(VAI) William, WRF You Talking About?

歌詞

[Spoken Intro] Forty thousand? Exactly? Not forty thousand and twelve? Not thirty-nine nine ninety-eight? Just— forty thousand? [Pause] That’s amazing. [Verse 1] Somebody says a number Everybody hears the point Me? I hear the little squeak Coming from the joint Somebody says: “About forty thousand” Fine But if you say: “Forty thousand” Brother Now the number’s mine [Chorus] William What The fuck you talking about? I don’t know But there’s something here And I’m gonna work it out William What The fuck you talking about? Everybody else moved on I’m still standing by the sentence With the hazard lights on [Verse 2] Somebody says: “The early bird gets the worm” I say: Depends Where the bird is standing Someone says: “Keep your foot from evil” I say: Why foot? Why not the eye? Somebody says: “That’s just how it is” I say: Yeah But hold on Why? [Spoken] No. No, no. Go back. You said: “Exactly.” What did you mean by exactly? [Chorus] William What the fuck you talking about? I’m talking about the thing you said Before you threw it out William What The fuck you talking about? You heard a sentence I heard a door And now I need to know What’s behind it [Verse 3] A dog sits in the middle That changes everything A trick knee on the right side Has a different consequence A map hangs on the wall So clearly you gotta travel to the top two corners first If you want the thing to stay up straight [Pause] What? That makes sense. Kind of. [Bridge] I ain’t lost I’m looking I ain’t drifting I’m hooked There’s a little hinge In the middle of the language And somebody forgot to look You can keep the headline Give me the weird small part The number too clean The phrase too neat The splinter in the thought [Breakdown] “Forty thousand.” Forty thousand? “Yes.” Exactly? “William—” No, no. Stay with me. “Why?” Because now I wanna know. [Final Chorus] William What the fuck you talking about? Same thing I was talking about Before you tuned me out William What the fuck you talking about? Maybe nothing Maybe something Maybe one loose thread Hanging off the edge of what you said [Outro] You can go. I’ll catch up. Probably. I just need one more minute with this sentence. [Pause] Forty thousand. That’s amazing.
