Kick real hard at your shadow. Your shadow will kick back. But the ground airborne in the first kick Has something the ground shadow lacks. It's depth and it's dimension from which The shadow takes it's shape. So if you wanna change your shadow, ya You gotta figure out how it's made. Barry

Joke says tape your computer hole. Untape it if you have to go. Take two spies in the bathroom stall And everywhere else you go. They got a million faces. Your face in a million places. Got your voice. All you do. They could leave a trace of you. Barry

Aha man or ma'am! I caught you! Lookee, lookee here...! Who have I caught and Why now and why here? Someone is fishing Is it me or is it you? Who moving their mouth now? Say it ain't true! Barry

Liars can stop lying. Myself? I used to lie. See, lies are slippery slopes in a rainstorm. Matters not how the climber climbs. Lies dig trenches and fills them with shit. Then the liars obsess with staying out of it. But to get ahead Always trenches and With 'em shit storms and Fo' sho' drenches. Barry 

You're a figment, you. You're not real. That's not you on the window seal. That's your rep. Repping for you. Don't get too connected ooh... They'll unplug you. Where you go? Back to the place you make your show! Barry

Only so many fucks to be given. Yours gonna hafta wait. Maybe you ain't realized that Buddy, you are bait. They reel you in and You bring others. Sons and daughters. Bring two mothers. They'll tell two and Then two others. But falter once... Step out of line... They'll instantly get behind Another. Barry

You're a beggar for punishment, you. You know what you'll do. Drive like you're crazy. Like other crazy drivers. Super sprint to work and Arrive without high fivers. Don't think what you are doing. Just doing, doing, doing. You pay before, Your life no more Means anything, now does it. It's time, it's only time. Time to take a peek. Look under your sleepy sleep. Glow sticks just beneath! Barry

That job ain't worth what you think. That diamond's just a rock. The funds in the bank just Ain't your funds and buddy You can put a sock In it. If you don't like what you see. Pally, you be free. To look anew and only you Can decipher reality. Barry
