Ain’t That Something 

There' a conspiracy

Against getting deep

I want to know just why

We don’t talk about

How we’re tripping out

On a planet, through

an infinite sky

I wanna know just why we say

“Where you from?”

“How ‘bout the weather?”

We both play a part,

both wanting better

gesture, for the sake of gesture, now ain’t that something,

ain’t that something?

truly offensive

truly offensive,

ain’t that something?

There’s a conspiracyagainst getting weird

I wanna know just when

we stopped laughing ‘bout

the upsidedown

we stopped listening to

the rhythm from within

I wanna know just why we say

“Where you from?”

“How ‘bout the weather?”

We both play a part,

both wanting better

gesture, for the sake of gesture, now ain’t that something,

ain’t that something?

truly offensive

truly offensive,

ain’t that something?

ain’t that something?

I like it rough sometimes

let’s step out of this line,

and get off-color

let’s take off all our prose

and let the poetry show,

oo yeah eachother

we say

“Where you from?”

“How ‘bout the weather?”

We both play a part,

both wanting better

gesture, for the sake of gesture, now ain’t that something,

ain’t that something?

truly offensive

truly offensive,

ain’t that something?

ain’t that something?

When all talk seems like

small talk seems like all talk

seems like small talk

seems like all talk

seems like small talk

seems like all talk seems like

mmm mmm mm mm mm mm mm mm hmm

ain’t that something?

aint that something?

there’s a conspiracy against getting deep

and I wanna know why
