lyrics

well, who said i can’t have fun while i’m dying?
tell bob, i’m busy dying so i can be reborn,
whatta time to be alive, with all these cancers, baby!
divin' in the deep blue me, to find some answers...
~
after years on the ocean floor i found my rebirth chart
it said, *“make living (not dying) itself an art”
“how long yuh gonna let that trap, gonna let that blackhole just suck your soul?”
“cuz remember, you were born in *the week of the unconventional”
~
i’m molting! i’m out of body!
oh-em-gee, ah-ha-ha-ha
i’ve entered the void
what is life? ah-ha-ha-ha
now i’ll mixologize my fate!
what the forer? ah-ha-ha-ha
turn retrograde to lemonade
~
just for fun i like to read my horrorscope,
it said…"on the path of life, i took that psycho-path"
well, death to false horroscopes
cuz i want those daily cliff notes from the cosmos
~
i feel the waves, i watch the waves carry away my old skin
**"at first it feels like giant waves...[but then] it becomes the ocean"
but i had to listen, listen, listen
listen, listen, listen, listen...
before ahhh-ha-haa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
before ahhh-ha-haa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
~
life is funny, life is dramatic!
oh-em-gee ah-ha-ha-ha
the millennials they got their religion!
what the forer? ah-ha-ha-ha
life is funny, life is dramatic!
what is life? ah-ha-ha-ha
samsara, sayonara
~
i think i can finally get away
baptize my selves in lemonade
and retire by the beach, watch that pink horizon, sunset my pain
cash all my checks that made hustling the zeitgeist
payment for my mind, for my body, payment for my spirit, and for my time
