I Got This Love (feat. Passion)

I got this love

Because because because because

Because of Jonestown

Because of Auschwitz

Because the leaves fall, and we can't stop it

But that makes fall leaves,

I'ma start a mosh pit

(ch!) this is your captain

Hopping out the the cockpit

I forgot my parachute

But I got my bay sounds

So I'll be going dummy

Rocking on the way down

I'll be saying "hey ground!"

Howzabout we make out?

I'll put on some Ray Brown

You can grab some take out

Love isn't more sin, love isn't forced in

Getting under your skin, digging for endorphins

It's the portion some of us'll forgo

Fingers on your torso tapping you in morse code

The opera aria we're singing like a bar song

The stranger's pretty face that hits you like a car bomb

The wrinkled note we passed in class in second grade

And all it says up on the page (is)

Because my Grandma lived to 99, eleven months

Between a hundred years of solitude and heaven once

Because she loved her son but couldn't ever say it right

Because the language of the planet isn't day and night

It's in the in between

It's when we intervene

And never let a silly hater rabbit pimp the scene

For the deaf kid in the aisle of the symphony

Who hears it through the rumble of the tuba and the timpani

For those lay waste to beauty with a straight face

Everywhere on earth we're all escaping from the same place

And yes occasionally we get drunk and out of line

And last night, there's a lamp post that I asked to be my valentine

Take a shady place, shine until it radiates

Seventeen to eighty eight, make a break and head west

Or make a promise to your lady in a red dress

Last night in my hot mess

That lamp post said yes

Detroit is equal till there's half its people laid off

While corporate lawyers and former employers play golf

Because of furor over every juror paid off

And because the furor used to be a boy named Adolf

Because of anakin, instead of panickin'

And because of every man who can be more than just a manaquin

Because of Tienanmen, because there was a cameraman

And because of the cameraman chasing princess Diana and

Because of Tammany hall, because of Gramercy park

Because of Amityville and because of amnesty

Because of famine and because its not a fantasy

Because of every tenement into family

Tentative to say cause of combs cause of hannity

Homes for humanity the bones of my ancestry

Grown and gone on gravestones and drawn on payphones and palms

Raised up in alms
