Long Live (The Great Short Lived)
Ceschi

feat. Sole

Produced By: DJ Scientist

[Intro: Ceschi]

Nobody quite understood

Andy Kaufman's finest jokes

Even years after

All the cancer chewed away

Carmen Miranda's

Heart attack on the Durante show

Wasn't noticed until she

Faded the next day

When all our flesh disintegrates

We'll perform for the worms

Although the crowds will be letdowns

At least we'll still perform

[Verse I: Ceschi]

When you rub your eyes too hard and see spots

Those are only angels

Mixed with souls of the faded famous

Still putting on shows inside of a limbo dearly departed

Taken from a life early on

These trifling swan songs

Don't last long

The remains only stay

In an eardrum coffin

Lost in dense fog

It's funny but it's dead wrong

To pluck the gray hairs

Right out of a corpse's beard

And make a mask out of insignificance

Lingering around the stratosphere

So throw your fists up

For the fossilized apostles

Climb all over the graves of giants

To make yourself feel close to Colossal

[Hook: Ceschi] x4

Long live the great short lived

They all lived well

[Verse II: Sole]

I show that wear and tear on my face

And my clothes I wear, they tear

Cause I'm old like where my tears fell

In a cauldron

The elders stoned to death

In World War 1

On french battlefields

The avant-garde always died first

Die depressed, the way its gotta be

Down by booze

Clowned by shallow fools

Bitten by piranhas in shallow pools

I'm on a shadow run

Sippin 'my glass

And for them I'm always tipping my glass

It's half empty

Mostly gas

But its still a drink

[Hook]

[Bridge I:Sole]

Rest in a lost cause

Find no peace in a fresco

Nobody loves you like worms do

Show you the light like holes do

[Bridger I: Ceschi]

So rest in peace with musical pieces

Rotting around the guillotine

All of us remember something significant

But you weren't part of the final equation

[Bridge I: Sole]

[Bridge I: Ceschi]

[Bridge II: Sole]

And that’s dirt

You can't go deep without discovering a body

In cities you can't go deep without discovering a body

You can't go deep [x4]

[Bridge II: Ceschi]

The one man band it broke up

Before the world got choked up

Before anyone noticed, he dissolved into smoke and dust

The one man band it broke up

Before the world got choked up

And the few friends he gathered

Scattered ashes mixed with coke bumps

[Verse III: Sole]

We all know the drive is far

When the tongue weighs a ton

Although they don’t understand me

I carry a speech for when the Grammy's won

Torches don't get passed, they go out

The winner dies of dementia

And artists draw no pension

Its pecking your eyes while you're trying to read

Be the one to murder your faith while you're trying to believe

But don't fret

We all go down but look better in flames

It means nothing if only the tombstones remember our names

Only by pissing in the wind will you know the way its going

And only our fallen comrades know the true definition

(Of revolution)

Only by pissing in the wind will you know the way its going

And only our fallen comrades know the true definition

Of revolution

[Bridge II: Ceschi] x2

[Sole: overlapping Bridge II: Ceschi]

The bigger the giant

The harder it falls

It's simple physics idiots

The bigger the knife

The bigger the scar
