《Water Tower》歌词

[00:00:00] Water Tower - Aesop Rock

[00:00:00] Vita es morte es vita

[00:00:04] Life is death is life

[00:00:12] Found nothing but the feathers and the skull

[00:00:15] On the porch like a present with a bow

[00:00:17] Dinner's in a black earth gutted and uncoupled from the patchwork

[00:00:20] Buried by a seven year cherub in the backyard

[00:00:23] Epitaph and all

[00:00:24] Disciple o' the cycles and sciences of birth in a fertilized hyacinth

[00:00:28] Life in the vitamins invited up to cypresses

[00:00:31] A testament to moxie in the miracle of lifelessness

[00:00:34] It's tricky when you'd rather rot into the soil as a nutrient

[00:00:37] Than navigate this mortal coil in human skin dig

[00:00:40] The nuances of putrefying jelly

[00:00:42] Hit the levee when those feathers are a cancer in your besty

[00:00:45] And I pick a ginger gold that's fed by a drunken uncle

[00:00:47] One from a customer pumping that sumner blood work

[00:00:50] Remember them ascending settling any high scores

[00:00:53] Forty meters up with the heart of a high dive horse

[00:00:57] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:00:59] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:01:02] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:01:05] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:01:08] Impossible impossible impossible

[00:01:23] I told my ex in '97 I was falling on my weapon

[00:01:25] Ripped the phone up out the wall

[00:01:27] The po dragged me from my bedroom

[00:01:28] An embarrassing ordeal involving hospitals and questions

[00:01:31] And the kinda doctors who use words like cognitive and spectrum

[00:01:34] While explaining why you're selfish

[00:01:35] To romanticize our rules

[00:01:36] And watch unruly roots

[00:01:37] Pull you to lucifer

[00:01:38] By your shoes I mean it isn't perfect

[00:01:41] Don't misconstrue the purpose

[00:01:42] Any urge isn't discernible from

[00:01:43] Community service to the kiddo

[00:01:46] Plus you'd make a beautiful widow

[00:01:47] But that's an altruistic ticket to a room with no windows

[00:01:50] Hmm you'd think he would've learned back in the eighties

[00:01:53] When they pulled him out of class over concerns about his safety

[00:01:56] But he didn't it wasn't cause he doesn't get the message

[00:01:58] More he doesn't judge a man by how honorable his death is

[00:02:01] On a scale you made up anyway

[00:02:03] Half passed out to pasture

[00:02:04] Whether clapped your batteries in backwards

[00:02:07] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:02:10] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:02:13] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:02:16] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:02:19] Impossible impossible impossible

[00:02:34] I had a pet lizard he never got an obit

[00:02:36] Fed him crickets it was dead a f**king month before I noticed

[00:02:39] An older me would note that whether disposable goldfish

[00:02:42] Or theist we certainly become the earth as equals in a circle

[00:02:45] Meek until the spirit isn't willing

[00:02:47] While the flesh is still a staple of the labor forcing whistling

[00:02:50] It's roadkill evoking emotion his own totem don't

[00:02:53] That's a reality you evade or grow to own

[00:02:56] Social code broken a hierarchy to gasp at

[00:02:59] Black labs over wet dads on the admat

[00:03:01] Tabby of a parasite bats at the parish

[00:03:04] A civil war becoming of ungovernable atoms

[00:03:07] I'm born from the guts of stars and black tar pits

[00:03:09] Iron maiden denim paint the devil under grawlix

[00:03:13] Crawls out a clawed coffin a huff and puff

[00:03:15] Somewhere in between the dust and dust

[00:03:18] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:03:21] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:03:24] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:03:26] Paint no rules on the water tower

[00:03:30] Impossible impossible

[00:03:34] Impossible impossible
