…down, and understand this night has fallen, only the eyes of daylight can see mysteries left to perceive.
When…
…and reframe the scenario, leaving out the excess radio because I'm done waiting on you to set sail and take control. She's calling me with the regrets of yesteryear…
…and all it's tears scraped out they're not for me, they're not for me.
And I started to feel you erasing all their words…

Can't even call this a blues song
It's been so long
Neither one of us was wrong or anything like that
It seems like yesterday…
…[Chorus]
In the silence of the city night
When the lonely watch the sky in yearning
I, at rest, lie in peace beside you
I searched…
…to the good times
When it's over and sad times disappear
Memories take you back
To the lean times, in between times
To the days of yesteryear…

I wouldn't wait for something lost inside.
I won't stay still, but I'll standby long enough to ward off
All those words flowing…
…through me.
I won't award- the same again.
And I won't fall into your trap.
The words flow through me like a cancer.
Word flow…
…threw me, because you're so fucking beautiful.
Don't take my eyes off of me.
But I won't fall into the trap of yesteryear
Yet I stand…

Say what's the name of this Nation?
Zulus
Zulus
And who's gonna get on down?
The Cosmic Force
The Cosmic Force
Chitty-chitty…
…everybody knows that we rock out of sight
Say we are the best in the creation
We go by the name of the Mighty Zulu Nation
We're…
…the Mighty Zulus, we're one of a crew
We're comin by, we're comin through
We're worldwide and we're citywide
Cause we shock…

In the blackout, the orchestra plays NORMA's "LULABY," and soon the lights come up on the cold dawn of the opening scene. There's…
…down, in the pool. The entrance hall of the house is crowded with REPORTERS, POLICE, NEWSREEL CREWS with their cameras, ALL fired…
…over the murder house, Norma Desmond, famed star of yesteryear, is in a state of complete mental shock.

…[Verse]
Ramblin' man
Pocket aces in the gamblin' hand
Putting words together hand in hand like an ampersand
The repetition of…
…ain't heard shit like my sound yet
In fact it's more rare than a dry towelette with the
Numbing effect of a cortisone shot
And that feeling of…
…in the better spirit of yesteryear
I rap like your drunk uncle behaves
And say fuck it I'm going in like spelunkers to caves
Abstract in the fashion of…

…scarlet eyes
She returned, was wearing that rose so well
Broke down and cried because of the sun that had been up all day…
…flowers past
Memories of yesteryear, is a part of you we'll travel here
Now the curtains call this day upon us
So ride this wave on wings of…
…the sunlight
Again with a song, sung by angels of love
Who am I now?
In the distance I hear broken words
Calling me to the rhythmless core…

…the taker being took
The world is full of Joes and Normas
Older woman, very well-to-do
Meets younger man, the standard cue
For two mechanical…

And as dawn breaks over the murder house, Norma Desmond, famed star of yesteryear, is in a state of complete mental shock…

It's the oldest story in the book
Come see the taker being took

Every little step we take breaks the dreams
Of a war pig itching to re-stitch the seams
[Vast Aire]
Namsayin…
…like Saran
Plus enter battles talkin sh*t like "Look mom, no hands"
I'm tired of cats tryin to sum me
You can't add that far yet…
…to manufacture hearts
Start with cadaver parts and a blueprint
He followed the precedent set by war pigs of a yesteryear
Let the tears braid…

Every little step we take breaks the dreams
Of a warm pig itching to re-stitch the seams
Namsayin, when I walk, I want…
…talkin' shit like
'Look mom, no hands!'
I'm tired of cats tryin' to sum me
You can't add that far yet…
…the precedence
Set by war pigs of a yesteryear
Let the tears pray
Skip a stone over the reservoir
To shake the whole charade
Hmm gun play…

In the twilight,
The faint echos of despair,
Waft through my open window - as the snow
Descends softly to the earth - where…
…raced with the thoughts of yesteryear,
Why has this tragedy befallen me?
Will this all show itself to be a dream?
Awakened…
…by a scream, visions of,
The way in which the tears streamed down your face.
I never said goodbye, I couldn't speak
Trying to form the words…

Just leave me hear, just let me lie here for a moment to watch all of my dreams collapse before me because it's…
…these exact seconds I have yearned to pass. Still I am waiting for the sun only to welcome the rain as it falls across my face, like the regrets of…
…be in tears or maybe I'll learn, that I'm sorry cannot change on single thing, hidden behind the thoughts of yesteryear. Love once taken with each grain of salt. And I'll stare straight into the sun.

An unmade bed and three words all too rarely said,
We share a sickness, expanding roots beneath the ground,
Deeper…
…were drowning in an ocean of misplaced potential, staking claim to what we knew,
We invented our realities, and painted crazy…
…all the residents of yesteryear reside, in secret dwellings underneath the street, trapped dissatisfied…
