Dessa - "I Already Like You"

716 - Mind Drift

boomer

VERSE 1
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are
The picture and the sound won’t synch
And some things time can’t fix
I’m built for nights like this
Don’t mean I’m proud of it
And the rose in my teeth
Was a pin so it seems
You pull it and brace to blast
Get ready for the bang and flash
Alright just one last dance
make it fast

Prechorus
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me.

VERSE 2
There’s a dozen selves inside you
Tryna be the one to run the dials
And some aren’t even on your side
When the hunger comes and finds you,
only code it knows is rote survival
you’ll do the rest in your spare time
Tryna get that universal feeling
in an invite-only private room
guess the ring came off in the glove
Looks like you pawned the silver lining
Around the cloud that follows you
Guess that good old push came to shove

Prechorus
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me.

HOOK 1
Out in the water
You can’t touch bottom
It pulls you farther
Life on land forgotten

Verse 3
-4 bar instrumental-
The world rolls over
I’m pulled under
Stone cold sober,
But I feel nothing.

Bridge
I’m just a girl
In the body of a boy
In the belly of a whale
You can’t be sure
This far from shore
Which winds prevail

Prechorus
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me.

HOOK 2 (double)

OUTRO
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are

Dessa - "Life On Land"

Verse 1
Ever since I was a little predator
Mom’s like, don’t get ahead of her
I was on the hunt for something better than the regular
And I knew there was candy at the register
So not about to settle for the vegetables.
Full grown, still got a sweet tooth
still tryna climb all the walls I can see, you
take your influences wichoo,
everywhere you go.
Mine were Carmen Sandiego
Lauryn Hill and Terry Gross.
But I’ve been playing hard to keep:
Kiss and teleport
Dark roots where the bleach won’t reach
Man, that’s gotta be a metaphor
But I’m still tryna storyboard it
Call me back if it’s important
If you’re looking for me
On this Tinder shit about partners in crime
Seems like Bonnie’s working little harder than Clyde
When it comes to the heist, doesn’t feel like a partnership
Cuz my accomplice is completely incompetent.

Nonsense 1
(Twizzlers)

Verse 2
Two bars walk into a joke.
First is a gold bar, other is soap.
Yo, lemme get the punchline I’m worth most
Gold says with a glass too full to toast
But Soap makes her voice go real low
Leans close
Rarely one to go boast
But when the banks hit the button, the credit goes down to nothing,
And the flood waters come in, then let’s see who floats.
Watch for unintended consequences—those you don’t see
The initials of your girlfriend could kill the fucking oak tree.
Nothing in my pocket but the body heat
Travel light, and mind your manners, man
That’s my foreign policy.

I’m that Netflix chick,
See the pieces on the ceiling—
The strategy above me
All the moves when I’m competing:
I’ll arrive by lightning bolt
Leave by cannonball
The china’s fine, man
The bull’s mechanical

Nonsense 2
(Robots)

Outro
A base hit is the son of a pitch
A tanning bed is the sun of the rich.
Son, keep your knuckles up, front of the fists
Don’t go broke, looking for something to fix
