Xian Man
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.
You don't need headlights to see
Open your mind back
To the love of Xian man
The wheels do stop
Midas your neighbors
For the love of Xian man
I'm Miles Davis better than you
Leaving no thumbprints
For the love of Xian man
Exquisite features drive you home
Keeping my head on the top
For the love of Xian man
Fall into my act
You will never take flack
For my blackjack stacks no more
Backwardization make you amend
Tête-à-tête long math
For the love of Xian man
The wheels, they drop
Midas your neighbor
For the love of Xian man
Fall into my act
You will never take flack
For my blackjack kicks no more
Fall into my act
You will never take flack
For my blackjack stacks no more
