Water Tower Lyrics - The Impossible Kid - Aesop Rock

(Vita es morte es vita 

Life is death is life) 

Found nothing but the feathers and the skull 

On the porch like a present with a bow 

Dinner's in a black earth gutted and uncoupled from the patchwork 

Buried by a seven year cherub in the backyard 

Epitaph and all 

Disciple o' the cycles and sciences of birth in a fertilized hyacinth 

Life in the vitamins invited up to cypresses 

A testament to moxie in the miracle of lifelessness 

It's tricky when you'd rather rot into the soil as a nutrient 

Than navigate this mortal coil in human skin, dig 

The nuances of putrefying jelly 

Hit the levee when those feathers are a cancer in your besty 

And I pick a ginger gold that's fed by a drunken uncle 

One from a customer pumping that sumner blood work 

Remember them ascending settling any high scores 

Forty meters up with the heart of a high dive horse

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Impossible, impossible 

(Hold the fuck up 

Who is you talking to? 

Cause ain't nobody talking to you 

You can't do a motherfucking thing) 

I told my ex in '97 I was falling on my weapon 

Ripped the phone up out the wall 

The po dragged me from my bedroom 

An embarrassing ordeal involving hospitals and questions 

And the kinda doctors who use words like "cognitive" and "spectrum" 

While explaining why you're selfish 

To romanticize our rules 

And watch unruly roots 

Pull you to Lucifer 

By your shoes I mean, it isn't perfect 

Don't misconstrue the purpose 

Any urge isn't discernible from 

Community service to the kiddo 

Plus you'd make a beautiful widow 

But that's an altruistic ticket to a room with no windows 

Hmm you'd think he would've learned back in the eighties 

When they pulled him out of class over concerns about his safety 

But he didn't, it wasn't cause he doesn't get the message 

More he doesn't judge a man by how honorable his death is 

On a scale you made up anyway 

Half passed out to pasture 

Whether clapped your batteries in backwards

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Impossible, impossible 

(Check this shit out here 

Don't be trying to come all for me 

Cause you is not all of that with your fucked up haircut) 

I had a pet lizard, he never got an obit 

Fed him crickets, it was dead a fucking month before I noticed 

An older me would note that whether disposable goldfish 

Or theist, we certainly become the Earth as equals in a circle 

Meek until the spirit isn't willing 

While the flesh is still a staple of the labor forcing whistling 

It's roadkill evoking emotion his own totem don't 

That's a reality you evade or grow to own 

Social code broken, a hierarchy to gasp at 

Black labs over wet dads on the admat[?] 

Tabby[?] of a parasite, bats at the parish 

A civil war becoming of ungovernable atoms 

I'm born from the guts of stars and black tar pits 

Iron Maiden denim paint the devil under grawlix 

Crawls out a clawed coffin a huff and puff 

Somewhere in between the dust and dust 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Paint "No Rules" on the water tower 

Impossible, impossible
