stop Never stop...
