MAINT REQD, push through the pain | |
What the flame does not consume, consumes the flame | |
We'll burn it at both ends, it's safe to assume | |
What doesn't consume the flame, the flame consumes | |
MAINT REQD, push through the pain | |
What the flame does not consume, consumes the flame | |
Burn it on both ends, we're hoping and praying for rain | |
[Verse 1 - Sage Francis:] | |
Listen, a lie is just a lie if you believe that they'll believe it | |
Otherwise it's some sly legal speak so we keep our secrets | |
Our rap lineup in a silk robe | |
They prance around the home like princesses obsessed with kissing every toad | |
But ain't no prince here | |
In fact, I had to slay the dragon I was chasing for the warts to disappear | |
And dissect the frog, cut through the fog and do my thing | |
In the land of the pigs, the butcher is king | |
This is two-hundred and sixty pounds of ground meat in a town sound sleep | |
Countin' cards while they count sleep | |
Now I'm on a sacrificial lamb, it's collapsing an iron lung | |
Had to remove the mask and ask what kind of trash am I among | |
Caught in the widow's web the black spiders spun | |
Taking a beating so ancient that it's basically a tribal drum | |
I'm seeing stars and constellations | |
Seeing warning signals in the Universe's dashboard they're all saying | |
[Hook:] | |

[Verse 2:] | |
Paint me like one of your French girls | |
Use my neck as a scratch poster, rip out every last one of them red curls | |
Knit me a sweater with the intestines of attention whores | |
Of no expectations of the tribe I'll have to settle for | |
Circular logic is foul talk, mental sex for sport | |
Abuse me like customer support (I'll be your tech support) | |
I'm sorry to hear you're having problems | |
It must be difficult, let me see if I can help you like--figure 'em out | |
Have you listened to Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" | |
Have you tried turning me off and back on again | |
If you Make-A-Wish on a foundation there's maintenance required | |
All I ask is you be careful when you state what you desire | |
They say Satan is on fire without breaking a sweat | |
All that pagan shit is tired so I'm taking a rest | |
I met my date at the pyre she was shorter than I like | |
But wore a dress that's as long as the night, then I saw the light | |

[Verse 3:] | |
Yeah, I’d settle on a bed of rusty nails instead of roses | |
‘Cause a song by any other name is so earnest, so forth | |
So what, I got blood on my mattress | |
Got a harem full of knife throwers who use my back for target practice | |
I fucks with them | |
types | |
Inherited this cutlery along with the scars, they all look alike | |
Used to write confessions in between the lines | |
And used to wear long sleeves so no one else could read my mind | |
Now I exercise my right to bear arms when I write words | |
The last polar bear taking a last stand on a melting iceberg | |
Where nothing is exclusive—when holding confidence | |
Sex could get abusive—but everyone consents | |
Anything that’s lucrative—gets reduced to checks | |
And now you’re wondering where your fair share of the bit of profit is | |
Sorry kids, the piggy banks depleted | |
Had a million dollar smile, but not the pretty face that’s needed | |
I’ve seen torture but I’ve never tapped a bottle or twisted the cap whenever they passed the forty | |
I’m fat boy disorderly nothing fun about obesity | |
But recently, I toyed with it morbidly | |
Cordially invite you to the incredible, mind that bends metal | |
No spoon is safe, no fork is too special | |
Essentially we all know how the story ends | |
How heavily the plot twist depends on a little bit of | |
Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance | |
[Outro:] | |
My house bitches lololololololololol |
