Mr. Mickfield & The Skeletones Lyrics

As of this moment I am living two lives
Up goes the down slope, trying to uphold the bonds
and bones that hold the upper most throne
Could I be the king once and future, or then again,
could I be the clown, the paralyzed mountain climber
Barely rhyming to survive, sometimes the show live can seem like concrete,
to retreat from, I pay fifty bucks and then some
Back and forth, bus trips and bus stops (like Q-Tips without tops)
forget the co-op, I'm repackaged into box
In a month I will be restocked and resold for fifty bucks
and then told to pay my own ransom or lose my traction
and forget about this jester juggling action and over-exaggeration

I'm losing new friends for best friends
and my lonely life for only love
But it's been said by past live pound sounds
'music would watch you drown'
and stick around to catch the fire of another
Right now this music is drowning me
in a sea of 'hellos' and 'goodbyes' and 'beep beeps' that fly by
Where I am people say 'f*** you' and they mean it,
where I'm from and going to
the words are 'f*** you' meaning 'how do you do?'
Look at me drinking so much ginseng ice tea
that I'd swear I've peed the orient in a sea
of energy rapidly siphoning me
If you could swim outside then you'd know what I found
I'll be the only one who cares in music I'll drown
microphone
stable bone
in this shaky
skeletone
Am I trading two lives for a million or million lives for two?
Oh yeah! a boo boo I forgot I am mathematically dyslexic
This vexing's hectic hexed and perplexed erect
Then wreck my own respect detected and then detached '"a sec-
I need a mic check to forget and infect this
Outlet is getting worn and torn I tear and tear my hair from head
instead of red and blue my colors are sinking, sorry

TAKE SHELTER '˜cause we're gonna explode (uh uh)
You know, we might implode
They're taking SHELTER and this is their last chance to grow eyes
