Oliver Twist by Avey Tare from the album Down There (2010)

----------------------------------------------------------|
Lyricsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Movie Sample: He saw what he would look in the rock and see what was in there and I
guess that day he saw a skull...one of his dark days.-–-Pothead---
In through the door in my living room
I dont wanna know the aura from my bathroom.
Should I pull up the floor from my kitchen
So I could feel the dirt while Im doing all my dishes?
To live in a house but without breathing
Is a luxury when you (who) understand its meaning.
But in the dark what am I dreaming?
The galaxy of stars above a ceiling
In my eye Im understanding what I see its hard to think about the time it takes to get 
from space to me.
Yeah I think that you are,
Yeah I think that you are but I didnt know whether I should be and then there's the
thinking, and then Im thinking of the many who have been here (OR the many who have been 
me ?)
(oooohhhh)
Ocean, why do we gotta stick here when we're stuck inside the motion?
City grind OR Sick rhyme (not sure),
It’s hard to sit myself down when I just think about the ocean.
Oh, I'm crying.
Shouldn't I be content with what I got and also dying?
Demanding I receive something I enjoy if I acquire
and I wonder if its me whos just a thief, taking a stash and blazing the grass, digging
a hole and digging it deep,
(dig for a while)
yeah dig for a while cause you never know when to plant the seed, and I must start
thinking, and Im thinking of the many whod have been here.
(mmmm mmhhhhmmmmmm mmmmmmm)x2
It's going to be a new world with us,
It's going to be a founding flaw //OR fine day all. (not sure)
And
If I had some kind of need
Maybe the thing I need is the thing Ive got
And if I look inside of me
Ill find the thing that gets me to the bot[tom].
And I know that there are needy
Some are good, but some are rotten
Why should I motivate the needs
When I know my needs should be forgotten.
x3

Lyricsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Movie Sample: He saw what he would look in the rock and see what was in there and I

guess that day he saw a skull...one of his dark days.-–-Pothead---

In through the door in my living room

I dont wanna know the aura from my bathroom.

Should I pull up the floor from my kitchen

So I could feel the dirt while Im doing all my dishes?

To live in a house but without breathing

Is a luxury when you (who) understand its meaning.

But in the dark what am I dreaming?

The galaxy of stars above a ceiling

In my eye Im understanding what I see its hard to think about the time it takes to get

from space to me.

Yeah I think that you are,

Yeah I think that you are but I didnt know whether I should be and then there's the

thinking, and then Im thinking of the many who have been here (OR the many who have been

me ?)

(oooohhhh)

Ocean, why do we gotta stick here when we're stuck inside the motion?

City grind OR Sick rhyme (not sure),

It’s hard to sit myself down when I just think about the ocean.

Oh, I'm crying.

Shouldn't I be content with what I got and also dying?

Demanding I receive something I enjoy if I acquire

and I wonder if its me whos just a thief, taking a stash and blazing the grass, digging

a hole and digging it deep,

(dig for a while)

yeah dig for a while cause you never know when to plant the seed, and I must start

thinking, and Im thinking of the many whod have been here.

(mmmm mmhhhhmmmmmm mmmmmmm)x2

It's going to be a new world with us,

It's going to be a founding flaw //OR fine day all. (not sure)

And

If I had some kind of need

Maybe the thing I need is the thing Ive got

And if I look inside of me

Ill find the thing that gets me to the bot[tom].

And I know that there are needy

Some are good, but some are rotten

Why should I motivate the needs

When I know my needs should be forgotten.
