Lyrics

As I was flowing on St. Ide's My tongue got tied up ooh-seven times And every signified took on seventy signs Like everyone has ooh-several lives And all the wonderful words you speak! And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh! And the dangerous company uh-you keep -- Where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for support! So "when I get to troubles with language," Well you see why it's hard to make the words "so heavy" fly And I'm on a mission to recognize This context we create in linear time And all the wonderful words you use! And the world comes into shape around them, oh-woah And the desperate company uh-you choose -- Where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for support, so! Like, is what you say what you say, aside From the story that I write that brings you into focus in my eyes? And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives? And would I then be the King of Time? As I was flowing on St. Ide's My tongue got tied up ooh-seven times And every signified took on seventy signs Like everyone has ooh-several lives And all the wonderful words you use! And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh! And the dangerous company uh-you choose -- Where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for support! So "when I get to troubles with language," Well you see why it's hard to make the words "so heavy" fly And I'm on a mission to recognize This context we create in linear time And all the wonderful words you speak! And the world comes into shape around them oh-woah And the desperate company uh-you keep -- Where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for support, so! Like, is what you say what you say, aside From the story that I write that brings you into focus in my eyes? And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives? And would I then be the King of Time?
