INTERFERENCE PATTERN lyrics
by Benjamin Booker
[Part I]
[Intro]
Please call Time (Please call Time)
Please call Time (Please call Time)
And what I said to her, what should I call you?
And she said call me [?]
So how it began was it said to me have you noticed... that every day is like every other day? Somewhat
Said yes, I built a stand
And have you noticed that every uh week is more or less like every other week?
Yes
That uh every day has a relationship to four other days and thеy are not the four days precеding it
They are scattered back through time, one of them may be six months in the past, one of them may be thousands of years in the past. But each day is a interference pattern
[Part II (1:46)]
[Sample]
Depend on the train from Washington
You can't depend on the train from Washington
Washington, Washington
You can't depend on the train from Washington
That's 100 years overdue
[Sample]
Might as well say it one more time just to make sure you know who you are…
Are you thoughtless in your remarks?
Do you linger at bus stations for pleasure?
Do you get muscle spasms for no reason?
Do your past failures bother you?
Do your past failures bother you?
Do your past failures bother you?
Do your past failures in life, bother you?
Is your life a struggle?
Do you like to be told what to do?
Is your behaviour erratic?
Do you find interest in other people?
Do you find it easy to be fair?
Are you often consumed by envy?
Are you often consumed by envy?
Are you scientific in your thought?
Are you concerned with the impression you make?
Are you usually truthful to others?
[Sample]
[?] Oh my god [?]
Here we go [?]
Want another one? [?]
Oh my god [?]
(Laughter)

[Verse 1: ELUCID]
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
[Verse 2: ELUCID]
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
Blow up the moon
[Sample]
And the [?] throws
[Verse 3: ELUCID]
Silent ride home after a [?] game
Windows down, don't say my name
The frame blame again
Perfect projection, light up the night
I know better than it hurts twice bitten
Once upon the groove
Wandered around the wound, licking spoons [?]
Taste in sea napkin
Math long Division
Chasing grief wavelengths
Nothing if not committed
Kissing teeth out of place, but well lived in
Something's missing
[Verse 4: Anouska Sokolow]
Don't ignore me when I'm asking you a question
Don't change the subject and act like it was never mentioned
Don't raise your voice and interrupt me when I'm speaking
I'm a person too you know, I've got things to say, I've got f*cking feelings
Don't call me up if you're only going to talk about yourself
Don't take advantage, you know how easily I'm overwhelmed
Don't, don't, don't, don't try and prove me wrong
Don't make me feel like I don't belong when I don't belong
I shouldn't even have to have this conversation
I've spent my whole life avoiding confrontation
Don't raise your voice and interrupt me when I'm speaking
I'm a person too you know, I've got things to say, I've got f*cking feelings
Don't call me up if you're only going to talk about yourself
Don't take advantage, you know how easily I'm overwhelmed
Don't, don't, don't, don't try and prove me wrong
Don't make me feel like I don't belong when I don't belong
[Verse 5: ELUCID]
Ahhhhh, trivious time tale
Time told no pressure
Life full of resentment festers
Warriors [?]
Why you so extra?
[?] tale
I slept on it, need a few more hours
Tired of being small, only [?]
It's been weeks
Took like [?]
Sea reach my knees
Monkey see, monkey do
Space out the refuel, before I up the gauge
Take out the fuse
[?] same time [?]
Somewhere I can't go back to it
Somewhere I can't go back
Where I don't belong
Where I don't belong
Where I don't belong
Where I don't belong
[Part IV 8:53]
[Verse 1: ELUCID]
Gah
Blood running high
Blood running high
Gas selling low
Asking for the why
Blood running high
Gas selling low
Asking for the why
If you know, you know
If you don't say so anyway
In-between the notes
Just don't begin to way
Blood running high
Gas selling low
Asking for the why
If you know, you know
If you don't say so anyway
In-between the notes
Just don't begin to way
Who can make the pen move?
Who can make the rocks climb?
To be content, you
Bizarre my own eye for true worldwide
Long [?] impact
Cold snack, triple fat
Feathers long sufferer
Wrestle out in the flesh
I'm grilling in a [?]
I was raised on chicken gizzards and that brown gravy, white rice
Frankie helped me greatly
Blacked out at Baisley, [?], hoes everywhere
[Verse 2: billy woods]
No solicitors
Only built for residents and their visitors
Concrete and metal but every prison has these particulars
I bend time like prisoners
T's meant for time out-
Twisting... twisting...
[Verse 3: ELUCID]
[?]
It's the broken here
It's the damn work
[?]
It's the broken here
It's the damn work
It don't serve me (nah)
It don't serve you (nah)
It don't serve me
Y'know it's the first move
If the plans work
The plans works (the plans works)
It's broken here
It's the way it work (the way it work)
The plans work
If the plan work
It's broken here
It's the way it work
Secure the fund
Secure [?]
Can't trust a soul (a soul)
Can't stand no more
f*ck what people say
Why some people move?
I remember days, heading home
Underneath the eyes, suicide
I'm hearing it now
It's coming for my head
They coming for my head
They coming for my head
That's the way it work
That's through a tear
That's the way it work
[Bridge: André 3000]
Deep in the Dungeon for these many months
Amongst the Dungeon Dragon as we pass around them blunts
Had to cut it out like shears, but for years I used to burn 'em
Getting deep off in my thoughts just to get sh*t off my sternum
Chess, I never played but made many a moves
I still blame it on the session 'cause I can't remember the due
I guess, I feel that getting a Benz is- question
The world is-
[Outro: Ian McCulloch]
My life's the disease
That could always change
With comparative ease
Just given the chance
My life is the earth
'Twixt muscle and spade
I wait for the worth
Digging for just one chance
As prospect diminishes, nightmares swell
Some pray for Heaven while we live in hell
My life's the disease
[Sample]
I'm on him-.. what you talking bout- what's up a?-
In hell, in hell
[Part V 14:50]
[Verse 1: ELUCID]
Nah, cut out, cut out the light
We heal in the dark
No dog in the fight
Hole in his heart
Hole in his brain
Only came back
Spike mark the spot
I sit by and watch
Instead of a plot
Fairest exchange
Twice in a life
Spirit contain
Other plain sight you can taste
Suck on the bite
Prices to prices
No tax on walkin' away
You have to
After laughter come tears
Game ain't always what it's cracked up to be a n*gga like myself
They blew up the mountain and found an ark inside
Digital overlords don't need free promo
Church clothes, good shoes, stoned-face in the photo
I'ma ask 'cause I know you got it
'Cause I know you got it
'Cause I know you got it
Backward like all outside
Double portion
Three, four, five my n*gga, all jokes aside
I'ma ask cause I know you got it
'Cause I know you got it (I know you)
'Cause I know you got it (I know you)
(Good sh*t)
(That's good sh*t)
[Verse 2: ELUCID]
Envision a label
Logistic decisions and safe words committed
The vision is shared but first it's my own
Where in the walls is the womb
Doom gospel, a hearkening tool
A true apostle to whom?
First I'm my own
A harvesting eye
Take what I give
It's never enough
Shape of the center shifty
I can't pen it by myself
Its tricky
I'm where help felt far and off the tongue
Look what it's done, flummoxed
No crumb in the c*mmerbund
Saying what I wanted
To any and everyone under the sound of my voice for the moment
Rush of blood
Pressure to a point at what consumes me?
You choose, you choose
But first I'm my own
But first I'm my own
But first I'm my own
But first I'm my ow—
But first I'm my own
But first I'm my own
But first I'm my own
First I'm my own
First I'm my own
First I'm my own
But first I'm my own
First I'm my own
[Part VI 18:56]
[Verse 1: ELUCID]
Mhm, mhm, mhmm
Walk with me
Hopping off the porch
I'm a f*cking force
Brush you n*ggas off
Somer-somersault
Come up off the Lord
Floating past norms
A helm of held accords
Strong powers, 4 in the morn'
Eating oranges, no seed
Non-cypher, bad vibe forever
You know we're sending faster
You need to feel all this sh*t pus*y
There's no healing in the light
Get a life rookie
Sight beyond sight
The price doubled, add a few more zeroes to book me
Seeing as you n*ggas begging for cookies
Moving without a code, clones
Like you ain't got nothing else to poet about
I play dead in the drought
Ten on the ground
Alternate routes
I'll see you n*ggas when I see you
[Verse 2: ELUCID]
Did the right thing, don't need a redo
Like drywall replacement for the mice to eat through
Sinking teeth in deep roots
Who speak truth
I heard it does you no good here
Repeat loop
Green blues, breath through
They think peace
We been new
You can't afford the trauma on the menu
Sliding scale
Feel what I been through
Supreme Clientele
Might as well
At the head not the tail
And I ain't have to scrap two for [?]
[Part VII 20:00]
[Intro]
Generation of fictions (...Republican...)
Man, these algorithms are getting familiar (...Completely outside...)
(Da-Damn, Peggy, what? Hahahaha, ay, ay)
[Verse 1: ELUCID]
Das Kapital, accelerate
Breath, eyes, and memory
Grapplin' with masters, nosebleed in the rafters
Gaffold, don't get swept away
Vessel with no room for ring (Cause I like JPEGs)
Only roots remain, strippin' everything
Weave to the NuvaRing
Digi-doobies in my Uber, I'm addressed by name
I got others, I get extra, check my method mane
You look befuddled brother, don't front like you got the range
If you ain't got the range
Prosecco rover, cup runneth over
My love is vulgar, hol' up
Hop off my scrotum, tell your b*tch to come here
Don't call me woke I'm just that f*ckin' sincere
I'm like the sum of all fears, native son chuckin' spears
My soggy sour milky [?] is the [?]
Their great great grandaddy ghost whispered death in my ear up
Me not worried, me not scared, we livin' hell and heaven there
Duly noted, fully loaded, for my brother bought a spare, yeah
Bear sighting genuflect, when you see me there, yeah, yeah
Rammellzee letter racer through NYPD rubik
Black sight intimidation be more freaky than Fellini film
Flex the ill, won't he do it? yes he will
(I do it, Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it)
[Chorus: ELUCID]
There's some rules on these streets that we all go by
Dope on these streets that you don't buy
Girls in these streets that you let walk by
People on these streets that you don't try
There's some rules on these streets that we all go by
Dope on these streets that you don't buy
Girls in these streets that you let walk by
People on these streets that you don't try
There's some rules on these streets that we all go by
Dope on these streets that you don't buy
Girls in these streets that you let walk by
People on these streets that you don't try
There's some rules on these streets that we all go by
Dope on these streets that you don't buy
Girls in these streets that you let walk by
People on these streets that you don't try
There's some rules on these streets that we all go by
Dope on these streets that you don't buy
Girls in these streets that you let walk by
People on these streets that you don't try
(Caution)
[Verse 2: ELUCID]
Violence
Threatened by [?], through and through
It's in the language, in the money, it's in the school
It's in the healthcare, it's in the bank, in the real estate
Monuments in the supermarket, ain't no more real bodegas anyway
It's in the court, in the gangrene infected arm of law enforcement
Carceral state, in the workplace, in the restaurant
In the chair of your home
In the algorithms where you worship
In your neighborhood, in your relationship, in the bedroom
It's about power, domination, and binaries
It encapsulates whiteness and supremacy
It got nothin' to do with your humanity
And everything to do with your humanity
[Outro: ELUCID]
And I can't hit back hard enough
And I can't hit back hard enough
And I can't hit back hard enough
And I can't hit back hard enough
[Part VIII 23:48]
[Instrumental Break]
[Sample]
Then let me get the hell out of here...
He gives me his word
And what else?
And what else sir?
There is nothing else, just my word
Is my word good enough?
I'm sorry Jerry
So-...
[Part IX 27:14]
[Verse 1: ELUCID]
I've been listening
I've been listening
And I can feel it all over
And I can feel it all over
A true knowing
Core and root
Trembling
Make me over and anew
Make me over and anew
Make me over and anew
Make me over and anew
To be used
To be used
[Verse 2: ELUCID]
What kind of power?
Running through I can feel it all over
Running through I could feel it all over
I've been listening
I can feel it all over
Take it all away
Bending out of my own
Take it all away
Take it all away from me
[Verse 3: ELUCID]
I've been listening
To be used
I can feel it all over
To be used
Take it all away
To be used
I've been listening and I can feel it all over
All over, I can-
To be used
To be used
[Part X 32:18]
[Verse 1: Benjamin Booker]
Dove
Dove
Dove
Dove
Dove
Only in love
Only in love
I was only a dove
Only in love
Only in love
Rush ahead
I keep on holding out
I was only a dove
Only in love
Only in love
Only in love
Only-...
[Verse 2: billy woods]
It's cold again
Outside something howls inside the wind
My stockpile pile high
Every burner on the stove glowing red
Save Yourself friend (Save yourself)
That's the best I can give, save yourself
It's letters I never sent
Jumbles of yesterday's packed on pages like storage spaces and basements
They called like "Come now, he doesn't have long to live" (You should probably hurry)
I dress slowly
Came back that night and took my baby out the crib so I could hold him
I know it can slip away slow, yo, you can lose it all in a moment
Stirring the soup 'round in the roux, couple things roasting
Crack a window open let the cold in, again
The trees re-threaded gold, the sign said "Repent"
I had to let it all go so I could live in my head, again
Ransacking my mind but something hiding in the vents, ductwork, or worse
Something died in the walls like a church
Locked doors never had a key but you test the handle occasionally
God forbid it swing open
Attic stairs broken, don't go up there (Don't!)
From the windows I watch the diggers disappear in soft wet earth
Dinner served, I waited for my guests, long table set
[Verse 3: E L U C I D]
Someone here tonight
Won't hear that trumpet
What a privilege
What a joy
They sit among us
Someone here tonight
Won't feel death's sting
What a privilege
Someone here tonight
Won't hear that trumpet
They won't even want to sleep
What a joy
Great day
Great day
[Outro: Benjamin Booker]
Only in love
Dove
Dove
Dove
Dove
