Home Base Lyrics

[Intro – voice samples]
A hummingbird needs no legs to fly
We've all been blessed with wings of our own
Ladies and gentlemen

[Verse 1 – Deca]
Recognize the patterns that emerge
When a self righteous herb strikes a maladapted nerve
Had the urge to snap and leave him fractured on the curb
I recall the confrontation but the aftermath's a blur
Deterred by a Venus wrapped in furs
That saw the ring and aimed to sabotage my happy еver afterwards
In dark moods she'll rеmove your heart usin' sharp tools
Feed you to the sharks, leave you bleedin' on a barstool
Leave the fruit alone
Go pet the dog with three heads on a leash in front that's chewin' on a human bone
And dream about Elysian Fields where you used to roam
A new day dawning and the promise of your future home
It's scorched earth outside, more than I can stomach
Lit a stick with fire stolen from the highest summit
Somewhere in the furnace sweating out the toxins
Where snake oil merchants peddle rebel angel doctrines
[Chorus – Deca]
There's no place like home base
Maneuver through a soul scape
Stone faced moving at my own pace
Dodging pitfalls and titans while they clash
Plucking wings off of hummingbirds and fighting over scraps

[Post-Chorus – voice samples]
The underworld
Many questions are still unanswered
How do they find their way?
Do they navigate by the sun and stars?
We've all been blessed with wings [Verse 2 – Eligh]
As we walk in, welcome to my habitat
You're free to watch the spindoctor spin in Stetson hazmats
You can check my ASCAP
Take a lap around my lab
Take a ride inside the mad mind of Gandalf Pendergrass
Gobstoppers' everlasting flavor country is where I'm at
Used to be the reds and and mango Lord Ganesha I'd buy a pack
No use in denying facts
The truth is I'm lying back
And letting life arrive on God's almanac rewind the track
To find the sum, I use this as a rule of thumb
Time it used to bruise me with its lacking nature, give me some
But I'm an eternal being so keep your charity it seems
My nature's on the side of cherished rarities and particle beams
The article genuine gentleman genteel giant with a way to a means
Makin' my way no matter the day no matter the time it's in my genes
Devine steam, precise aim with a crystal beam
Cut a man down with a missile stream
Spit like a hummingbird beak and lean in when I grit my teeth
Is this a dream?
[Chorus – Deca]
Projected on an inner screen in clay figurines
There's no place like home base
Trying to find a path
Through an underworld of hungry ghosts fighting over scraps

[Outro – voice samples]
Who are you?
Who are you, who are you?
Important thing is to uh get out there and learn to see, to look, and to enjoy
We've all been blessed with wings
