Gopher Guts - Aesop Rock

Gopher Guts - Aesop Rock
Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts;Explain Poolside;
0 for 1 and don't forget spoons twice
Lukewarm folgers; mold on his moonpie
Rooms in his home that dissipate into fruit flies
Suicide lane wide load ride looting in the
Wake of an amicable marooning
My duty go from moving in
Packs to sharing food with a cat
(To Moms:) "it's me
I accidentally sawed a woman in half "
She said "i'll keep you in my prayers
" I said "i need to hide a body "
She said "ok honey talk to you on friday "
Apparently we share a common plasma so
The growing disconnection doesn't matter
According to the
Blood-and-water chapter weird
Who wrote the blood-and-water
Chapter anyway
Probably some surly dad; only child
30 cats
Looking for a way to reconnect
With an averted past except
It doesn't always work like that
Today I pulled three baby snakes
Out of moss and dirt; where the wild
Strawberry vines toss and turn;
I told them "you will grow to be
Something inventive and electric;
You are healthy you are special
You are present " then I let them go
Oh
You were sitting at the gate
Awaiting spirits and provisions
I was privy to a headache
Over pirouetting innards
In the mirror sweating pictures;
Who's there: simian or lizard
As it were there is a disappearing difference
In ambition and material;
Antiquated gentleman outlaws
Reduced to a ferris wheel of vitriol
Move as a godless heathen;
Black gums tooth gone bootleg
'Yukon Cornelius'
I'm a that's better here we here we go
Disenchanted face printed on
A zero-dollar bill
Got a little plot of land
Where authority isn't recognized
Contraband keeping the core of
His Hyde Jekyll-ized
Check nevermind a misanthrope
Vying for affection to the wretched
Sound of mysticism dying
It is something he must handle on his own;
The wind blown way wanna win don't play
Today I pulled three green frogs
Out of leaf and bark where the
Grape vines climb a convenient barn;
I told them "you will grow to be
Something tenacious and exalted;
You are mighty you are gracious
You are lauded " then I let them go
Oh
I have been completely unable to
Maintain any semblance of
Relationship on any level
I have been a bastard to the people
Who have actively attempted to
Deliver me from peril
I have been acutely undeserving
Of the ear that listen up and lip
That kissed me on the temple
I have been accustomed to a
Stubborn disposition that admits it
Wish it's history disassembled
I have been a hypocrite in sermonizing
Tolerance while skimming for
A ministry to pretzel
I have been unfairly resentful of those
I wish that acted different
When the bidding was essential
I have been a terrible communicator
Prone to isolation over sympathy for devils
I have been my own worse enemy
Since the very genesis of rebels
Today I pulled three ghost crabs
Out of rock and sand
Where the low tide showcased
A promised land I told them
"you will grow to be something dynamic
And impressive; you are patient
You are gallant you are festive "
Then I let them go
Oh
(On and on and on and on )
