R.i.f. Lyrics - Singles - Illus

INTRO: 

Oh, what a crazy feeling 

You got my heart reeling 

Oh, what a crazy feeling 

You got my heart reeling 

VERSE 1: 

There was a light in the attic where the sidewalk ends 

And the giving trees bark protected it from the cold 

And I could see your brown bear where the wild things are 

Asleep under the twinkle of a little star 

Wishing I was a prince on an island of treasure 

Forever young, living in a land of never 

Where grim fairy tales always have happy endings 

And those without a voice have a Lorax defending 

Children pretending, playing and laughing 

Imagination, innocence, the youths compassion 

Action and adventure and amazing fantasies 

On a watership down, surrounded by enemies 

A teen titan fighting secret wars 

Where god loves, a man kills, and life endures 

The last hunt of a phoenix saga 

The return of a dark knight in positive armor, I 

CHORUS: 

I love the words, the pictures 

The voice that speaks to me 

I love to live lifes treasure 

The music sets me free 

Take me away, lets roam now 

Off to the new adventure 

Another chapters written 

They say well live forever 

VERSE 2: 

Im just a catcher in the rye picking flowers for Algernon 

A mad hatter on the fly fighting Babylon 

Writing sad songs, watching the world spin 

Like Huck Finn rapping with the trees blowing in the wind 

Never giving in, and never giving up 

Fact, told em never fitting in I never give a what 

And I dont care why, cause I dont know who 

And when it happens Ill be where I gotta be and do 

What I can, with my own two hands, 

Until the death of a salesman protecting my fam 

I love to rap, so I rap for love 

I live for my wifes smile and hugs 

And I struggle with pain, and fight to stay positive 

And remain sane in the light of all lifes got to give 

Through the grapes of wrath and the apocalypse 

Like the great Gatsby, there aint no stopping this 

[CHORUS] 

VERSE 3: 

I knew a king who knew the measure of a man 

With strength to love like grandmas hands 

In a land where the sun also rises 

He gave a farewell to arms and a dream that was priceless 

The generation of swine on animal farms 

Obsessed with fear and loathing, in love with bombs 

Rather learn the art of war than peace 

A revolutionary life to fight the beast 

He kept motorcycle diaries, writing on the road 

And we laughed denial that wed ever get old 

I grew up, and never let the dream die 

Like an invisible man in a time machines lie 

It was 1984 when sucka MCs dropped 

And ever since then I knew I wanted to rock 

And I do it for the love and you know thats true 

Even though I hate the game, its a catch-22, cause I 

[CHORUS] 

BRIDGE: 

(Can you feel it) Its just something I feel 

(Can you feel it) Its just something I need 

(Can you feel it) Its something that I believe 

(Can you feel it) Its just something I breathe 

ENDING: 

Oh, what a crazy feeling 

You got my heart reeling 

Oh, what a crazy feeling 

You got my heart reeling 

Oh, what a crazy feeling 

You got my heart reeling 

Oh, what a crazy feeling 

You got my heart reeling
