"The Joker's Deal"

Astronautalis - Mr Blessington's Imperialist Plot, Lyrics here:  http://lyrics.wikia.com/Astronautalis:Mr._Blessington%27s_Imperialist_Plot

***READ TO THE BEAT
     OF THE DEEP BASS DRUM
     AT THE BEGINNING***

"The Joker's Deal"

Let's get the firsthand

And get things right

I see a bull-eyes in my sight

I tell these secrets to gain your trust

Let's say, nothing is a mystery for us

I have a trick up my sleeve, for everything

We can scape this land and leave nothing behind us

I can clear out rooms, in a single gust

I can hire liars of any size, I have simply nothing to hide

I have any suppliers, you may require to desire

Let's steal from easy prey, so what do you say

So I roll out the slip, eyes strain for the pamphlet

I will preach Hamlet, while I give you your packet

Let these lyrics gather your mind, and your attention too

Eyes start lingering about you

A secret unfolds just like magic,

When I crack it, this Matador's jacket

Take it and wave it, make the bull ballet

Make him suffer in haste

Dance and run with quick grace

Through the skyline cloud's habit

Now close your mind

And rid yourself of all gambits

Into the ring, into the china closet we go

Hand me your doe for safe keeping

Now sit for the show and watch me go pro

We see a bull snorting and bellowing his chest

He jumps like Jack be' Nimble, with a bit of Old Ness

In and out of towers of plates
Now don't make a mess

Will he crash, or take the cake

They ask if how it's done, can be leaked

One man, a few, a many, have stated

For this fine ass chuck and have laid down money

That he'd knock coins and shatter

His chances, and grow to be as cliché as a loser

So they throw down their deals and sell their taboos

But fools were further shown, as tools

And it's all because I have something to spool

Secrets vanish as I raffishly tear down these towers of plates

Full of fluff used as a get-away escape

Known from the beginning, when we sought the already caught

Opportunities that brought me you, then there to help me make my move

Blinded by trust and now abused, I take the lead

So I crash open your doubts

Of the things you dare not say or need

I ravishly shout and command your attention

Before you have time to think, or to make the connections

Did I mention, you lost the bet old man

This trick is as clean as magic

Can you fathom it, that the bull pulled through

Without a single crash, and me...I was all /dash too

I was like Nimble, and just played it cool

Kicked down to all knees, Hamlet here

Crying the size of thimbles

Grabbing your attention, while I pocket your pension

And simply easy the tension

Here is the secret, that has left us cringing for an ending

Leaving our minds in the clouds, and our eyes simply lingering

We get jitters and secrets wither, when we sellout to our bidders

Because it's all done with smoke and mirrors

And none of us can bear it, but can you believe it

We made it clean, we flash our flag signals and get

I do as I do, unraveling this spell from the beginning

It unreeled so eloquently, into my hands

Lathery silk was waved, and the trick was done

And no more is left, to bind me to you

Nothing more blinded you, from the truth

Success of today goes to the show, I tell to soothe

I own a few tricks of my own, and I am on a mission

Vanishing in smoke, they just call me

Magician

So here is my ride, and my end

And to you sir, "good day" my friend

Remember what I recommend

...Suspend...

End

Meh, what do yous guys think? Comments please.

By the way, Astronautalis is a BEAST!

"Old man's monologue."

The Killers - Mr. Brightside 
(Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Remix).

Lyrics here: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mrbrightside-jacques-lu-conts-thin-white-duke-remix-lyrics-the-killers.html

----------------------

...His pen and paper...

"The Old Man's Monologue."

And I just have to hit play.
This music engulfs me, it's the last one that I remembered
- Sir -

Uuuohhh......................................................................
Oh duh...
I wanted to hit play
This song...
It was a weird one...not yet so much understood
...not yet so much understood
It had a funky beat no doubt
It mainly had a focus, on how...
There is always doubt in our world
It was amazing...
I can't describe it's...loveliness
It was just right for the mood you know?
So it plays, and it makes me want to write
Right here...
Right now.
But I have a speech to give
As old as I am
I be 75...
And old man they say...
But I, oh I say much different.
If they only understood,
What I have to say.
But in there lies the problem,
They don't understand in what way,
I am portraying it.
I'm an oddball of sorts, one who wonders on things
Everything really,
There's the sinke
                                  *
                                     ^
                                           !
                                                 (
                                                                =
                                                                 I
                                                                 0
                                                                 I
                                                                 R---->.
They don't get my oddity.
And that's where I get my Lolr on.
I get my lol'ing on.
I bathe in my lolens.
Cute little things, that make you laugh.
See the word: AWESOME!
See the phrase: Done! and Done! Son!

As my monologue goes on
All I hope is that I am remembered
Before I die an old man
I am the caption, erm...Captain, Hardwood
That is my name,
It is Lance Hardwood

And basically

I make Justin Bieber look like a tool

I am the real stuff

I have roamed this woods,

For soo long,

I often got caught up

In my own gatherings...

In my own,
Mind...
Really...

Unexplainable things,

This is my badge,

So to speak,

That sounded like as a screech would sound...

It was scary,

And whoooo...did it make me jump like a clown.

- Sir...you are wanted on stage. -

Oh thank you Frank, thank you...

Oh you...

- That is a truly funny observation sir... -

Have a good night tonight.

- You too sir. -

I get lost in thought

I saw it coming...

But I didn't stop it.

It's my curse.

I think of the ,"darndest", things.

And then people get my attention.

When I am a' (*Insert falling "miss"* .

Pause = Correction.

I tend to ramble

Until I get it right the first time

When I am a' (*Insert falling*) "miss".

- Sir... -

Oh yes...

Here we are,

Here we go,

Let's go,

I have everything,

It's time to shine.

I just hope the light,

Isn't too bright,

When I have to make,

The last word mean the most,

For you see,

The best is at the last,

So don't undermine,

Your time.

Get shit done I say,

And I am 75,

75,

This is my brethren that I see,

In the mirror,

This is me,

And I can do things,

And here is my speech,

That I screech,

To the crowd,

At my feet...

And they listen,

Oh how they roar,

They are my sea anemone,

My fans,

They are my family.

And as I speak to the crowd,

They just take me in,

Into my metaphorical mirror,

That I can't spell ---

That I can't dispel...

And they love it.

And Oh how I...

Love them.

And "whoo",
How lost I get at the thought...

I love life.

Even at 75...

Love is in the air,

And I can't explain this story,

As my laptop lays atop my desk,

And the crown of my head,
Spots where they are balding,

That I just don't hide,

Just because I am...

Just that cool...

Old guy.

I feel like I am 20,

And I can't believe it...

They just don't understand,

And I can't explain,

For I am choked in memories.

I seem to know a lot,

A lot about everything,

I am the wise man,

In this new day,

And I don't feel like giving it up...
Anytime soon.

Yes...yes, that is what I'll tell them,

My friends,

That is the story I will tell,

Here at my desk,

I will tell the story of my being,

Of my adventuring...

Of your reading.

We will all experience all the same realization of life.

We will understand it all one day...

But not today.

So do not fret...

Not is all lost,

And no matter how much it will cost...

I will fix this damn mike,

And learn to speak.

Yes that is what I'll write...

And in the end,

It will all be a spell.

- We're ready for you sir... -

Oh yes...

Let's go,

We have a show...

You see...Sir

You are an actor in this play...

You have a line...

To say.

And even if the first word you say is right...

We all go wrong eventually.

...And I remember...

You aren't the controller of your life.

It just goes...

You are the controller of the controller of your life,

Yes...

That will be my last line of the night...

"So get it right...get it right."

"Good night...Good night."

"Heavy-Handled, Rattle-Battles"

Astronautalis - Two Years Before the Mast, Lyrics here: http://lyrics.wikia.com/Astronautalis:Two_Years_Before_The_Mast

"Heavy-Handled, Rattle-Battles"

None of them overlap

Faced to defeat feet

Looking down at a mirror

I saw evil, in my reflection

They seem to cancel each other out

Mocking creases snicker, loudly

Things are not always what they seem to be

I bulged away belts, and my dresses

I swing and sway, knocking over small things

Crying waves claim they broke their glass of water

Cogently heavy men, slosh in their in their high tops

Simply by walking by

This unforeseen being

This one kid

This one guy

Plots thicken, as the man entered his shoes

For the first time, she says his first rhymes

And this caught me off guard

So I discarded, the regard

Walking toes, and crawling fingers

Seem to linger, from the motherly whispers

I told you so

Not to call again, you eloquently scrawled

You walk from the room

In a bit dismay

Do the right thing

And tell secrets to this gawking way

Shake your booty, rattle his cage

Taunt him, and flaunt him

Give him his cute innocent rage

Pour the boy a drink she says

Rum-filled and milk-shakes

The lady sloshed onto the floor

Cooing men, stare at starry eyed eyes

Their caring harlots, they forever into gaze more

Silk blankets wrap his chest

His bran new leather jacket

Holding him close

You simply play a game of bump

You spill over the door frame

Clattering full glasses

In merriment before dusk

You gave way, to let a new day be

Dreamily smells of his scent, as you traded patter with him

His arm somewhere around your waist

Your fingers wet,

You were all with excitement

Magical drops from some of these gabbling drinks

The first date, where you meet, and greet

This extra, flubbing meat

Lift purses off the floor, replace it all

Give birth it all...even this full kitchen sink

Stare down the mirror, stand with lofty grace

Of what was meant to be

Even if new bumpings, happen in the future

Things are not always what they seem to be

So I say, swing those hips

And swing that cradle, you crease heavy girl

Hula-hoop around poles, and have a taste

Of a girl's mind

Oh boy!, you shout...with glee

Reflected rays gleam even in the darkest crevasses

As feet slip on the icy carpet, and fall into holes made of doubts

As you lay in the bed, legs spread wide

Foot-holds hold your feet steady

As the natural way, drops out of the load

We stand with our individual hands posted upright

We have a heavy hold, and kiss goodbye

The foggy breezes, from the bottom of this bottle

Time for one more game of peek-a-boo

When no more you have the time to doubt

One more doubt...In you

That you have met this boy before

Who forever fall from heaven

Holding his own, inside his ore-like

Shell.

"Two hands, on the basket"

Two hands, on the basket you silly rabbit

Dig your casket, wearing your gasket

Mast it, holding your mask set

Dark faces come in, and I shout, take it

Identified hides, hide in their eyes to be

Silly minds tell lies, as they are the ones to see

Tuff dogs barking, with a howling grimace

Twisted banter in coils, fright in the face of Mr. Rictus

Blackened secrets sleep, with hope of a dream

Deracinated at gun point

Plucked from the air, a stitch in the side you anoint

Whining eyes lay, on the hip of your disappointment

Lying there, sliding hidden cards onto the table
I have helped to grow the mice, that chew on my cable
Apt minds quip, with a slow attack

With a rat-a-tat-tat

Please just say what you say

And get it over with

I have dreams to cash in

As soon as I paint, on old Tom's fence here

Carry me like mother

Onto your golden, rotten fields

Preach me lessons that will sill the deal

I lay in your lap

And listen to stories of how I should kneel

I'm so excited

You don't even know

Sing choir! Sing

But you don't get paid, to run this show

Like potent notions of danger

Your eyes flair, with seeds from a manger

That fall like cradles

From my stones, of like a ranger

Hiding under the shade, casted from your Queen of Hearts

When I am an Ace of Spades, and am full of lard

Greasy hair stands down, and shines light on the lies

Of the farmer's goat, that keeps 'round the flies

Serene hands, pat my back

And others, hold knives

Making up, for what they lack

Attention hooters, blinded by their lies, and their big mac

Gloated heads fill the beds, of broken tragedy

Musky heaps lay on the floor, dead as you could be

Powdery fingers, whisk their noses at me

Shouting antics, something about a free spree

And I just shouted enough, until they looked at me

I was happy enough, but still not about my history

Foreign is different enough, but you keep stilling their luxury

So I shoot down your constant news reports

Of how you cheated a man, out of his old consortia

 

I be how we be, let's be us over there, babbling about something
About someone giving you, some sort of disrespectful stare

Care about my wear, it be so shining

As they bling'd their watch, with such daring lining

Please just stop talking, you rabbity bitch

And clean the floors, with your teeth in pinch

Rusty tiles fall from the sky, and chain down your last wish for a lie

When I cast away, your first spray
When you boast so coldly...

"Hey!" and not a so nicely put, "Goodbye."

Crossfade - The Unknown, Lyrics here: http://www.lyrics007.com/Crossfade%20Lyrics/The%20Unknown%20Lyrics.html

"Paradigm"

Paradigm,

Lay it out for me please...

I am in need.
Plant your seed,
In my head.
In my heart.
Lay my stars,
Upon your chart.

Oh The Great I Am,

Big Brother, Uncle Sam,

Brahman, Sandman,

Please...

Lay my plan.

Inducting,

A man.

Through my inductive reasoning,

Let me paint you a picture...

He who stands.

He who sits,

Who flies,

Who tells no lies...

Introducing...

My spirit.

Who rises,

Who raises,

Who soars,

Who floats,

Who never gloats.

Let me establish...

My world view.

Let me, tell you...

Here,

Let me give you a clue.

Let me familiarize you...

With my book.

So you can learn,

About me.

It's as clear as linear continuums,

It's as simple as can be.

My proof,

Of theory...

Lies,

Here.

Let me be your seer.

You are ignorant,

Until now...

Without me,

You couldn't see without this cowl,

My blanket,

But please don't yank it...

It's these threads
They just can't take it

Be easy, be gentle.

Don't question...

It's softness.

Let it take you aloft,

Let it clear your nose,

When you have to cough.

Be mystified with its greatness,

With its conflation.

Bury yourself...

Beneath it.

Let it swallow,

Your being,

Your soul.

Let me be your all,

Let me solve...

Your problems,

With my grand knowledge,

And understanding.

Trust me...

My research is without stranding.

I am Holy, as holy as One can be.

My word,

Has no holes.

I am perfect...

In every way.

So don't stand,

In my way.

Don't fight...

Just let me be,

Let me...

Make you see.

Believe,

In my say.

Bathe in my blood,

My protection,

That comes from my gray,

Thorns, that lay,

On my head.

Let me set you upon my shoulders...

As high as you can be me.

But remember,

You are nothing,

Nothing without me.
You don't wear the crown,
So now bow down.
Don't make me plea...

That is your job.

My home,

Of riches...

Is where you want to be.

Reality is split in half,

So test yourselves, on my earth,

And we will see,

If you are worthy,

Worthy of me.

Do not be tricked...

By those other,

Golden calves.

For no one,

Can give you what I have.

I can give you wealth,

Beyond your wildest dreams.

Ones that include...

Spending time,

With me.

Let us break bread,
And pass cod...
Lord knows,
You are hungry for more.
I can cure your blindness,
As long as you make me your Highness.

You don't need anything,
More than me.
So be happy.
JUST BELIEVE!!!

Just do good deeds.

And you will be freed.

Heed to my words,

Feed...

Agree...

And all will be well,

With me.
This is my decree.

Pick me,
Or I'll lay you across my knee...
Slap your wrist,
With my chains,
And send you to Hell.
So please hear,
My well sold tale.

Or your soul is sent,
To a stranger, my brother...
A fallen angel.
The devil...
Me or Him,
You must choose...
But through me you win,
And through Him...
You Lose.

---------------------------------

Just want to say...I'm not an atheist. I am saying though...know your religion, be open-minded...and to not fall to twisted banter.

"Glass"

Linkin Park - Faint, Lyrics here: http://www.lyrics007.com/Linkin%20Park%20Lyrics/Faint%20Lyrics.html

"Glass"

Who are you to spit at my fire?

You think I am not important,

Because I only whisper...

Oh please tell me, oh great one,

Tell me ---

What did I forget?

See me,

Teach me, preach me,

Sell me,

Pocket me.

Raise your glass,

Keep on your mask...

Command attention,

With a note worthy of mention,

Spit it, as you wreak.

Breathing it in,

You smell reek.

I have my mirror.

I think I'll be okay.

Save your spray,

I have no whores to pay.

I know your name,

And how you are,

How you be...

Bitch, don't lie to me.

Do not bathe, in what you did not pour,

Do not bathe, with dwindling candles in hand.

I have my glasses...

I think I'll be okay.

Save your rays,

I have no shame.

Oh please tell me, oh great one,

Tell me ---

What did I forget?

See me,

Teach me, preach me,

Sell me,

Pocket me.

I have my scope...

I think I'll be okay.

Save your antics,

I have no choir to pay.

Self-important teachers, teach...

About voids in space,

And how they pace.

Growing louder by dimension...

They suck off, the tiniest of stars.

Lying in space,
Headed, to break the day.

Who are you spit in my flame?

You trying to blow me out, too?

Because I flicker...

When I just want to see you on your knees,

Head in your hands...

Crying your eyes out,

Begging for forgiveness.

Why would I want to hear, "I'm sorry."...

I have my glass...

I think I'll be okay.

Save your tears,

I make no waves.

Only my harsh whispers,

Haunt you,

As ghosts.

...and to that ---

I raise my glass.

And say,

A prayer.

Run.

Wild Beasts - The Fun Powder Plot, Lyrics here: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858789838/

"Run"

Run, run,

As fast as you can.

Step up your speed.

A life is on the line...

And time is real.

Cold feet, slow your pace...

As nervous as they are blue,

They are weakened bamboo.

Bones brittle, with a lack of snow shoes,

Your feet hurt, and your knee shivers,

Your spine rattles.

Please be hiding.

Please be safe.

Don't run...

For your toes can't take it.

Be shy,

Don't whimper...

Don't cry.

Hold your hands

Around your shins,

Lay your chin

Tight with your wrapped arms.

Keep those warm,

Help . . .

Is on the way.

My fingers tremble,

And they shake . . .

Through this blistering cold winter

I wake, thighs high,

I must crown the white queen.

My gut hungers for her...

My chest heaves,

My pores,

Breathe.

My body seethes,

With chattering cold teeth.

I cover my neck,

Gray hairs frozen.

I shake away the ice.

With warm fingers,

My fur, I vice.

I yawp and I pant,

I lick snow covered lips,

My eyes soar...

Through clouds,

Dazzling frigid mist,

I claw my fist into the cold ground

And cover the snow with a trail of warmth.

My trench grows,

Rested on my shoulders.

And as my heart accelerates,

I stride longer;

I trample with lasting effort.

Many howling faces,

Haunt her dreams...

Yellow eyes to watch.

Breath weak with shivers,

Mind tied into knots.

Hooked nails twitch,

Hunched sway . . .

With a lurking itch.

Fanged teeth,

And monstrous maws.

Snouts sniff,

For fresh meat.

They are after her,
She looks away.
If she hears its brayin.

She hopes help is on the way...

Because here she cannot stay.

For she lacks any headway.

So close,

But no . . .

Still afar.

I bound through this wreck,

With steady clenched eyes,

My lust now direct,

Across this frosty field.

My glowing eyes,

See partner.

Where we dwell,

But I do not wonder.

We are instinct,

Nothing else, we are bothered.

Through the blizzard,

A light, I see.

A cave, can it be?

Harshly laid rumors say,

It is where, the evil will lay.

It is where I will enter,

Into the core...

It is the cure,

Where destiny lays.

Where the mind frays,

A buffet,

That hears, fear is delivered,

Upon a plate.
Served with running souls,

Not caught...

Only freshly slayed.

Love you. :D
