Self Portrait
I said I was a musical genius
I said I was a musical genius
I said I was a musical genius
I repeated it 'til it became meaningless
Because you assumed I was joking
And then you thought about it
Like - "he's not joking"
Listen, it's entertainment but if you listen the genius is in the arrangements
See I wasn't kidding, wasn't bullshitting
Anyways, you can't fire me now, ‘cos I'm quitting
[Bridge]
I'm at home in a taxi cab
Self absorbed
The musical Maxi Pad
I like sunsets
Long walks on the beach
I dont rap like Big Poppa
Because I don't preach
[Hook 2x]
The closer I get to closure
I realise writing this is shear torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait
I'm way beyond snob
I'm a Louis Vuitton slob
You want the truth? No prob
I see the face of God in a blow job
I see the truth in Eric Cartman
And Salavdor Dali
And Dolly Parton
And even Chris Martin
When I dance to Viva La Vida alone in my apartment
[Bridge]
I'm at home in a taxi cab
Self absorbed
The musical Maxi Pad
I like sunsets
Long walks on the beach
I dont rap like Big Poppa
Because I don't preach
[Hook 2x]
The closer I get to closure
I realise writing this is shear torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait
This self portrait I wanna torch it
I love it but I want to divorce it
Who there?
It's only despair
I try to avoid the void but it's just there
So when I grow grey like Dorian
I won't be boring
Because I think about historians
I'm going through a difficult stage
From young Nicholas Cage to present day Nicholas Cage
I'm almost 40
There's a bunch of folk to whom I should say sorry
I should write down my whole life story
Chilly Gonzo, memento mori
[Bridge]
I'm at home in a taxi cab
Self absorbed
A musical Maxi Pad
I like sunsets
Long walks on the beach
I dont rap like Big Poppa
Because I don't preach
[Hook 2x]
The closer I get to closure
I realise writing this is shear torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait
