Open Mike Eagle - Big Pretty Bridges (3 Days off in Albuquerque) lyrics

[Intro] So long So long now So long now So long now [Verse 1] I'm far away from my house, wrote this song in the hotel room On a day of the show, got canceled, now this room feels like Bellevue Jupiter's got twelve moons and there's life forms on a couple of them Give a f** if my plans fell through, if I'm deep purple or pale blue So please circle the right answer on this questionnaire I'm gon' mail you Haven't we yet made a real connection or is this simply a prelude? Whats this centuries Quaalude? What's the next millennium's molly pill? And my body feels like sunlight, ‘bout to run right through this poppy field So my eyes burn and my nose run and my skin itches like fire Only rappers with sinus troubles could ever enter my cypher Every sentence that I write, my muse feels like it could be tighter There's a small chance that we can't connect ‘cause we're too differently wired [Hook] So long So long now So long now So long now We'll dig, we'll still Build big pretty bridges We'll dig, we'll still Build big pretty bridges We'll dig, we'll still Build big pretty bridges [Verse 2] What the f** is you doing here? I done plugged up this computer gear And I'm ‘bout to sweat in this laptop, the drive here was like five years I swear I only made one gas stop, I'm the Batman of the minivan And my plan's choking these rap fans who think rap shows are like Disneyland What the f** is you doing here with no roller coasters, no souvenirs? Sometimes the sh**'s second nature, other times it feels super weird There's some faces here I done seen before, seen people dancing, seen people bored Now I'm reaching out for your hand so you can understand what I'm speaking for But don't sweep the floor, but don't wipe the bar, leave them gla**es right where they are Look at me when I talk to you cause this not some sh** I'm sleepwalking through Not some sh** that y'all can wipe away, a game some of y'all like to play I'm dialing into U access and U this signal will not decay [Hook] So long So long now So long now So long now We'll dig, we'll still Build big pretty bridges We'll dig, we'll still Build big pretty bridges We'll dig, we'll still Build big pretty bridges
