[Verse 1: Aesop Rock] Bucket-seater theater sucks, I duck and weave Riddle of the pixelated ticker taking prisoners and a number please Name and occupation: Aes, I twiddle thumbs with underlings Orange eyes, head shrunk, age: a million, sex: drugs Barrel in escorted by a chorus line of bedbugs Low-tech dreck from his neck out of cement woods We come in pieces under siege and unwilling Kicking and screaming, creatures summoned to the feet of the city As the parking-ticketed guilty, Beetlejuice in the waiting room Ogling this bird who put the Double D in 'Day of Doom' Personal space invader dais, pay-to-play-to-lose If you can see a sitting duck grow up into a baying wolf Live Teller Number 7 looking weathered Like a decade in a glass box yelling shook her feathers Utter "Unto thee I surrender mine flesh!"

[Rob Sonic] Post office locked like it's jail time is setup Day-labor dimes with the climate of club fed up Walking with a panther chilling with a house cat Till someone patents building a better mousetrap Out back staking his claim to deep mining Bribed by the sheriff with tariffs that keep climbing Blinded by the light of the 5 train to Dyer Hook, line, and sinker? Horse, main, and sire
