I Went Outside Today
Open Mike Eagle

Yeah, I feel so fly today

Emerge from my very narrow heel-toe hideaway

My bad, like what people that steal old lighters say

I told the emperor to get real clothes right away

I'm focused enough to knit a whole sleeper quilt

And train tunnels moving through people like a Peterbilt

I found where all of my confident voices are

I'm feeling free twenty pounds on my oyster card

Goin' ahead with my Dwayne Wade looking ass

I want a stupid mic stand carved from a wooden staff

I'm tryna relive days that I couldn't grab

I looked up what Lena Dunham said and I shouldn't have

I don't know how I ever faced the odds

As a child I played grab-ass and shot paper wads

I matriculated up by the grace of Bob

Used to licks macrame, cricket, and decoupage

I'm tryna find true moments

Rick Martel's cologne can blind you Hogan

The American part of my mind's too swollen

If I was a font I would hate Times New Roman

I travel light like a choir can't

A modern satellite's equipped to spy on a fireant

Which is cool 'cause them fuckers is dangerous

I'm tryna learn to face, fuck!

Yeah, I feel so uppity

Peter Piper picked the purple stuff before the Sunny D

Summer pants, all of my receptors up and under siege

Itchy middle fingers triple lindy out of the ugly tree

Snap, Crack, show him to the closest blooming Onion

Reclusive Koopas moving out the dungeon into gundam

Money run along, sleeves up Tero on his upper arm

Sneak around a thousand crows peppering the front lawn

Bite a bat's head off before doors

I forge you the recipe bork bork

Quarter a draw everything orbit a filling biosphere

Pioneer of pestilence my stylus is a science fair

The future primitive is skitching off the pace car

Rebel yell except for when he whistle by the graveyard

If I ain't home wiping spittle off the space bar

I'm tryna be the first jarred brains on a face card
