[vocal improvisation recommended]
Spinning through my days in a sideways haze
Laughin’ at the world in my own strange ways
Every little mess is a memory parade
I keep myself company, I’m my own parade
Teacups dance, socks sip tea, pancakes spin away
Just me, just me, keepin’ company today
It’s a quiet spin in the cosmic haze
Another rapper tossin’ out the same cliché
I try to glide through the hours without losing my way
But my mouth trips up, as usual, every day
I’m tryna sharpen my expression
Swap the milkshake for a green obsession
Bring back the wonder of childhood’s confession
Before it slipped away
I’m reckless and cautious, foolish yet aware at the same time
‘Cause I read stories where saints were wild like rock stars
Spinning through my days in a sideways haze
Laughin’ at the world in my own strange ways
Every little mess is a memory parade
I keep myself company, I’m my own parade
Teacups dance, socks sip tea, pancakes spin away
Just me, just me, keepin’ company today
And miracles flowed like vintage wine in bars
I wanna rescue a penguin from a crowded zoo
Dream of a goat that wears a little bow
Cut the tension, keep my calm in view
Maybe paint, maybe sew
My teacups are doing the cha-cha on the windowsill
Gotta pace myself, I’m smokin’ like a doorway
Another glass of brandy fades away
You know you wouldn’t doubt me
I can throw a party, drift back to the scene
When I sipped my rum, feelin’ serene
Teacups dance, socks sip tea, pancakes spin
I used to pray to a chubby little elf
Till I found out he lived on someone else’s shelf
Turns out the magic was never really felt
There I go cussin’ again
I’m my own rival, my closest friend
The one who ends it and starts it again
Take me back to ‘84 once more
When I swallowed a grape, it rolled to the floor
Felt a vine grow inside me, I swore
Every hop I made, it shook the floor
The leftover pancakes have formed a tiny theme park
Gotta slow it down, I’m smokin’ like a doorway
Another bottle of whiskey fades away
You wouldn’t put it past me
I can reminisce, laugh at the day
When I poured my rum and ran away
Tiny pancake rides spinning in my kitchen, it’s just me
Keepin’ myself company
Hey mama, are you laughin’ at me?
I sent a note to Burger Queen
Gotta do something to escape ennui
Before my boredom eats me clean
Like fries soaked in too much grease
Minutes drippin’ past without release
But I swear I’m tastier than that
Like fries used to be before the fat was capped
My socks are having a tea party with the goldfish
I gotta pace myself, can’t blow away
Another shot is gone today
You wouldn’t doubt me anyway
I can throw a party, reminisce and say
How I tipped my rum in my younger days
Socks sipping tiny cups with the goldfish, it’s plain to see
Just me keepin’ company
