Taking Notes

Townhouse mercantile
Snare drums snapping like a crocodile till late, till late
Max's modular Nord arrived
Call us if you're feeling bleep deprived upstate, upstate

While you take a bow
We are only getting started now create, create
Downtime evermore
Just like when we waited for R8, R8

Did we see you hiding, taking notes at the back of the show?
'Cause we heard your latest record and we think you're tryna steal our flow
The parrot painted packets while she listened to The Love Below
And the whole caboodle landed in to Speakerboxxx in stereo

Summer secrets find them concertinaed inbetween
Memories of that fading century
Always knew that we would meet again before the end, you and me
Were so extrasensory

Makin' melodies with a chink of ambergris
Like a pale pangolin in parentheses
Golden tambourines started sprouting from the trees so
Shake a branch to the beat, one of our machines is missing

You extemporise, we're to busy gettin' idolised, relate, relate
Captured like a track
Celebrated in a paperback, why wait? Why wait?

Since we saw you hiding, taking notes at the back of the show
We heard you did some music for a dramedy on HBO
Made yourself a mixtape from the Clear Channel memorando
But then you tried to sell a copy to an undercover po-po
It's time to go

Summer secrets find them concertinaed in between
Memories of that fading century
Always knew that we would meet again before the end, D&C
We're so extrasensory

Makin' melodies then we take' em overseas
Like a panglossian in Los Angeles
Multicoloured keys started sprouting from the trees so
Shake a branch to the beat, one of our machines is missing

Made our melodies now it's time to shoot the breeze
Saunter home, feed the cat, put on Silk Degrees
Macaroni cheese started sprouting from the trees so
Grab a plate, take a seat, you just don't know that you're missing
