Uberplebs - Metamorphosis Lyrics

You borrowed sugar from the vacuum
Because your neighbours were busy
In the road with a broom
Sweeping the Mega City
Freestyled and homegrown
Juvenile hormones
Once in a while throned
As monsters of megaphone

I told you once that
You're only born twice
And you told me to rhyme that
With the best offer price
For a cowboy hat
And prophylactic device
You froze the water
Called it ice
And got wise

Row row row row your boat
Across the tidal bay
Merrily ferry me
Instars light the way
I'll sell you the suicide
Don't make me a part of it
The offside burnt the high tide
And flattened your next note
Heaven is but a dream
You're becoming apart of it
A trillion wax darts
Clarified and petrified
Inside to outside
Dreams are but a fly

You meet the sweet
A redhead stood with Ted
And treat the pretty
Stood up in the theatre
Pull up a pew, pa
You're at our seminar
A committee without pity
Sat on the tram back through the
Dodging heart of the Mutha City
Always been cold, sometimes shitty
A dead-beat's meet-and-greet
Chris, Alice, me, you and Kitty
A girl with Ted, her head is red

She's thrown you out
Here, catch a pillow
Longest-serving, only playing
But bold with no filter
What was my name again
My board, your basin
Our paint on the track, son
Came back as myself again
And sent the bill to her
Nymphs and day-walkers
Bond with the caterpillars
In the celluloid bullpen

As the plaza emptied
By providence directed
Gathered our board effected
How cheap of you to underbid
This thing up here is not my head
A fool orbed and sceptred
Unhinging freely accepted
Unelected, unobjected
Both sunny days short and fleeting
We missed two more induction meetings

Why put that germ in us
With no stops before terminus
You can't ostracise us
Bona-fide travellers, we
Cannot think how it went wrong
Against our best labours
Lost the determiners along with the song
But did what we could to savour
Blintzes, bongs and ditties
In the arse of the city
Naming new flavours

Infinite time for dining as
Infinite time landed on us
Shining and gleaming as
The singer sang a song for us
The restaurant ate along with us
Break fast your hearing
Ditties, blintzes and bongs
With abstraction engineering
Ted even brought a friend along
"I'd like to introduce," he said
"Miss Red" then retreated
The singer stood and sang
"When the guests arrived
I tried another song
People sang along
But the guests all sniffed
Crossing the great divide
To fund a mental shift
This is the song I sing
When no guests are appearing
This is the kind of thing
I only love to sing
When none will hide and all abide
Down at the bottom of the upswing"
They screamed, they cried
Because he'd tried
