contrapuntal Songtext
von R.A.P. Ferreira

The feeling of aliveness
Can′t say I've ever been uninspired or resorted to ass kissing
Even when my sammich had the bigger half missing
My advice for life would be to laugh and listen
Simple hillbilly in the city like Jack Whitten
Tryna′ barter at Guitar Center
Sixteen bars is warm dinner
Born sinner and saint
Victor used blood for paint
Abuse in my drank, trauma my cup
Diploma my gut
Burning bush out front (Burning bush)
Long day for Lone Wolf and Cub
Another long day, long day


Hey, hey-we-o (I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra, I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra)
Fly away, fly away (I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra)
Black Orpheus
Oh, you feel me though?

Nameless expansion of pain became en vogue to the insane
Dizzying dreams of falling
The audience refrains from applauding
Cat calling, God felt odd this morning
Gone commando
You were taught to make such nice noises on the piano
In San Fernando, spared by eloquence
Euripides and the usual embellishments
Admittedly, we was feeding 'em
They hated me for not needing 'em
Strongly worded letter to Mammon
Combination of grace and careless abandon
Has been a most effective strategy
Tattling, what did it actually cost ′em?


Flowers′ duty is to blossom
(Flowers duty is to blossom)
Flowers' duty is to blossom
To be beautiful
