Jonathan
Hail Mary Mallon (Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic) Lyrics

Every couple summers, me and a couple hunters
Every once in a while, my friends and I (who are also skilled at hunting) like to visit this island full of impressive people

Like to row in from the isle of astonishing motherfuckers
We prefer to come to the island via rowing boats

Machines cleaner than three marines mothers rooms
Our machines are incredibly polished and spotless

Came in peace but leaving with keys to your VW
While we came in peace, we're leaving with the keys to your car

Needle-nosed pliers and a paragon of level design
We have special tools to enable us to perform tasks with great precision and skill

These are the weapons of bedeviling times
These tools are what we use during challenging times

If the medicine chest temper like a towny come untethered
If a medicine cabinet were to become ungovernable, like a wild and angry person

To a busker with a twenty minute "Downeaster Alexa" cover
It may be passed on to a street performer who may perform a long cover of Billy Joel's song "Downeaster Alexa"

I didn't start the fire but I plan to
I didn't initiate the crisis, but I intend to use it to my advantage

Dance around it naked with pagans, leggings, and pan-flutes
I'll fully embrace the chaos by freely expressing myself with others who share my beliefs and love for music

Shampoo, hairspray, hustler friends
I have a variety of friends and use various beauty products

Eat shit, die like it's just for men
I will face challenges head-on and face death like a true man

Most illinest, toast the mutineer of the year
Here's to the most rebellious and coolest person of the year

I'm a bum, my motherfucking beard has a beard
I may seem like a lazy person with unkempt facial hair

Hot stepper, leper with measurements all wrong
I'm a skilled dancer but may not fit society's expectation of appearance

I'm a beast, my motherfucking dog got a dog
I'm a powerful and aggressive individual, and even my pet dog is also quite intimidating

I'm sorry, deeper in the polygons
I apologize, I'm going into more complex details

Radical brats compare teeth on the promenade
Rebellious young people show off their teeth as they walk down the street

Mans worst friend, tragedy prone
Humans can be the worst enemies of other humans, and are often prone to tragedy

Skirting a neverending exodus from Madame Tussauds
Attempting to leave Madame Tussauds, but feeling like we can never escape it

He's an immediate threat, speaking nefarious tongues
He's a real danger, speaking in sinister and threatening language

Reeking of variant faith, drinking that heresy punch
His actions suggest he's a follower of a different faith from us and is drinking something considered blasphemous

I play defender at the center for the never enough
I play as a defender of those who never seem to have enough

You called it losing my way, I called it leveling up
While others see me as lost, I see myself as growing and advancing

Up up ante, Danny riding through the west wing
I'm increasing the stakes and taking more risks, like riding through a dangerous area

Big wheel bloody, fuzzy images of dead twins
The situations I'm in are chaotic and disturbing, with unclear images of dead twins

Cuff links, button-up, sloppy coat, no hat
I'm dressed in formal attire but in a careless and sloppy way, without a hat

Satan's mother, twisted sister, brothers Grimm and ghost dad
I'm associated with evil and disturbing figures, like Satan's mother and twisted sisters, as well as characters from the Brothers Grimm tales and a ghost dad

Number six throwback, Mickey Mantle Upper Deck
I'm wearing a sports jersey from a past era, like that of Mickey Mantle, who's on a valuable baseball card

Jackknife pegasus to basic bitches rubberneck
I impressively performed a jackknife dive and caught the attention of some basic and unremarkable women

Pinky swear, bible belt, o-ring on his spider bite
I make a promise (with a pinky swear) and am from a conservative, Christian region with a noticeable mark from a spider bite

Flat rate to the city if you iffy gypsies ride or die
I offer a fixed price for a ride to the city if some uncertain gypsies go with me until the end, come what may

Salt in his wounds (check) Rice in his stomach (check)
He's experienced physical discomfort, having salt in his wounds and rice in his stomach

Price on his head (check) Lice in his mullet (check)
He's being hunted with a bounty on his head and has lice in his hair

Head on a stake, feet gracing the ottoman
His decapitated head is on a spike, while his feet rest on an ottoman

Sweaty bandanna, come meet the amazing Jonathan
I'm wearing a bandana, but I'm a performer called the Amazing Jonathan, so come and see me

Hi Jonathan, meet the amazing Hollow Man
Hello, Jonathan, let me introduce myself as the incredible Hollow Man

Turn a snow globe into a lava lamp
I have the power to change and transform things, like turning a snow globe into a lava lamp

Backyard, black marshmallows on his olive branch
In his backyard, he has dark marshmallows speared on an olive branch

Dressed up like an evil villain dressed up like a soccer dad
I'm wearing a costume like that of a menacing antagonist but with a quirky twist, like that of a dad attending a soccer game

Mallon, we don't plan it
We (Hail Mary Mallon) don't have a set plan or strategy

Skull tats, banshee bunk in a bone hammock
I have skull tattoos and am sleeping in a bone hammock, like that of a banshee

Drunk from its own damage, sell 'cuz it's well made
A product became damaged from its own quality, yet it's still being sold because it's well-made

Ducks that are both sitting and standing at Hells gate
There are ducks present at the entrance of Hell, some of which are standing and some are sitting

Girl, you smell great
I'm complimenting a woman on her pleasant scent
