Garfield Lyrics

{Rob Sonic}
diamond in the back
gun proof top
iron side metal mouth
kung-fu chop
one-way ticket
to a three dog night
when there's six million ways
to make these dogs bite
Carolina blue ruby
sequenced tar heel
Karras, try the soup
green Jesus car wheel
tattoo over scar
half a sleeveless arm shield
make yer girl wanna put 'em
on the glass like Garfield

{Aesop Rock}
staring contest Go!
you win, I was never good at that
always shook his head with any hooks attached
spit the beta hide for days
drag a trail of slime and waste
catch you outside quickie mart, the mini-mall, or time and space
I am too looped in systematic moving patterns
meticulously plotted with miniature pewter dragons
the dark heart news penny anti-necromancy
on to plan B, panic and channel the death of Bambi

{Chorus (Aesop Rock)}
key in the door when there's nobody home
oven is on and there's mail in the box
rocking the bells of a rotary phone
something awry in the way of the walk

{Rob Sonic}
Bandit and the Smokey collide on the way to Sturgis
meltin' down the silver from chains and then makin' stirrups
turn upon the news in a segment on wasted purpose
when it's death before dishonor
words before trade insurance
pygmy dark horse and poison place where the circle is
wolf pack legions and heathens that breed the virgin skins
rolled bombers Fedora complete with permanent
purple heart fastened to leaf of Adidas turtle tips

{Aesop Rock}
old water tangles
wet like a hell-hole
so sick spiders tattoo it on the elbows
death star rebuilt
cozy inside the milk bar
jukebox jonesing
for the tone to break the bell jar
zero miss lifting
split-screen, left side's friend died
right side, a witch's crypt grifting (Gross)
i'm cranky like nobody understands me
white tee, dagger in the back, nothing fancy

{Chorus}

{Rob Sonic}
mayhem of mosaic Passaic river of guppy grief
cause and effect to the timid limb of your hugging tree
cut in a 3-way divided amongst a rugby team
who can either take or leave em
or feed em game like it's Chuck E. Cheese
really rotten doctor shocks of the all stars
newspaper letters that'll end in his hallmarks
stuck in traffic stalled
stopped at the Walmart
while I beast
and then maul cops like Paul Blart

{Aesop Rock}
while I beast
install bombs in doll parts
pawn shops, stalwarts
(...?), broad swords
(...?) clocks, long darts
shock and awe sock drawer
porn drawn arms
jarred prawn hearts
I thrilled, killed, coked, and sold with raw matter
milled, spilled guts, and drums from Thor's hammer
document the war of the department store's Santas
from the POV of cameras hid in the dog's antlers

{Chorus}

Chorus:

Key in the door and there is nobody home oven is on and there is mail in the box Rocking the buzz of a rotary phone something to write on the way of the walk

Thanks for the correction, just updated it (after a long delay).

I'll keep working to clean this song up, but I have one more for now

stuck in traffic stoned stopped at the Walmart while I beast and then maul cops like Paul Bl(...?)

The last line is Paul Blart. Which was a shitty comedy about a mall cop. I originally thought this line was "and then Mall Cops like Paul Blart" But maul makes it a really clever play on words, which is to be expected from lyricists of this quality.

Lyric Correction

Added. Thanks for the help, it's really difficult to decipher some of these.
