everything is a castle 
everything is a castle when
got something to build and wield and siege
and impale like a knight 

my friend says there's no holy cow
my friend says there's no holy 
well name-dropping more syllables the better
pretension, big words 

i guess i'm striving for
rational affectation

overlooked words, missed text, forget the frame 
of mind i need to keep myself in: tame

my pride is the real holy cow
my pride is the real holy
coherence is superfluous 
when all you really need is a knife

(your song
nausea stirring up my faults
lift up your skirt, give me a hand
get back to work, on call) 

scratched a key with a record
scratched a key with a record 
well couldn't stand the sound of my voice
so i bought a big place, marrying my

and all by flaunting my 
rational affectation 

do they know that i'm disingenuous?
i fear this part of me could be insidious 
big words sound good but intention's obscure 
i'm left without substance or candor

what i am
and what i mean
could i know?
is it me?
am i known?
am i there? 
could i know?
and would i care?
is it me?
am i known?
in this place,
i'm alone! 
is it there?
is it me?
would i know?
i can't believe i wrote that down. 

(from your face to) everything is gay! ...

rational affectation

nebulous

you spit something
into your hand

if I could hit ya, you know I’d hit ya
I hear your heart beat twice
and when I bump it, you’re all up on it
come on, don’t be nice
alright, go

(come over here)
I take his hand
(I wanna have you near)
oh, what a man
I hope he sees, I hope he sees

(I like the way you get down)
I’ll do it again
(I wanna slap you around)
I wanna see you sin for Beasty sees
and I can feel him coming for me

I’ll be your funny bone baby, hey
I hit ya all the time but you never stay
so let me be your funny bone baby, hey
I hope you sin ‘fore him

I spit the gum
(mmm)
onto your thumb

uh-huh, you know that if I could chew ya, you know I’d do ya
you give me one slow eye
and when you bump me, you think it’s funny
you’re such a funny guy
alright, go

(come over here)
I take his hand
(I wanna have you near)
oh, what a man
I hope he sees, I hope he sees

(I like the way you get down)
I’ll do it again
(I wanna slap you around)
oh, won’t you push me down and scrape my knee?
Beasty, Beasty’s coming for me

I’ll be your funny bone baby, hey
I hit ya all the time but you never stay
so let me be your funny bone baby, hey
I hope you sin ‘fore him
