Yeah! This is a national message! N.A.S.A. worldwide! One Take the spotlight off me. (take the spotlight off me) |
| [00:21.63] |
Verse (Kool Keith) |
| [00:24.30] |
I remember when the Cubans was first on Broadway. |
| [00:27.39] |
With dark and yellow gold, |
| [00:29.28] |
I was 11 years old. |
| [00:30.96] |
The inspiration was spread out like a blanket, ask em. |
| [00:33.99] |
My discovery was beyond the pick, the Lee suit, and the afro. |
| [00:37.92] |
Now from the flair jeans on 169th and College. |
| [00:41.28] |
Watching the dude lean on one-seven-o, |
| [00:43.86] |
With a Kangol 'cross America, |
| [00:45.99] |
I saw the hippies cross. |
| [00:47.94] |
By Herc on Technique needles syncopated time was on time, |
| [00:51.84] |
The same time as the Beatles. |
| [00:54.18] |
I was up there watching James Brown's pockets, stuffed with Jolly Ranchers, |
| [00:58.68] |
When the NFL had the Rams in Los Angeles, |
| [01:01.80] |
Charles Finley in Oakland, |
| [01:03.60] |
And my kindergarten moment was the beginning. |
| [01:06.30] |
'Til the Caribbean people came to New York and the sheepskin was bought. |
| [01:10.68] |
The wind breaker! |
| [01:11.58] |
Chorus (Tom Waits & Kool Keith) |
| [01:12.54] |
The building never fall down. |
| [01:15.78] |
They are the teeth of the town (spacious thoughts). |
| [01:18.39] |
They crush us up in they grind. |
| [01:18.99] |
The meet and bone of the mind. |
| [01:22.98] |
We gather here on the block (spacious thoughts). |
| [01:27.51] |
They key broke off in the lock. |
| [01:29.19] |
I'll meet you down at the well. |
| [01:31.98] |
I'll meet you down at the well (spacious thoughts). |
| [01:35.67] |
Verse (Tom Waits) |
| [01:36.39] |
The balloon drops down at midnight. |
| [01:39.00] |
Stranglin' the monkey with the hands of a clock. |
| [01:47.19] |
Good can't help but do a little evil. |
| [01:51.06] |
Evil can't help but, |
| [01:54.15] |
Do a little good. |
| [01:54.57] |
Who's that singin' in the kitchen by the stove? |
| [02:01.92] |
All aboard for the night train! |
| [02:05.52] |
They say the moon, it smells just like a cherry bomb. |
| [02:11.25] |
Come on home. |
| [02:13.56] |
All is forgiven. |
| [02:17.01] |
Everything costs. |
| [02:19.26] |
Deliver us from evil, |
| [02:20.85] |
And carry your own cross. |
| [02:23.01] |
Chorus (Tom Waits & Kool Keith) |
| [02:24.51] |

Bridge (Kool Keith) |
| [02:48.12] |
The time gathered with poppy seeds and grass. |

Growing nobody faster than Jesse Owens. |
| [02:54.18] |
With everything I'm seeing and knowing. |
| [02:56.25] |
London Heathrow, |
| [02:57.66] |
Walking through the airport with green Pro-Keds. |
| [03:00.66] |
Sixty-niners from the designers, |
| [03:03.27] |
Tom McCann above the hill, |
| [03:05.16] |
Next to my man, Lou Man, |
| [03:07.50] |
The cardigan sweaters, |
| [03:09.03] |
They still stell the New Eras now at Jew Man! |
| [03:11.49] |
Bridge cont. (Tom Waits) |
| [03:12.36] |
Ghetto Buddha in the second set, |
| [03:16.50] |
Breaking out in a cold sweat. |

I'll meet you in the music. |
| [03:22.47] |
We meet in the music, |
| [03:24.81] |
Those we never met. |
| [03:27.36] |
Keep dancing like there's nobody watching. |
| [03:31.56] |
Everyone can win the toss. |
| [03:34.20] |
I may wander, but I am never lost. |
| [03:35.70] |

The building never fall down. |
| [03:36.87] |

They crush us up when they grind. |

The meet and bone of the mind. |
| [03:46.98] |
We gather here on the block (spacious thoughts). |

I'll meet you down at the well (spacious thoughts). |
