The REAL lyrics, as per "The Living Human Curiosity Sidewhow" book published by Aesop Rock, are:
INTRO
This is not your ordinary ballad with a perfect little bow around the middle and a black knight on a white horse or a white knight on a black horse. It's got all these tired parts where we don't even sing and random princess raise the drawbridge we don't serve your kind. It ends where it begins and the beginning isn't pretty, can't forget that not-so-perfect bow around the middle and it goes a little something like this.
A.R. - Moon walking a broken sould pedigree incessant. Gut the cruddy frame. The zealouts enveloped inside the belly of the blame. Cutthroat's the result of pulp joke soaked in poacher constants, and not a jewel amidst coal wander prominent. Honor. I barter silk worms by the bucket like starter kits. Sew your first martyr stitch. Join damaged mammoth brigader caper. Nurse the tantrum with a fantasy chaser. I keep a spare wing strapped to my fuses in case the hackers snatch the plumage.
D.O. - So you mean these things are worth money now drifting off this is the who you calling homeless mighty fearful twisted and tonight I got front row tickets to the dead concert and your in it, Ichabod. Running out of morals for my allegory...Moseying and my kind of people will sell only circles... with my eyes patched in a not so new universe so I beckon and bray but my pretty bird just ain't muting the many...
A.R. - Oh it'll be soon. Balloon immune to doom blend. I ain't ditchin' the kitchen 'til every spoon bends. A Glance among tomorrow's sorry looking lot of hopefuls was the rain dance my little flint never dreamed would flutter potable. I sanitize nothing for the sake of contemporary taste, contemporary taste made my lip drop in the first place. Incoming. You wanna be a czar? Idolize fallen heroics, recognize root of the worship, search and hold it. Who put the fun in dysfunctional? I, prodigal son combustible. Donkey punchin' pinholes in uncomfortable Zen conjunctionals for good. The bear cubs slob a goblet of dirt wine. I nurse a sincle appreciation of introvert serpentine.
D.O. - A sunset with out a scrape of red and plastic bag noise sunk down around his head sick. Sick sick... Stealing a peak... There's sickness in the roofer's eyes and his alone and nothing terrible happened to the bag... Wrongs spilled off in and brought out on the clouds the hiss cut's out spills its voice into me and the window full of star is fresh kept from where I'm going or the other only other way art.
A.R. - I got charcoals in my heart, I got charcoals in my heart, I got charcoals by the armfuls that burn my armor apart.
D.O. - And before when I said, "Shut the fuck up, it's none of your business," that was to be in vein... Be sure to lock that up when you're all finished... Finished yet? Uhh... Well, you see, I usually finish this number with... my skull open.
