lyrics

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
