Keep Off the Lawn
Aesop Rock

Good eveningnAlrightnYeahnHappy to be breathingnYeahnI am alivenYeahnn(You look like you’ve seen a ghost)nnMost copiousnRains soak the opiatesnNotice how the phobias appropriately procreatenWoke up with a ghost farm focused on his groceriesnWhen they aren’t telling stories they are multiplying grossly nOn the lawnnLet 'em loiternNever let 'em spawn nThe aberrations have been drinking this water for too longnSo when they gather by the bird bath in the morning he will tell 'emn“I mean no disrespect, but you have all outstayed your welcome”nInteresting in a sensenInterrupt commiserating phantoms on your picket fencenHow quickly they will lift their headsnAnd breathe an ultimatum like “the dead don’t argue”nSet your living by the bayonet, but how alive are you?nShit, A is all juice and bad etiquettenElbows on the table, lobster bibbin' on the readynHe said “but how alive?”n“I don’t know homey, you decide”n(“No you decide”)nFine, how alive?nToo alivenHow alive?nToo alivenHow alive?nnToo alivenAnd one by one around the yard ‘til each one felt communal pridenLike they had done a little part in cleaning up the publicnWith a steaming plate of justice for them Easy Baker stomachsn(say what?)nWe the legends that home with the unremembered nGeriatric lore in the clutch of the budding censornWho snuck around the art police and all related governmentsnTo infiltrate a human lung and hike up off his tongue and lipnAh… money’s in the market for a mother-shipnDouble as a vessel that drag its legacy under itnAnd who am I to hang them out to dry by the heap?nWhen if rehydrating fails, we’re all dumber because of menZombies of the antiquated nation chatter quietlynThe too alive channel from the library of rivalrynAnd summer's in the mudnWinter's by the tracksnNo story goes untoldnAes is backnnI got a handful rocking the same poker facenDown to dance around the table like they own the placenI got the whole world thinking it’s a holidayn‘Cause they can smell the chum in the water from miles awaynn(You look like you’ve seen a ghost)nnHow alive?nToo alivenHow alive?nToo alivenHow alive?nToo alivenHow alive?nToo alive
