Defender Lyrics - The Impossible Kid - Aesop Rock

Alex up the street called, said he saw a bobcat 

Keep the pets inside, notify your contacts 

New Salem 

Brave new voodoo 

Wave a witch hammer in a haven for the woo-woo 

I'm paper china dinner, mostly picking at my stitches 

The bloody hair, bad code, bunny ears, dad jokes 

Bitch about Lamictal to whichever vixen listen 

The skin rash, the schism, a million rash decisions 

In truth, he had a 'capital-T terrible' two days 

That chewed his plumage to the root 

And proved a prequel to malaise 

A feud he knew was brewing blew up in his face 

He'd been replaying the scenario for days 

With the variables replaced 

Meh 

Wolves are in the sky with more diamonds than the carpet from the Shining 

Part riot, part Orion 

We jarred a lot of lightning up 

Sa turkey leg or ten 

Maybe we deserve a day of rest 

Not to mention...

Alex up the street called, said he saw a bobcat 

Check your trash can lids, notify your comrades 

I said, "I'll take first watch" 

One AM defend the whole block 

The coyote, summon the ghosts of blown diodes 

Open to moving like a luchador with no eyeholes 

Fried while the pipes froze, life goes Lovecraft 

Christ pose, sitting on invisible hubcaps 

Call Alex back, daggers in the basil patch 

Tell him, "Maybe less badminton, more Scrabble Dash" 

"Less Jarts more Rummikub," whatever 

Keep the scallywag wrapped up in the subterfuge 

Gussied up, guarded, and wearing the same armor as the night he argued 'til he dapped his mans up at departures 

I could drive into a lake of fire 

Pay the piper COD 

Aware the pot and kettle shop, a little toxin equally, at least 

It's probably more the kid than the kid 

Either way a vital widget in the system is sick 

A sea of symptoms in the hinges, hit the room all at once 

All I could do was plug the roof with my gum 

For now I gotta...

Call Alex back, coyotes in the castle grass 

Tell him, "Maybe less freeze tag, more hack-n-slash" 

I said, "I'll take first watch" 

One AM defend the whole block 

So a third party, who is incidentally not Alex 

Seen a black bear catawampus by the college campus 

Soon the safety propaganda clamps breeds on leashes 

No compost, bird seed out of feeders 

Make a lot of noise when you frolic under the ether 

Keep a hand on the pepper spray 

Sneakers on the detour 

They're more scared of you, than you them 

Although, one of us chews limbs, and one has two chins 

Leave a couple messages, vomit a couple dollar bills 

Guilty innuendo romanticizing the potter's field 

Not sorry, but I never really was a leader 

Found money in the speaker, bought lower Manhattan pizza 

You meet a few exceedingly forsaken 

Sit around the cooler refusing domestication 

A couple decades pass and you can't even find the wavelength you was on when you was running one AM 

By the way... 

A third party, who was incidentally not Alex 

Seen a bear put a thousand chickens in a pot with carrots 

I said, "I'll take first watch" 

One AM defend the whole block
