This shit is therapy Yo, yo, yo, yo Today I saw my father for the first time in a year Was not but a bother but I may have shed some tears I turned my other cheek in fear of his gaze and recognition Knocked on wood and said a prayer, some rare superstition My disposition fair enough, given past tense sex positions Tex-Mex was in the kitchen, but my appetite was missing Panicked frights and manic flights, to laughter from contrition My left brain to my stomach sending writs of prohibition I lit a stoge, I kissed it, I missed my chance to kick his ass A rogue glance from the bastard could've shattered me like glass I tried to act all cheery, I tried to laugh and sass But couldn't drop the bitter tone, some harmonizing flats Baby Mabie's graduating that's the last thing on the dome Deer in traffic, no headlights, no yellow-orange cone My mellow, boring self-conflicted, slightly mouthing at the foam Griping bout the Alma Mater anthem rousing dreams of home Want to scream "Leave me alone!" A fat Doctor Manhattan But the proctor wrote "No talking!" on the cocktail napkin Words I've heard a thousand times, sounding like they're latin Blurring lines aloud, the sky is ground, wondering what happened? I'm tapping on my thighs, got Gene Krupa looking wry Been since Y2Koopa since my Soup-a-Cup supply was running dry Wishing I were high, but gravity too motherfucking fly Liar! You just too broke to buy, by the bye You told me to never lie So it's time for Show & Tell Am I just too broke inside? No more time for dreams of hell You told me to never lie So it's time for Show & Tell Never lie, never lie Show & Tell, Show & Tell Telling me to never lie, but telling me to never tell Not even 25, been to and back from hell Try to breathe for a spell, but I'm still tripping sack Recite the basics, you're awake, your name is Jack You're still alive, and you're acting like a quack The sight of Bill astride, gave you a heart attack I lack forward emotion, I will myself to calm it down I'm still having a moment, dreadful feeling the Devil's around kill my head-full of feelings, zombie-walking through the crowd Talking like my Daddy, fronting with my every sound Might just go and buy a pound to drown out all my thoughts Might go start a fire, ashy gown for the pen I use to jot this down You told me to never lie So it's time for Show & Tell Am I just too broke inside? No more time for dreams of hell You told me to never lie So it's time for Show & Tell Never lie, never lie Show & Tell, Show & Tell
