The Keys To Life Vs. 15 Minutes Of Fame - Atmosphere
[Pilot over PA] "Folks I know you're all dying to know how long-- I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to remain as technicians come over And take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give you an estimate I'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so." [Verse 1] It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my chest I've used cigarette butts and loose leaves to build my nest--build my nest Did I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess not But I'm not really convinced when you say that you're impressed--hell no The line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little thinner Now it's nothing but ruffage for lunch and punchlines for dinner--feed me I've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshine Wound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time [Chorus] The key broke off in the ignition humping if I wandered off through my thoughts wishing Hoping this could be for you but it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see [X2] It's the sure shot [X6] [Verse 2] See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it ripple--ripple But I feel I'm only being civil--civil When I sit back and giggle like the rest it's the ritalin-a-fest! I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never guess That I'm closing in upon the dredge Why? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess from who? It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll do Still trying to reach the kid in you So I may continue to find why this childproof's so wild I smile--smile, tired, I walked a thousand miles--miles Wired over the thoughts I've dialed--dialed Inspired by the monsters, the files of life full of stars and stripes [Chorus] [Chorus End] If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existance We'll need more than 15 minutes I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our real names If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existance We'll need more than 15 minutes I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our first names If you wanna sit with me and talk about existance We'll need more than 15 minutes I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame Push pause on the game...What the fuck's your name?
