Used Book Store

I'm changing my name to lo-fi hip hop to relax and study to
in hopes people will listen and will know what to do
When I get on the mic, the room it only moves
when the hot dogs on the counter burn and smoke begins to plume
And that's my current status, laying flat on the floor, let's face it
I'm Imperitus Ignoramus, 40k, bad unit placement,
Point management nil, will is draining, gutted basement
Livejounal filled with moods and Russian advertisements
I don't let that get me down, there's no time to reminisce
I know a place where emotions swell, begin their resonance (claim their residence)
a magic land of glory, smelling of moss and grandeur
I hit the road and slam the gas, hope my wallet endures
At the Used Book Store on the other side of town
Got a half priced book for a third, one quarter down
Gonna catch a read, take that knowledge for a ride
And if you can't afford it, there's a free bin right outside
Of the Used Book Store, where the parking's ample, large,
It's time to chase your dreams, it's time to max out cards,
Sweeping down the aisles, catching sights with your eyes
I hope that you will find a cheap and wonderful surprise!
At the used book store! (Used Book Store)
I'm at the used book store! (Used book store!)
I'm at the used book store! (Used book store!)
I'm at the used book store! (Used book store!)
A veritable fort, a court of second hand wonderment!
full of books and film, discarded adornment
programming books multiple versions obsolete
self help books so pristine it's religious, angelique!
comics galore, manga lost from aughty five
Countless volume 8s of video girl ai
dodging floor otakus peeking fan service inside
asking my opinion on sword art online
that's a wack isekai, up the stairs, album time
CDs very scratched, heavy metal by the dime!
finding blackened thrash from snorbekistan
only in this land, this fantastic magic land
Of
chorus repeats
large print fantasy elric anthology
rare first printing autograph still smudging
thought once lost to the throes of time
power in my hand its mine mine mine mine mine mine mine
oh its 9.99
well never mind
put it back for now maybe buy some other time
When I get store credit! (STOREEE CREDIT!!)
I know where I will spend it! (STORE CREDIT!)
Because I can't spend it anywhere else you see
That's how they get that sweet inventory
And if you don't like it, they can pass it on to you!!
And if you don't like, they'll pass it right on through!
To you and you and you until the rightful heir comes
Automatic doors pave the way, welcome!

My Neighbor's Dog
04:11

|

There's a dog in the window when I get home from work
He belongs to my neighbor who I think may be a jerk
But I don't really know since we haven't met one time
They're always out the door when the jello mold is primed
But that dog is cute, we'd get along just fine
If only dognapping wasn't much of a crime
I'd pry that door open while my neighbor worked those dimes
Noone has to know, just me and the canine
We'd go for walkies and we would have a ball
Until we found a ball, then we'd have two balls!
In the dog park, 'cause now we're now allowed
The world is our treat, let us both go to town
We could get ice cream, one for me and two for you
And I would get you back before your owner knew
It would be our little secret, between you and I
Give me one bark for yes and we'll be doing fine
But I'm snapped back to the front to my door
And a window to a dog I'd give the world for!
CHORUS
All I want to do is pet my neighbors dog
He's a good dog
Why won't you let me pet that dog
To scratch behind his ears and pet his little paws
Why won't you let me pet that dog?
And all I want to do is be my neighbor's friend
But he don't speak,
don't care, won't even make pretend
I don't know a soul in the complex
But can I pet your dog, it's swear it's all I ask.
But can I pet your dog, I'm up to the task.
I know it's odd to be so obsessed
But if you saw this dog you too would say yes
Saying "Pet me pet me pet me" to everyone he's ever known
Give him anything he wants, give that mutt a tasty bone
He's stuck at home and you're stuck here too
The walls are too thick to build an escape through
But you hear him whining, the neighbor's gone adieu
Everything be damned, we're on the move!
Play the Thin Lizzy, a Jailbreak ensures!
We're busting Barky out, we're taking him to brand new
Frontiers as we steer away in my car,
Windows down on all sides, ride on shooting star!
Take him on a hike to a place with waterfalls
Get those likes on instagram, make the web go "Aww!"
But the real treasure is all this precious time
Making memories between this dog and I
But I'm sorted from my daze, re-adjust my view
And turn the volume up as I browse my streaming queue!
BUT
CHORUS REPEATS
The time is now, it's going to be the day
I'm knocking on the door, I'm going to smile and say
"Hey I'm your neighbor, I'm sorry we've never met.
But your doggo's so cute can I have just one pet?"
"I should have done it sooner, where's my neighborly pride?
Charisma check failed sending positive vibes!
But never mind, it's time to make amends,
I want to meet you and your furry friend."
I knock once, there's no answer at the door
Knocked twice before, repeat the beat in four/four
Sound of a vacuum loud, noted in the void
The door opens up, a cleaning crew annoyed
I took too long, that time became a blur
And never will I have the chance to feel that fluffy fur
But someone new is carrying boxes up the stairs,
And at the end of a leash what do we have here?
All I'm gonna do is pet my neighbors dog
She's a good dog
I'm busy petting this dog!
Scratching behind ears, petting little paws
I'm having fun petting this dog!
And all I want to do is be my neighbor's friend
And she seems kind,
is kind,
It worked out in the end!
I know two souls in the complex
And one is a dog that I'm giving pets
CHORUS REPEATS
