lyrics

I keep my attitude can-do
Feel the magic in the atoms of my mansuit
Pull a rabbit out any hat I put hands to
I pull my lover in close to smell her shampoo
Another entry in my travel log
Been around never seen a man who had it all
See the gaps involved
I treat my gaps with balms
Deal in facts and psalms
We need our captains calm
Might be icebergs comin'
Keep your eyes open and you might learn somethin'
It’s late right now I’m a night bird buzzin'
Didn’t write sixteen just a nice little dozen

I Stand like Blanc with a clue
Ten toes with the gum on my shoes
When it comes to the funds I’m a sleuth
Make a move on the case with the crew
Scooby Doo

Hard to watch when they do it for the views
Let them grift I don’t get too confused
On the grid unlocked I'm amused
In my room feelin' huge busy doin what I choose

Spawn in the sim to get my laps in
Do immaculate loops that make a track spin
I won’t count up my chips until I cash in
Calculate my value in the tears over my casket
I got the time today let’s run it up
Zia told me we got sunny days in front of us
He looked knowing
In Iowa it’s been snowing
The fire in me is growing
In spite of who would try to slow it up
Peter Pan when my pen moves
Mind and matter make a feast out of pretend food
I always eat it up
People don’t really read enough
I try and treat um from my seasonal menu
Gotta capture the taste in the sauce
For the craft for the path for the cause
For the passion and natural laws
And the awe in the space
As it fills with applause

I stand like Blanc with a clue
Ten toes with the gum on my shoes
When it comes to the funds I’m a sleuth
Make a move on the case with the crew
Scooby Doo

Hard to watch when they do it for the views
Let them grift I don’t get too confused
On the grid unlocked I'm amused
In my room feelin' huge busy doin what I choose
