lyrics

When we gotta duck n dive we talk oblique
Twist the pragmatics n jam the frequencies
Thieves’ cant rebooted for the 21 C
Squirrels runnin’ ADHD thru my PTSD

From Romany root to the beat speak age
It’s a literati party to keep us out the cage
We mix it up good, every week a new barker
From Tony Burgess to Amiri Baraka

Hit the road Jack, Kerouac code
Fibre sings to the underground node
Hit the road Jack, word spaghetti
Surveillance don’t know a yentl from a yeti
Hit the road…

Schlep to the sports, boost a Micky Mantle
Nazis can’t walk if they got no ankles
We’re our own triple zero, cops is chocolate teapots
See the toffee word assortment bouncin’ off the woodentops

Hit the road Jack, Kerouac code
Fibre sings to the underground node
Hit the road Jack, word spaghetti
Surveillance don’t know a yentl from a yeti
Hit the road…

Satori ain’t no meat-stick, meet ya where the stars leave holes
What’s that even mean? The Shadow knows
Poetic preservation, lingua franca, shifting code
A dancing tongue’ll keep ya off the ropes and on the road

Hit the road Jack, Kerouac code
Fibre sings to the underground node
Hit the road Jack, word spaghetti
Surveillance don’t know a yentl from a yeti
Hit the road…
