The Alchemist
Vin Skully
[Intro]
For every problem life seems, a faithful friend to share
For every sigh a sweet song
And an answer for each prayer
You and I have been friends for a long time

[Chorus]
Big grip, get flipped
Hand over fist, that's quick
Snake oil salesman with the pitch, that's slick
Ain't no tellin' when it end
No matter the spin, I know when I got a hit
That's it, that shit get sent over the fence
I'm home, another run on the road, look how I slid
I remember the cold and shruggin' 'til I was sore inside the crib

[Verse]
I don't know what it is
I remember the ghost inside the crib
Hosin' down the problem with gin and tonic
How to stay afloat in a bottomless pit
The trick is to stop fallin'
Only option to start with a step, bet
Son of father and death
Big mama with the vision of sorrow, now I know why they wept
I watched it brew into a quarrel, I know just what to bet
Now we halvin' like Dewey Cox out in the shed
I had to unify all the plurals in pairs
I promise you don't truly want no parts of this shit
A couple side splitters got me outta some jams
I had to style a little so the killers could laugh
[Chorus]
Big grip, get flipped
Hand over fist, that's quick
Snake oil salesman with the pitch
Ain't no tellin' when it end
No matter the spin, I know when I got a hit
That's it, that shit get sent over the fence
I'm home, another run on the road, look how I slid
I remember the cold and shruggin' 'til I was sore inside the crib
Now I know what it is

[Outro]
I remember
You know everybody has their different, uh, ways
And what they use 'em for
But we'll let them explain that to you
