Girl, Don’t Come Around Girl, I thought I told you not to come around here with that smile But you disobeyed me and you made me think about you for a while And now you come around, walk into my life, looking so fresh and so clean But you haven’t lost your touch so lets give it a go if you know what I mean Girl, I forgot you were the finest, I I forgot how I used to boast, I I forgot about your flyness About the coolest fucking mama on the whole east coast So now your back, but I am gone But what’s a man to do when it’s been so long I realize your hurting, but your flirting, and you know that it’s wrong I have this feeling deep in my soul like I can barely move, I’m under your control But I have searched the whole world through, somehow the path I choose leads right on back to you Chorus So I will bring it back into the verse Because I’m all wrapped up in your curse I guess that things could be worse I need some loving, girl, so please quench my thirst

Slow Reprise 03:54
Slow [Reprise] Back in the day on my way and still growing Advancing on a damsel in my prime I wasn’t sure as to where this was going So I waited as she played at passing time And now I’m running for you, running for you, running for you I understood, still I stood, and I wondered I waited for my mind to make its mind I took a step I regret, I'd of won her If only I’d of played at passing time Baby, you should know, before I go give you some more And baby, you know, before I go, I take it slow

Split 04:59
Whoaaaa and we’re at it again One time loaded with locks atop my head Ruthlessly rooted, off fables they fed And locks are like rocks when your head can’t be found Top heavy I tilted till I tilted to the ground Whoaaaa and we’re at it again Deuce twice through with a wrinkle in my wit I thought I’d caught it, my sinister split But he had mistakenly taken my brain Said mister sinister, I insist I’m not insane Now I can tell you bout this crazy world I used to know Where all these fickle thoughts inside my head found ways to grow And as they grew their friends did too, inviting company So I, the host, proposed a toast and told them all to leave, I feel no pain We accumulate as much as we can And we acknowledge but we never understand Three rock in the palm of our hand We rock in a rock and roll band

Climb 04:13
Lately I've been losing, leaving luck to lead the way Thought maybe I could find another way to play the game Was looking for somebody to come save me from the day And there she was just listening to the music that I play I saw her sitting, staring, grooving slowly with a sway I prayed and prayed with each and every step she took my way Was looking for somebody to come save me from the day I found myself just singing every single word she’d say I will climb, and when I pass the sky, I will shine on for those who follow close behind Following the motions floating freely through this dream This never-ending notion of this ever-bending stream Was looking for somebody to come save me from the day It didn’t matter how 'cause she could save me any way She glows just like an angel and she sings just like a bird She plays my melody while she insists I take the third She was looking for somebody, and she found me on her way She brought me to a perfect place where I was free to stay I will climb, and when I pass the sky, I will shine on for those to follow close behind Open the doors, look up and down, this is your castle, here is your crown And they say, don’t matter where you’re from as long as you’re here Paradise was waiting for you, they whisper in your ear I will climb, and when I pass the sky, I will shine on for those to follow close behind

Smokeshop 05:06
Right lane riding’ rolling home from smoke shop Let down at smoke shop but won’t stop I’ll find my angel at the next stop Let down at shop I’ll drop On pace I glide along with such grace Like easy finger when it touch bass Good news awaited me at my place Left lane is best lane for this race I dive into a friendly conversation upon a sea of glass I’m thinking bout a civil confrontation, that left a heavy load upon my soul, but now I’m rolling to the smoke shop Staring down a broken bottom bowl hole The bandit with a diamond stud stole I played pursuit while he played run role But damn that bandit, man, he’s bold With haste I slip into my soul space Likely I’ll linger till I touch base Good news persuaded me: no big waste [need line] I dive into a friendly conversation upon a sea of glass I’m thinking bout a civil confrontation, that left a heavy load upon my soul, but now I’m rolling to the smoke shop I’m looking around I’ll search until I have found I’m looking around I am a king with no crown Plus I lack a queen, and I’m a castle with no ground
