Lyrics and translation
Original
See the rock in my hand.
Took it from another man.
Took it from another plan.
A funnel escape out the back of the door with the swinging handle.
Rusty refrigerator that never worked 'cause it was too full.
Full of your shit that got moldy 'cause there was too much moisture in the air, in the air. Oh.
Look into my eyes and tell me that I'm lying, that I'm lying.
Better than, better than, b-b-b-better than, better than most.
Look me in the eye and say that I am done incanting.
'Cause it's oh, oh, oh.
Better than, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-better than most.
Better than all.
Condescending and a-lying, incantation underlying in the dark.
Picking and without my fingers unlocking our heart.
Said what is it lacking? Said water was a luxury that I don't wanna want it no more.
Want it no more.
I said, b-b-b-b-better than that.
And though I knew I, and though I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew, and though I knew it.
Did that shit anyway.
Took the course anyway.
-Yeah. -I don't take it back.
I don't go back there. I don't take that back for nothing.
Take that back for nothing.
And my life on it. And my life on it.
I said, b-b-b-b-better than. Better than.
Rip the curtain off the plane.
Rip the curtain off the planes.
Let the light in, let the light in.
The black light lines my sins of yesterday.
But I wouldn't, but I wouldn't, but I wouldn't do it differently, differently, differently than it.
Did it in a lounge, on a trip that's into time. When you trip that's into line.
Line, line, line.
Got it any differently,
I'm not. Sleeping 'round in the head, I am taking a clover.
Acting alone, I am taking it over.
Taking the aloneness one more time. Taking the aloneness one time.
Smoke a blunt to the face.
Just so I couldn't get over the things that I know that I didn't know.
Took an aloneness one, I swear.
Ooh, I swear.
And I took, and I took, and I took, and I took.
And I shoved and I pushed and I shoved and I pushed and I shoved, pushed and I shoved.
B-b-b-better than.
B-b-better than rest.
B-b-better than rest.
It's better than, better than rest.
