Teleprompters The Uncluded

[Pre-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
Ever since I was a kid
On the backs of my two eyelids
I hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from who knows where
Walkie-talkie on a mission
Roger, roger will I listen
Or will I just pass it along
In the form of a sing-a-long
Whammies and Noids be void and null
I feel a tingle in my skull
Like ticker tape the words appear
There’s a parade between my ears

[Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
I preach self-love I know it’s true
It’s easier to say than do
I send these messages to you
But now I need to hear them too
I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable

[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]
I was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of dog toy
Picturing a life beyond that of a protocol droid
Bleep bloop boy ox boycott pea soup
First learn to eat paint at St. Peter’s preschool-yum
Now that’s a painkiller I can speak through
Airbrush letters on a pristine gene pool
See my mother said her father drew a ton
But all his cartoons had been swallowed by the Susquehanna flood in '72
The year that he would subsequently pass
I know he had a stroke but I assume that’s only half
And now I’m signing up for finger-drawing class in a tux like a gentleman
Marrying his ash to his dust
Last on the kickball team draft pick-list
First to the King Kullen practicing his kickflips
I’d like to say it’s ‘cause I was a rebel
Truthfully it’s easier to say “oh hell” instead of “hello”
(Hi, you need to get out more)
I dunno, I don’t wanna be there when the geometry domino
(You need to get out more)
Maybe, or maybe his pace is better suited for pacing
(You need to get out more)
Never I am nailed to the floor-I am snail under pressure
(You need to get out more)
Fine
