Aesop Rock - Limelighters

(feat. Camp Lo)



[Aesop Rock:]

Pain cave uno

Smokin' a broken Blue Note

Tar pit escape artist carcass, linger in the blue doze

Rose radio Lazarus via linear bark screaming

"I'm back to kill the video star and I'm double parked"



[Sonny Cheeba:]

You can kite this or yet maybe baby you won't

Corvette, green Mercedes, steady one hundred four

When I'm stuntin', simply stunnin', funkin' with twenty monkeys

They can be like "I'm talkin' about WE"

Slap that orangutan, drop her on her knees

Please be very cautious, the funkin' makes me nauseous

Hate the Bogota, the target it ain't off it's...right here

And the volume's on three



[Geechi Suede:]

See, we keep the black plastic stuck in the elastics

Even Chevy's heavy hallows lift you higher, legend has it

White crows crossing broken bridges

double deucy clickin' but the round never runnin' out

Pounds of your blood just comin' out



[Chorus:]

We Limelighters

Up until the uglier unplug me

We limelighters

Kill it now, fade to black comfortably

Spark the dynomite till the limelight's gone

As far as I can see the limelight stays on

And on and on and on

The limelight stays on and on and on

The limelight stays on and on and on

The limelight

So we got something built if we all die tonight



[Sonny Cheeba:]

She piss champagne and shit caviar

Don't watch the stars, the stars ain't fallin

Any sight of glimmer...Lo

Shimmering king, spring, they're tremb-ling



[Aesop Rock:]

OK, the web (web) spread (spread) from Brooklynites to born in barn kittens

Who's gimpy half step hid behind Noah's Arc systems

Inconspicuously clustered with the boas, sharks and pigeons

Like Zoo York won't clock them rusted crutches up mopping the ship deck

Texas hold 'em pocket ace investment

Totem altimeter tiki torch it

Freak abort, fold or hold a cold cell in peak enforcement fortress

That's a sheep corpse who under penumbra turned tail like a sea horse



[Geechi Suede:]

We got that...permanent ink, that's stainin' the paper

Murderer's drink steamin' my soul, I'm breathing green vapors

We them last of them falcons that's soarin' beyond your altitude

Please show us some gratitude, we're carvin' your grave for you



[Chorus]



[Aesop Rock:]

16 D batteries (back it up)

See the halflings flee the Shire before he tore open the packaging

Plus, minus, in proper Panasonic alignment

Pseudo Pliskins O.D. on kick drums

Snake, escape THAT environment



[Geechi Suede:]

Wave that colt .44

Bolts of ligtning with Travolta grease

Strip your skeleton, it's swelterin' inside Miami Heat

Your fishnet and red vette are sizzling

Shoot through chocolate city

Wonder Woman went whistling

Freeze, presidential sleaze with Egyptian cuts

Valentine Ave., Jack Daniels out of them plastic cups

Winter white pinstripe lookin' Hugo

Poison Ivy out the windpipe blowin' the crucial



[Sonny Cheeba:]

First they line up

We'll divide them

SUEDE get the roscoe, then design 'em

AESOP Rock box, drop the hot rod getaway car

And head up the rock highway



[Chorus]
