The Mayor and The Crook

No more pencils, no more books

I built the city out one brick

It had a mayor and a crook

I made the crook stab the mayor then slay himself in the guilt

I stole the brick back and migrated east, now, let's build

Every tenderfoot cadet bettered slit-throat percentages

Chicken penmanship tied the thirteenth knot (Hangman)

I arrange panoramics of a placid cataloguing where wild dogs sing tailor-made lullabies tried by my offspring

I'll bring the butterflies and he can bring the centipedes

And she'll bring the cadavers set 'em free and let 'em feed

The deviltry penciled me in, but I slept thick through my alarm clock

Silly Billy hid in the barn while farmer charmed the crops

And I'm a warden

My tongue is full of glass

Because I promised my friend I'd chew up the bottle

If he truly drank the poison

I'm alienating the mating dance of the higher, ire-based, tired-faced, miser-made God clones

We can manufacture medicine

Patent the five digit slide clock the essentials in (I'll be a bill collector)

My destinies resting with red worms chewin' off the carcass anyway

Let me slay artists for tips in the penny tray

By the way if that diamond ring don't shine

That's cause I bought it at the five-and-dime but don't neglect the sentiment

I'll pedal my tricycle through the F-5 logistics of a twister

Soaked in the religions of a nit-picker

If I botched the operation I apologize (Sorry)

The err's rooted in carbon

I'm but a mortal archer parked in amber waves of starlets

I'm fresh out of Gepetto's woodwork asylum

See the frame, wire-bound knuckles

Let a tug of the puppeteer steer my hustle

Now when a page becomes a squire, be engaged, clap your wings

When a noble's demoted hope it don't sucker-punch the colony

But when the catapult releases lease your claims behind the bunker

And fasten stinger pageant results to the public eye (Glory hunter)

Is it genuine enough to feel, baby felon?

Negotiate comradery or wilt

My dismal little little loom

Purged urgent with dirty dominion monitor boxes

Hovering inches 'bove pertinent urchin toxins

(Now) You ain't excused from table side

Till the dinner plate's spotless

Slurping' liquid happy citizen enhancer

I got this slicky sycamore handshake

That mimics digit splinter entry

Thereby filtering citizens tin man prior to axe descending (Tight)

Cats know the ambiance, calm beyond comparison

Captain passive spring loaded serenity

I'm trying to give this city acupuncture

Shovin' one-way pins in subway systems

Standing up where I'm landing', now that a runway victim (Push, push)

Nature's gone batty, spreading spore legitimate

Slice the bishop, sever the ties, splinter the kinship

See every now and again I love life but hate to admit it

Cause it spreads the jinx upon a sleeping cynic

No more pencils, no more books

I built the city out one brick

I had a mayor and a crook

I made the crook stab the mayor then slay himself in the guilt

I stole the brick back and--

I'm quadruple six plus scruples category mayhem stems

From one overlooked scene including loopholes

When Christ studies the return ramifications

I'll burn the campus to impress him

Then rock like Medusa glances

Who ran the final mile before the blanks blown?

Home alone sipping beetle juice

Just to numb it, then shimmy the needles loose

I built a castle out of fifty-two cards

Plus jokers, wit, and image

Modern theory charges while remaining harnessed to the vintage

I'm valid hypothesis honoring Occam's Razor

With a seam sewn via fatigued knuckle work (Labor)

I've patched the little leakage in the shell around my greed

In case Tommy Turbulence located The Matrix that impedes

Whistle me a dirge, falcon boogie burst classic

Bastard repellent fell in haunted machines screened by similars

Got beckoned like a suicide king to the dagger surface

Due to one queen who lodged her faith inside a broken circus

Me and my stargazers from the woodwork serve the furnace

Omit the discoloring on the lung then stung the serpents

I cherish the Ferris wheel's revolutions

It's not because the ride enthralls

More simply to the fact that it still revolves

Nursed in a bracket of televis, plastics and saccharin (well)

I oppose mass panic

Thoroughbred fantasy cadets pose with a latch key demeanor

Returning to find a home vacant with no similars to compare days with

Let's build!
