Lyrics Saul Williams

Saul Williams

Notice Of Eviction

Something is dying, tonight

There will be no more breath and no more light

I've burned every candle and extinguished every fear

And I've waited for your time to pass to bring in my new year

Something is dying, tonight

There will be no more struggle, no more fight

And I've known that I'd have to live through suffering and you

But I'm the landlord of my dreams now and my tenant's rent is due

Something is dying

Something is dying inside of me

In spite of me

Something is dying, tonight

My old patterns off to Saturn taking flight

And the astronaut within me has no air supply at all

So he's plunging into the deep sea with no parachute to fall

Something is dying, tonight

I can't eat and I can't sleep, so I just write

'Cause I wanted you to lean on to distract me from my feet

But my karma wheel chair rolled me out of bounds and out of reach

Something is dying

Something is dying inside of me

In spite of me

Something is dying

Something is dying inside of me

In spite of me

Author of wind and change

Phantom of the opera

Tenor of the octave range

Spews volcanic lava

Silent partner of the sun

Divests a world of interest

Sun retires, calls it a day

And sleeps a hundred winters

Darkness echoes, thunder cries

And waves ripple with laughter

Dolphins confuse sea and sky

And now the hereafter

Monkeys climb to tops of trees

And call out to the children

Little girl awakes from dream

As Elvis leaves the building

Elvis leaves the building

Elvis leaves the building

Elvis leaves the building

Elvis leaves the building

Down pour from the darkest cloud

Accumulated tension

Flashflood from the third

Leaks into the fourth dimension

Shotgun rings across the plain

Down goes another lion

Harlem church choir sings refrain:

"We're marching on to Zion"
