Song lyrics
Smile when I'm shy in ways
But I love
Everything of first impressions
Sweet successions
Been around for quite a while
I see you kept it versatile
Motivated to combine
Even when it's bad, it's fine
Did she say something that made you cry?
Have you lost it all?
The big fall
Oh, so slowly, comes back holy
Bishop takes a knight
But I will put up quite a fight, oh
Here's your ham on rye
Elementary, the chemistry
Means everything to me
Long progression's why
Set it off to collect knowledge
Quit a job and go to college
All about the aftershock
Swedish Latin super Funk
Moses of Manhattan made it great
Pain we celebrate
And I love
The long progression, indiscretion
Bishop takes a knight
But I will put up quite a fight, oh
Here's your ham on rye
Elementary, the chemistry
Means everything to me
Long progression's why
In between the reasons
Are the psychedelic seasons, oh
Simple as your stride
Information intimated, elegant and integrated
Sweep your floors with pride
Smile, cause it's all a ride
All supplied
And I love everything about this session
And this long progression
Bishop takes a knight
But I will put up quite a fight, oh
Here's your ham on rye
Elementary, the chemistry
Means everything to me
Long progression's why
In between the reasons
Are the psychedelic seasons, oh
Simple as your stride
Elementary, the chemistry
Means everything to me
The long progression's why
