Spaceman

[Intro]
Breaker, breaker 1 9
I'm in outer space with a microphone

[Chorus]
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now

[Verse 1]
In a nightgown and tin foil hat
Journey in a world we destroyed and attacked
Mommy wants you to give her lubricant oil back
The dirt farm hands kick dust skinned soiled black
Radical packs of wolves wrapped in wool shackled in padded rooms
And actin' like they're back in a womb
Can't we all just get along... stick and beat the shit out of each other with it? Ha
Ride the rhythm like the women who ain't even trying to win if the prize is a ribbon
These are the times that we live in when opportunity knocks only to be notified of eviction
I called the public housing authority and let them know there's a new sheriff in town
Now they're calling me the space man
I wasn't scared to die until the government cut my air supply

[Chorus]
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now

[Verse 2]
A pipe bomb up my sleeve
A secret hand shake like you wouldn't believe
Now peep the landscape and take a good look at the trees
It gets pretty lonesome around these parts so bring a good book to read
Single celled amoebas evolved into simpletons who started singing "Jingle Bells" for Jesus
Not to knock the teaching Jesus brings
Cause the Bible's a good read like Steven King's "Needful Things"
So many wasted nights cuddling with shadow people who couldn't wait to be replaced by the light
Take your life as a joke, hey Phife, gravity don't float
Tell Natalie it's over, cause I found a new cold shoulder to die on
She signs on and finds me within one click of an icon
My god, has it come to this?
I'm the space man (and you're a filthy fucking bitch)

[Chorus]
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now

[Verse 3]
White lies don't count like my vote, a type of guest without a message to promote
When Asian women get drunk they float. I thought they flew but they don't
What the hell do I know beyond the harmful contents of coke?
Take a sip and think destructive, my opponent wants to fuck to live beyond the moment
She's on a pill called "Easy Killer" there she goes again in my sleepy slippers
Sneaky ain't she? I know her Steve. She reps resent with no regret
Where the dreamcatchers grow on trees
I leave to collect all my thoughts, when they say they'll cover me it just means they'll forget their wallets
I was built on a tilt tinted green. On a scale of 1 - 10 you're a double digital guilt machine
Silk screened and pegged leg to boot, pirated radio D.J. with a parrot that acts aloof
Your Annie Difranco shaped hat's a noose. My blind side is hooked up to ideas with some carrot juice
Ain't no such thing as rap music. I'm the spaceman, get used to it, stupid

[Chorus]
Up, wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Clean me up (up), wipe me down (down)
Perfectly silent and unthreatening
They like me now
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Clean me up, wipe me down (wipe me down)
Perfectly quiet and unmenacing
They like me now

[Outro]
Wanna act (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna flow (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna think (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna see (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna hear (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna feel (just like me now, like me now)
Wanna fly (just like me now, like me now)
But they can't bust like this
