Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Picture this
Bumpin' lips
Everyone talks
Do a dialogue box
[Verse 2]
They shake and bake
Make a cranky face
They got rocks in the head
Got rocks in the bed
[Verse 3]
Pull the hood down
Grab the fold-out
Is it too loud?
Is it all right?
[Verse 4]
I'm makin' contact
And you know that
Need a tight fit
To survive
[Verse 5]
Romeo
Said Juliette
Got a dialogue box
Hey, look at me, that's my answer
[Verse 6]
All sparkly white
Shiny bright
A genuine smile
The renegade style
[Verse 7]
Gonna heat 'em up
And stir the pot
Bake it a while
Then cool on the side
[Verse 8]
Tribulation
Revelation
Absolution
Prophesized
[Verse 9]
I'm a rich man
I'm a poor man
But the main thing
I'm alive
[Verse 10]
Lost in Space
Cosmic haze
Beautiful wreck
Special effect
[Verse 11]
Clean and pure
Swift and sure
I'm ready to drop
In a dialogue box
[Verse 12]
Decoration
Innovation
My creation
Any size
[Verse 13]
If you try it
And you like it
You can have it customized
[Verse 14]
Gonna test ya
With a gesture
Do I feel ya?
Are ya scared?
[Verse 15]
In the darkness
In the details
At the movies
Or a play
[Verse 16]
All crinkled up
Delirious
Fall through the cracks
In a dialogue box
[Verse 17]
With a smiley bump
Gonna line 'em up
And the question I ask
[Verse 18]
Hey, look at me, that's my answer
