Retrofuture 05:05
Hair Kid back and I'm jumpin' in it heatin' up the tip and I'ma tin it never cold, I ten out of ten it flyin' through time, like David Tennant DJs call on the doctor who knows because I treat the cause, not just the runny nose people call my lyrics "rhythmic prose" freestyle's ok, but I like to compose I suppose I got a yarn t-to twirl someone said they only call her "the girl" good men drown in the wave her hair curl she take 'em on down to the edge of the world waves and hearts, they break around her 'cause she wait and hide, just like a flounder she outta this world, just like I found a third kind of a close encounter (though it seemin' like she knows that she can) makin' them deliberate moves (take another look she zonin' again) she fallin' way behind the groove ('cause like a butterfly, she flow with the wind) flakin' out, I think that proves if you want her, she's got you (レトロフュチュリスチク) livin' her life like it's a retrofuture she's forgotten in time, and now she's lost her way all of our lives are just a retrofuture take it back to the body and mind of past day (hair kid wait) she's makin' me stop (isn't this the flow you had in android pop?) it's a concept, girl, a rhythmic prop (oh I get it, electrohop!) spinnin' as I let the beat go right about then, the girl, she let go lookin' like こしじま としこ before Capsule went electro swingin' hips, like Abracadabra intricate, like a candelabra movin' seductive, never macabre can't pronounce it, but she have the sensibility to fake it, and fake it she can 'cause no one looks past her olive skin tan she keep it ambiguous, kinda Greenspan ask her "what sexual?", she say "pan" (though it seemin' like she knows that she can) makin' them deliberate moves (take another look she zonin' again) she fallin' way behind the groove ('cause like a butterfly, she flow with the wind) flakin' out, I think that proves if you want her, she's got you (レトロフュチュリスチク) livin' her life like it's a retrofuture she's forgotten in time, and now she's lost her way all of our lives are just a retrofuture take it back to the body and mind of past day on a cold train platform see her shiver in a coat, guess it don't keep her that warm but whenthe locomotive pulls its cars up her eyes stay transfixed where the stars up somethin' in the air, somethin' in the sky suddenly she lookin' down and breaks into a stride gettin' inside the train car right before the door close floatin' through her life, like a mortgage about to foreclose livin' her life like it's a retrofuture she's forgotten in time, and now she's lost her way all of our lives are just a retrofuture take it back to the body and mind of past day

Love and War 06:05
just another day in the deep, here because I gotta do it never wanted to, but I know I gotta power through it even if it's nothin' to it, I don't care to pursue it I should be chasin' down the one thing that was there until I knew it now it's gone, and I don't believe it wasn't took I want, I need to find it, but I don't know where to look I'm gonna lose my mind if I can't even find a shred around call me Marlowe, gotta keep my head down so for now, it's a mystery one that cause me misery like it's somethin' out of retrohistory all that I'm seein' don't make sense to me sittin' on the fence to me seemin' like it might be too immense to me intensity inside of me, I'm forced to keep a lid on it piper at the commodore, gotta put a SID on it sippin' on a 7-year until my mind's spent all the while I contemplate and wonder where she went girl, come right back to me if you can't, take a pen and write back to me are you alright? lack of me and you has made the colorful white black to me it kinda makes me sick to think that I may not have been so quick to think it kinda hit me like a brick to think that maybe you could be the Rachel to my Rick so I'm thinkin' 'bout the last time I saw the girl that changed the way I live my life she was on her own, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, the last time I saw a fight I was paralyzed, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the first time I saw the girl, it was a while back kickin' it, when suddenly I'm hit with a smile that went through me like a slug from a PKD said the way that she be lookin' be retirin' me I'm tryin'a see if I recall when he entered the picture he had a lot of confidence, then I saw he picked her I thought it's yet another case of luck passin' me over but I never saw what's comin', way she angered when he told her.. man, the Rachel to my Rick, maybe even the Ilsa to my Rick if I was able to stick to what she said but I had to be a gumshoe, not a left foot doesn't change the fact that I can't stand what he put into my head, still resonatin', got me turnin' red I knock back a stout, and then collapse into bed and so I agonize over the way her eyes had nothin' in 'em the way I couldn't be there when she needed me to get him girl, come right back to me if you can't, take a pen and write back to me are you alright? lack of me and you has made the colorful white black to me it kinda makes me sick to think that I may not have been so quick to think it kinda hit me like a brick to think that maybe you could be the Rachel to my Rick so I'm thinkin' 'bout the last time I saw the girl that changed the way I live my life she was on her own, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, the last time I saw a fight I was paralyzed, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, I'd never seen her lookin' like she had lost control, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, there was a bright flash of light then the girl was gone, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) just another day in the deep, here because I can't amend it now I'm livin' with the guilt, 'cause I just can't pretend it didn't happen, can't forget about the girl, can't forget about her eyes under cloudy skies, weather that I'm sure'll never change anymore, but she said as she was drawn away a swan song, a rain song, a "Ten Years Gone" the way she left me with a plea, that's a lock without a key (meet me at the speed of sound, meet me on the sea) last time I saw the girl that changed the way I live my life she was on her own, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, the last time I saw a fight I was paralyzed, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, I'd never seen her lookin' like she had lost control, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war) the last time I saw the girl, there was a bright flash of light then the girl was gone, I couldn't do a thing (don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)

yeah, no no oh no, no it's been a month or two, since I've seen you I don't know what to think, I don't know what to do under the blue glow, the two of you glow I hit a new high, I hit a new low so what's the low down? I gotta know now is this a good time? or this a showdown? I wasn't countin' on you frownin' are ya smilin'? or are ya drownin'? I'm at an age where things begin to mean less witnessin' people around me start to dream less call it cynicism, call it growin' up it beats adolescent drinkin' where ya throwin' up but I think it's makin' me ache when it rains seemin' like I got another case of growin' pains never had to analyze what a kiss meant but since that night, things seem a little different can't stop thinkin' and she want me to feel I can't tell what's in my head, tell what's for real still I try to stay on top of the situation imagination runnin' like I was a Temptation reality in theory should be keepin' it at bay but I'm a little prone to gettin' carried away, so now baby girl, keep it real with me, I just need you to deal with me why? because.. I had a little and I like the taste baby girl, ain't got much time to waste but I feel a little bit out of place baby girl, with my hands down on your waist because I joke a little, but I keep the space baby girl, never stole a single base and now you're lookin' me straight in the face tell me, girl, what's the case? touch me tender don't need to say a word this time this is my september approach me with an open mind just touch me tender don't need to say a word this time this is my september approach me with an open mind so I'm out of place, steppin' out of pace if she wantin' caps, call me lower case after I kissed her, I kinda pissed her off and when I was alone, I kinda missed her I want to serenade, I wish she would have stayed emotion revealed, but where's the ocean maid? got introduced to it, I'm not used to it now she won't hear me talk, so I produce to it what I'm tryin'a say is that she worked her way under my skin, and I just don't know what to say usually I keep it on the level, keep it mellow but if she was a bow, man, I'm feelin' like a cello while I'm thinkin' she and I would make a real nice mixture interpersonal relations paint a different picture the slope of my intent is gettin' kinda steep never sweat sociality, but ties run deep situation reminiscin' Romeo and Juliet but where that was a tragedy, I only want a little bit tell myself "Hair Kid keep it together" but she pushin' me and pullin' me just like I was a never I thought I wasn't prone to gettin' bent out of shape but if she lukewarm water, call me a bathin' ape so, girl, know you're mad and it ain't ideal but don't sweat how I feel, girl, it ain't a big deal, 'cause.. I had a little and I like the taste baby girl, ain't got much time to waste but I feel a little bit out of place baby girl, with my hands down on your waist because I joke a little, but I keep the space baby girl, never stole a single base and now you're lookin' me straight in the face tell me, girl, what's the case? touch me tender don't need to say a word this time this is my september approach me with an open mind just touch me tender don't need to say a word this time this is my september approach me with an open mind through it all, I just can't seem to practice what I preach so I see the world I want is just beyond my reach surface tension disregard, it works out in the end hold me closer, kiss me hard, but be gentle when you touch me tender
