babylon in the basement

from botanical castings by the lentils

lyrics

the demonstration of the babylon in the basement
really caught me by surprise
the exploitation of some young drunk constellation
never could get the neighbor's hearts to sympathize

they left their ethos and their theory of the zero
underneath the bathroom sink
and still it haunts me every morning when i go joggin
and the neighbors all look at me like i'm seeing things

a babylon was found in my salad
someone call the cops and tellem i died
and someone hit the lights
cause i'm naked and
i'm only made of circles and squares
and i don't have to care
about the practice bloom
cause everybody knows by now
where i come from

i think it's funny that the blind think the sun eats
only what it cannot find
while science tells us that the heavens are still jealous
of the smells and textures of the human mind

a babylon was found in the basement
someone call my mom and tell her i'm fried
and i don't have to try to be finite
cause every now and then i question the craze
cause i don't wanna flake on my 7th house
cause everybody nails the bloom
where i come from
