Ben Folds Five - Wandering lyrics
Verse one:
I’m rated "r"...this is a warningya better void
Poets are paranoiddj’s d-stroyed
Cuz I came back to attack others in spite-
Strike like lightnin’it’s quite frightenin’!
But don’t be afraid in the darkin a park
Not a scream or a cryor a barkmore like a spark;
Ya tremble like a alcoholicmuscles tighten up
What’s thatlighten up! you see a sight but
Suddenly you feel like your in a horror flick
You grab your heart then wish for tomorrow quick!
Music’s the cluewhen I come your warned
Apocolypse nowwhen I’m doneya gone!
Haven’t you ever heard of a mc-murderer?
This is the death penaltyand I’m servin’ a
Death wishso come onstep to this
Hysterical idea for a lyrical professionist!
Friday the thirteenthwalking down elm street
You come in my realm ya get beat!
This is off limitsso your visions are blurry
All ya see is the meters at a volume
Pumping lyrics of fury!
It’s a ....fearified freestyle!
Terror in the stylesnever error-files
Indeed I’m known-your exiled!
For those that oppose to be level or next to this...
I ain’t a devil and this ain’t the exorcist!
Worse than a nightmareyou don’t have to sleep a wink
The pain’s a migraine every time ya think
Flashbacks interfereya start to hear:
The r-a-k-i-m in your ear;
Then the beat is hysterical
That makes eric go get a ax and chops the wack
Soon the lyrical format is superior
Faces of death remain
Mc’s decayingcuz they never stayed
The scene of a crime every night at the show
The fiend of a rhyme on the mic that you know
It’s only one capablebreaks-the unbreakable
Melodies-unmakablepattern-unecscapable
A horn if want the style I posses
I bless the childthe earththe gods and bomb the rest
For those that envy a mc it can be
Hazardous to your health so be friendly
A matter of life and deathjust like a ethch-a-sketch
Shake ’till your clearmake it disappearmake the next
After the ceremonylet the rhyme rest in peace
If notmy soul’ll release!
The scene is recreatedreincarnatedupdatedI’m glad you made it
Cuz your about to see a disasterous sight
A performance never again performed on a mic:
Lyrics of fury!
A fearified freestyle!
The "r" is in the house-too much tension!
Make sure the system’s loud when I mention
Phrases that’s fearsome...
You want to hear some sounds that not only pounds but please your eardrums;
I sit back and observe the whole scenery
Then nonchalantly tell you what it mean to me
Strictly business I’m quickly in this mood
And I don’t care if the whole crowd’s a witness!
I’m a tear you apart but I’m a spare you a heart
Program into the speed of the rhymeprepare to start
Rhythm’s out of the radiusinsane as the craziest
Musical madness mc ever madesee it’s
Now an emergencyopen-heart surgery...
Open your mindyou will find every word’ll be
Furier than everI remain the furture
Battle’s tempting...whatever suits ya!
For words the sentencethere’s no resemblance
You think you’re rufferthen suffer the consequences!
I’m never dying-terrifying results
I wake ya with hundreds of thousands of volts
Mic-to-mouth resuscitationrhythm with radiation
Novicane ease the pain it might save him
If noteric b.’s the judgethe crowd’s the jury...
How do I plead to homicide?
Lyrics of fury!
They’re getting furier! a fearified freestyle!
