Drip, Drop (ft. Marguerite Gol​é​)

from Back Up, Black Out by E. Oks

lyrics

[Fifth Dream]
(E. Oks) I was born at the drip of the drip,
And I’ll keep on ‘till the rippling stops
(Marguerite) Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohhh…
Never gonna stop…

[Verse 1 – E. Oks]
It all started at the tick of a tock:
God, sitting at the tip of the top,
‘Till love started looking for some liquor to cop
And patience to itching for it’s pick of the crop
Lick of pop, a nickel to cop,
And so the two started flipping birds
Hoping that pigeon would squawk,
And if it didn’t they would hit it with rocks,
Sit and just watch,
Loved it when the blooded wings fidget and flop

[Chorus Version Two]

[Verse 2- E. Oks]
Craving cut corners to grab some grub
That he could feast on,
Pacing back and forth until the friction
Left the street gone,
Feets all: tangled and off beat,
Mangled as two to tango
To one love up at the cross street,
Meanwhile, five floors above, Donat be
All up at the top of the roof,
'Cause he'd broken the loop,
Burned up the barbwrire
and opened the coop.
And then he hit the dime as they fled,
Felt like he was ten again,
Reclining in bed,
And he watched as the pigeons got
To lining the edge
Of the top of the roof across, where a Dr. was docked
And soon got to assigning them meds,
Until Donat said: "Take that and you'll be punched in the gut!
Behind that white coat he's tucked in a pump!
There's one love, it's up to you to suck it on up,"
Confused, one of the pigeons just said fuck it and jumped...

[Chorus 3]

[Outro]
(La Mama) "Honey, wake up..."
