Will Wood & The Tapeworms 2012
Fuck!
I was an existential criminal, so innocently cynical
Ignorant as f..ck but a proud individual
Originally meant to live a God-damned miracle
Might've been metaphysical, but I think it was medical
Testing my hypothesis, never finding a theory
Emulating animals and mental aboriginals
A miserable f..ck but a loud Tao mystical
An enemy of ritual traditionally integral to
Biblical originals, but literally pitiful
Too impatient for outpatient. Paging Dr. Leary
[Chorus]
Did you lose yourself? It's always in the last place that you'd check
I might find myself by retracing my steps, but…
I don't remember how I forgot myself. I don't remember, I don't remember 2012
I don't remember 2012. I don't remember, wow, the whole year's a blur
I think I bought into the comedy and brought a lot of oddity
An odyssey I thought to be consider a commodity
And not until anomaly abolished my monotony
Did I applaud autonomy and modify a lot of me
I'll escape this reality, be the next Houdini
Glory be Satori but its hallucinatory and it's sure to be a story I can tell in purgatory
I said, once I've lost it can there be a Mahaprajnaparamita?
[Chorus]
I heard the world would turn to hell. Compared to that, I'm doing well
[Chorus]
