VERSE 1:
came out here on a whim
now there’s not much further to go
so we’re providing a window into your soul
(you’re gonna know all about it)
VERSE 2:
but if you don’t know where to begin
then how you gonna know where to go?
how ya gonna simulate a japanese national hero?
(“the japanese”:)
yea we’ll sell ’em nintendos
we’ll start ’em at level zero
OUTRO:
my destination…
(shop shop)
(looked me right inside the eye)
your reputation…
(shop shop)
(begins to crystallize)
your inclination…
(took me by surprise)
(took me right inside the belly of the beast)
one was playing for kicks
one was playing for keeps
VERSE:
stranded in the heart of the danger zone
they had popped my pollyanna
now i’m all alone
stranded in the bowels of the beast
surrounded by the ones that you wanted least
(to know…no…no…no…)
the battle of the bulge has affected me
in a myriad ways
stranded in the heart of the danger zone for days
(for days…for days…)
your time is gonna come when your hopes are up
and you’re expecting it the least
(straight into the belly of an unforgiving beast)
sent here by the man
no he’d never understand
he’s waiting for the day to end
(shoulda seen it comin)
(*modulate up a half step*)
my hypothesis
don’t experiment on me
(that would look outta place in my movie…)
never dare ya…
