Don't fool with his cool

I turn a staff to a snake and back, evade -

Shake a 5150 in shades and a fake stache

Dirt bike made of five worse bikes, uphill

Tabletop frames on Dutch tilt, crush kill

Maker bot coin-op arcade punk

Talkin' arcane science, dark age pulp

Four eyes carb face, Bar-Kays iron on

Pork rinds orangeade, Jarred brains die alone

No mulligans, crow bars bird cage

Cold, colonize Mars on Earth day

And surface from the cellar door like worms into the petrichor

Messenger, better get a vessel for a Tetris score

Zilch, cowabunga homies call me "press ignore"

Devastatin' energy explodin' off his Tesla coil

Farm bated breath and temperamental tremors

That taught a man to wave with 10 percent of his fingers

And I never lost tic-tac-toe to a live chicken

For the footage, I'm off cam dynamite fishin'

For diamondback rattles in his holy grail

Evoke colony collapse via gross betrayal

Three wolf moon shirt, two shoes, one sock

Wore the same hoodie everyday like Mumm-Ra

Buh-dum-bum, follow the regenerated rebel flesh

Outta sorts, outta water, suicidal tetra fish

Who stood by the conviction in his we should be together less forevermore

Before we are the severed heads of civil war

Invasive radio ricochet off the silver foil

Trash can fire lookin' for a kill to grill or spoil

Quickly, purveyors of fine hijinks

I know, this is why we can't have nice things

I prefer to skip the pleasantries

Flip the diner table, dip in time for final jeopardy

Nope (no sh-, no sh-, no)

Oh, and don't fool with his cool (no sh-, no sh-, no sh-, no)

Ma, can we get a pool?

Is that a no?

Okay, magpies, hoarders, and allied forces

Who lick zigzags bein' dragged by horses

Transcribe stories in patterns of pins droppin'

Skinned boars and exaggerated limb-loppin'

Slow Mozart, no I've never heard of knockin'

Might've burst in on it, splits or skin poppin'

Opt out, sober on the eve of no saint's day

Locate and aim for the token propane tank

Bang, followed from a pullin' of hair

To a homecomin' sullied by a skull on a spear

It spun a human resources issue to public affair

Reciprocity is a pestilent compulsion to bear

And ultimately unfulfillin'

Concurrently, that rigid upper lip and grudge are cripplin'

The wonder twins of -

Armchair hater, I wouldn't - on your coffin

But when I see your picture, I draw - on it

The Ozone breakaway tux

Holds chicken wire ribs, paper mache guts

Pipe cleaner mustache, rope hands google eyes

Macaroni gas face, no plan to humanize

You are now rockin' with the worst

Nothin' up his sleeve, nothin' here is what it seems

Paranormal weather, mysteriously disappearin' bees

Not to mention the collateral delirium it breeds

Jeez, forgive him any dicey past

He from a tiny town called Death's Icy Grasp

And he don't get out much, but when he do, it's Beatlemania

Do not be asleep at the feet of his feelers radius

Too charitable, offerin' the average Joe some real estate

Between the Big Mouth Billy Bass and jackalope

Cozy in a moment of bliss

Snatch the food off your plate, snatch a goat off a bridge

(No sh-, no sh-, no sh-, no)

Oh, and don't fool with his cool

(No sh-, no sh-, no)

Uh, we gonna need more fuel
