Big Pretty Bridges (3 Days off in Albuquerque) - Open Mike Eagle

So long

So long now

So long now

So long now

I’m far away from my house, wrote this song in the hotel room

On a day of the show, got canceled, now this room feels like Bellevue

Jupiter’s got twelve moons and there’s life forms on a couple of them

Give a fuck if my plans fell through, if I’m deep purple or pale blue

So please circle the right answer on this questionnaire I’m gon' mail you

Haven’t we yet made a real connection or is this simply a prelude?

Whats this centuries Quaalude?

What’s the next millennium’s molly pill?

And my body feels like sunlight, 'bout to run right through this poppy field

So my eyes burn and my nose run and my skin itches like fire

Only rappers with sinus troubles could ever enter my cypher

Every sentence that I write, my muse, feels like it could be tighter

There’s a small chance that we can’t connect 'cause we’re too differently wired

So long

So long now

So long now

So long now

We’ll dig, we’ll still

Build big pretty bridges

We’ll dig, we’ll still

Build big pretty bridges

We’ll dig, we’ll still

Build big pretty bridges

What the fuck is you doing here?

I done plugged up this computer gear

And I’m 'bout to sweat in this laptop, the drive here was like five years

I swear I only made one gas stop, I’m the Batman of the minivan

And my plan’s choking these rap fans who think rap shows are like Disneyland

What the fuck is you doing here with no roller coasters, no souvenirs?

Sometimes the shit’s second nature, other times it feels super weird

There’s some faces here I done seen before, seen people dancing,

seen people bored

Now I’m reaching out for your hand so you can understand what I’m speaking for

But don’t sweep the floor, but don’t wipe the bar, leave them glasses right

where they are

Look at me when I talk to you cause this not some shit I’m sleepwalking through

Not some shit that y’all can wipe away, a game some of y’all like to play

I’m dialing into U access and U this signal will not decay
