Am I the only one that wants to see this make a triumphant comeback? If only for more entertaining comments from the RP community.

I agree!  It's got a great groove.

It's such a drag, while doing my work with Radio Paradise playing, to have to turn off the sound.  
So Mr. DJ thinks this "song" is kind of cool.  I think doing biopsies is kind of cool, but I don't subject everybody to them, if you follow.

Well done Freddy-Boy - I have given it 10 to make things more interesting!

Just gave it a 10 - not because I love it but because RP listeners need to be shaken out of the comfort zones!

The album cover and the song have the same theme... both are a bunch of random shit pasted together to make a hideously awful steaming pile of poo.

I like when everyone whines and complains about a song, because I can just picture Bill sitting there laughing and essentially saying, "Eff you, you whiny little brats."

I'm not gonna rate this.  Look at the ratings. Look at all the comments. Ah what the hell...it sure does bring out the emotions... I will laugh hard every time it's played. That, son, is the power of music.

I know it's weird that I'd rate this a sucko-barfo but still think it might have some redeeming qualities. I don't like it, but I do appreciate the rhythm. It's just too rap for my tastes (we get people driving by our house in a quiet neighborhood several times a day with those loud stereos that make the floor vibrate, the foundation crack, and the cats and dogs freak out - and invariably, those stereos are playing rap, and every other word is the F-bomb.)  Still... I'm hoping there's a message in this song. I'ma go hunt lyrics, and we'll see... {#Sunny}

Um -  okay. Lyrics.
Coming loose, at the seams
Blind spots, voices
Controls gone, I'm like a balloon
Cut it out, emotion

Distance, it grows now
You don't, reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars

Save me give me wings to fly
Make me young reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

Headlight, black demons
Peering in my hollow core
Grudges they're strangling
and splinters and dry skin

Streetlights they see me
The whole world will reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars

Save me give me wings to fly
Make me young reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

I'll kiss then you'll wake up
Don't want to meet your maker
And you don't believe in fairy tales
Well today I'm gonna make ya

Cause I've come here to save ya
Finna none of that miss I'ma take ya
I can rap I can rhyme like karma
Be your night in armor

Oh no I aint got no Porsche
Just give me a shield and a sword and a horse
And I'll come ridin' ridin' ridin'
Give me a little one on the back

Ima tell a lie and get you on back
Ima tell a lie and get you on back
It's gone right from fiction to fact
I'm gonna take you out this world

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

Kiss me (x5)
Fairy tales make up

{#Puke}yuck. . . .sounds like a demo track on a Casio keyboard along with a couple stereos blasting boomy rap in the back corner of Best Buys (just before I walk out with a headache)  Amazon is so much easier.

This should replace waterboarding, but then again that may be even less humane.

Yeah, well it still doesn't elicite as many negative comments as when RP plays Tori Amos, LCD Soundsystem or Ozzy Osborn...why does RP attract so many music snobs?
