Racing Stripes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There is a bowl cut template mapped with a billy can

Mega morn scissoring a topiary lego man

Mini-ramp cowlick

Good ship snot nose

Lap rain water out of pigeon hill potholes

Rat brain, shovel green peas offa butterknife

Racoon hat, moon boots all summer-type

Felt pressure at the center of the dog show

Better off blending

Sweater—off Waldo you

Wanna see a genome mutate?

Cut a page boy ‘til it bring home a Cube tape

Poof, screw-face wriggle out a chop shop

Home-brewed Kool-aid, d

Isavowing Osh Kosh

Simulating television

Little rowdy rock snob

Bobble-headed shredder playing top-heavy hop scotch

You realize you only got a week

‘Til you catch him with a set of shitty clippers in the sink

Like bzzzzt, motherfucking bzzzzt, bzzzzt

That's a quiet kid, buzzing asymmetric rebel lines in

Crudely, some say to praise the lord

I say you wanna feel saved baby

Shape the orb, and I will see you all in Helven

Read he fled a panic room pissed

And been searching for animal chin since

Bumpin' Johnny Rad, eye on the sauce pan

Current mop: 4 months shy on the off-chance

Start with a text book bowl cut (bowl cut!)

One you can mow down slow as you grow up learn a couple great new curse words (pussy!) buzz a cool rat tail, take 2, your turn

Learn a couple great new curse words (fuckface!) maybe try a ponyhawk, take 2, your turn

I knew this kid Camu

Who in the lion's mouth

Made up a fail safe way to get his life corralled

Let's say he short on the rent

His land lord is upset

He disappears with sheers yelling "I'm going George Jeff"

Bathroom door sound like a part—mech barbershop quartet

Forced into war with itself

What emerge next in a shaft of light is bald up top

Long on the back and sides

Maybe the blade oil came with a ax to grind

But granddaddy half-smile, all mastermind

He ask "how do I look?''

I said "you look insane"

He said the haircut come with a theory I'll explain

Please do

First: No hats allowed

Faux nat' male pattern when he out the house

And wouldn't crop it up until his monopoly prop pass go

‘Til then walk this town like an asshole

Motherfucking bzzzt!

Last week we were stoney

This week he program beats all monday

Sold 2 wednesday, pay rent

Fabricate a whole new hedge maze

Back on his smooth shit friday at noon bitch

Wow, just like that

A method I encourage you to share and apply and adapt as one day his didn't grow back

Start with a text book bowl cut (bowl cut!)

One you can mow down slow as you grow up learn a couple great new curse words (pussy!) buzz a cool rat tail, take 2, your turn

Learn a couple great new curse words (fuckface!) maybe try a ponyhawk, take 2, your turn
