lyrics

I come off as brutal, we might be feudal
In time you'll struggle with this
Your suffrage here, no like to compare
Am I everything you wanted to kiss?
You want more treasure, pain'll equal pleasure
I'm no so sure you'll resist
I'm tougher to face so don your disgrace
I was not so easy to miss

It's all about me being maximum
You being minimum
We'll be so medium and in time we'll settle for this
It's all about me being animal
You being vegetable
We'll wind up mineral in a gneiss cold pile of schist

OH YEAH!

I come off as cubist, it's all about the rubric
You won't solve me with a twist
I'm solid, alee, and you're followed by me
And I'm takin' you apart with my fist
You're lost and lawless, I'm offering no solace
Adrift while I wordlessly guard
You clawlessly scratch, your paws are no match
Aren'tcha sorry you stepped into my yard?

It's all about me being maximum
You being minimum
We'll be so medium and in time we'll settle for this
It's all about me being platinum
You being aluminum
We'll break through tedium
With your gold, myrhh, silver; subsist

OH YEAH!

I come off as rapid; you're left looking vapid
You try to get up to speed
The tortoise and hare never taught us to care
Am I everything you thought you don't need?

It's all about me being maximum
You being minimum
We'll be so medium and in time we'll settle for this
It's all about me being tangible
You being ethereal
We'll be so flammable in a white-hot fiery pit

OF HELL!

Where else are you going to get a lyrically perfect account of Mesoamerican structures delivered in a Beachboys-esque love song...? And every song is a different book...beautiful topkin
