Pyramids Cream

i'd be willing to bet
we hadn't made it there yet
he who comes close'll
still die and forget

the things that we learned
which flowers to burn
the lies i defended
uprooted upended

and every single night
when darkness seeths light
i descended
i descended

and the middle of the earth
there's only one way to get there:
in an elevator
baby

i tripped, stumbled
come up feelin' humbled
life's a bouquet
flowers get fumbled

so i begged and i pleaded
the sea it receded
i went back to work
had all i needed

and every single day now
when the sun hits the sky
i say 'i isn't very smart
but i get by'

and in the middle of your life
take to livin' right
and ye can be mended
because time it bends kid

this scene it just screams
we can't all live the dream
but sir have you heard
about pyramids cream?

little by little
i climbed up to the middle
my skin it stayed soft
i worked myself brittle

and if i whittle my time away
would i get to where the righteous blaze?
and if i ain't been perfect
would i be damned or deserving?

the gold egg seems hackable
if what you eat's mostly natural
akhenaten used it
made soup
reduced it
mmm
