Rasps and Rivalry

(hummmm) (ahhhh) I built a clock out of soda cans and chicken wire

Said it maps the very tilt of the world

They called the sheriff

just to put out my kitchen fire

Said I’m barking mad and my thoughts are all curled

(heh) They just don't get the math

They stare like cows at a passing freight train

Shaking their heads at my golden brain

Lean in right here,

don't miss a spark

Before I leave you in the dark

If you listen really closely

You can hear my genius rattle

Like a tin can in a cyclone Or an uphill losing battle

(yeah!) They call it crazy,

I call it art

Just wait until the masterpiece falls apart!

I spent three months teaching pigeons how to speak in code

Now they just poop on my best tractor seat

I got the universe unlocked on this dirt back road While the

neighbor leans over to call it defeat (ugh)

Philistines, the whole lot of 'em

They laugh into their lukewarm beer Too blind to see the visionary

here

Cup your ears and take a whiff of fame Someday

you'll all curse my name!

If you listen really closely

You can hear my genius rattle

Like a tin can in a cyclone Or an uphill losing battle

(hell yeah!) They call it crazy,

I call it art

Just

wait until the masterpiece falls apart! (grrr!)

(yeah!) (let it rip boys!) (whoooo!) (ungh!)

If you listen really closely

You can hear my genius rattle

Like a tin can in a cyclone

Or an uphill losing battle

(yeah!) They call it crazy,

I call it art

Watch my masterpiece

tear itself apart!

Told ya so...

(hahaha) Just listen...

(grrrr) Quiet now...
