Self Portrait Songtext

von Gonzales

I said I was a musical genius.

I said I was a musical genius.

I said I was a musical genius,
I repeated it until it became meaningless.
Because you assumed I was joking,
And then you thought about it,
Like - "he's not joking".
Listen, it's entertainment but if you listen the genius is in the arrangements.
See I wasn't kidding, wasn't bullshitting
Anyways you can't fire me now, because I'm quitting.

I'm at home in a taxi cab
Self absorbed,
The musical Maxi Pad
I like sunsets,
Long walks on the beach,
I dont rap like Big Poppa,
Because I don't preach.

The closer I get to closure,
I realise writing this is shear torture,
Today is a real scorcher,
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait.

The closer I get to closure,
I realise writing this is shear torture,
Today is a real scorcher,
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait.

I'm way beyond snob.
I'm a Louis Vuitton slob.
You want the truth? No prob.
I see the face of God in a blow job.
I see the truth in Eric Cartmen
And Salavdor Dali
And Dolly Parton
And even Chris Martin
When I dance to Viva La Vida alone in my apartment

I'm at home in a taxi cab
Self absorbed,
The musical Maxi Pad
I like sunsets,
Long walks on the beach,
I dont rap like Big Poppa,
Because I don't preach.

The closer I get to closure,
I realise writing this is shear torture,
Today is a real scorcher,
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait.

The closer I get to closure
I realise writing this is shear torture,
Today is a real scorcher,
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait.

This self portrait I wanna touch it
I love it but I want to divorce it
Who there?
It's only despair
I try to avoid the void but it's just there.
So when I grow grey like Dorian
I won't be boring
Because I think about historians.
I'm going through a difficult stage
From young Nicholas Cage to present day Nicholas Cage.
I'm almost 40
There's a bunch of folk to whom I should say sorry.
I should write down my whole life story.
Chilly Gonzo, momento mori.

I'm at home in a taxi cab
Self absorbed,
A musical Maxi Pad
I like sunsets,
Long walks on the beach,
I dont rap like Big Poppa,
Because I don't preach.

The closer I get to closure,
I realise writing this is shear torture,
Today is a real scorcher,
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait.

The closer I get to closure,
I realise writing this is shear torture,
Today is a real scorcher,
I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait.
