There's a trap and I know it, and I'm really glad to know it
And there's nothing in the minotaur but tape and string
But in the middle is the end, and I've caught the end lit
And when I touch the beast, he'll eat the ring the lucky ring
I don't know where to take it, but I'm really glad to take it
And remember, if you start to rot then breathe real deep
So I started the maze, started this craze, sucked the tit, ruined my cant, started this rant
Listen, run, then leap.
I don't know why you love me, why you try to trite to do me
But there's nothing in the minotaur but tape and string
And I watch as you succeed, and my fingers touch to see
And I really want to be you as you open up and sing
There's a moral to my story and a method to my mink
And I know as you crow and my roe begins to glow
That I died so long ago that I'm starting to stink
Don't dismiss me, redress me, tie me up with a bow
'Cause I still breathe the same genius as you.
I'm the same genius as you
I'm the same genius as you, motherfucker
I'm the same genius as you.
Just remember, don't dismember all the care I take
This isn't whimsy or flimsy or my lucky ring
Now it seems I don't exist, I eat a funny cake
But there's nothing in the minotaur but tape and string
I could kill you in a second, don't ask me when I will
Just remember, don't dismember all the care I take
You used to understand me by adding to the mill
Now it seems I don't exist, and I eat a funny cake
There's nothing to this legend, where were you when it began?
Now every girl I sleep with goes with so and so and so
The minotaur eats the boy and vomits out the man
But there's nothing in the minotaur but tape - watch out below
Don't close your eyes
The same genius as you
I'm the same genius as you
I'm the same genius as you, motherfucker
I'm the same genius as you
Minotaurs eat boys and spit out men.
