[Intro]

(One, two, three, four)


[Verse 1]

A microphone has an aura of sounds around it

When the lips make contact, facts of fiction surround it

Unbounded, noises founded, phrases mounted

But I get grounded

Allow it and it will flow through the screen

Soft spoken or a scream

Will stream through the means of time

That will amplify the vibe which I thrive for

Mental doors or windows, open or close

Depending on which moments I chose


[Chorus]

Guitars, bass, check your tone

(Yo, where's Mike B?) I'm on the microphone

(And Barry C?) He rocks hard like stone

The four elements, Tokyo to Rome


[Verse 2]

Flows occur, blank pages turn into rows of words

Or rows of phases in a particular matrix

The basis for this is instruments with a microphone

Recycle tone through the cords to clone

The not shown, but heard, so observe

The superb, yet absurd

Got no reason for concern


[Chorus]

Guitars, bass, check your tone

(Yo, where's Mike B?) I'm on the microphone

(And Barry C?) He rocks hard like stone

The four elements, Tokyo to Rome


[Bridge]

When I'm feeling this way, I just must play

I release me through the urgency

Our consciousness is collective

This force we've made will always remain


[Verse 3]

Music completes a certain part of me

But there's not enough words to express me fully

We've been pushing on the cord to the outlet

Of the electrical socket

Music transforms form into thorn

That's poking the old prick looking at kiddie porn

I scorn not born locked to mock

Not the flock so us four chose to rock


[Chorus]

Guitars, bass, check your tone

(Yo, where's Mike B?) I'm on the microphone

(And Barry C?) He rocks hard like stone

The four elements, Tokyo to Rome

Guitars, bass, check your tone

(Yo, where's Mike B?) I'm on the microphone

(And Barry C?) He rocks hard like stone

The four elements, Tokyo to Rome


[Bridge]

When I'm feeling this way, I just must play

I release me through the urgency

Our consciousness is collective

This force we've made will always remain


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

When I'm feeling this way, I just must play

I release me through the urgency

Our consciousness is collective

This force we've made will always remain

When I'm feeling this way, I just must play

I release me through the urgency

Our consciousness is collective

This force we've made will always remain

(One, two, three, four)


[Outro]

(Four, four)

(Four, four)

(Four, four)

(Four, four)
