SMOOTH WATER

from MAGNETIC NORTH (LP) by Frank America

/

lyrics

wait what are we talking about here?
"he's a flat-earther"
well i prefer geocentric direct realist
obviously there are altitude shifts
in valleys mountains n shit ,
however once you hit
see level the earth appears to remain entirely flat
as far as we know

water don't adhere
to the exterior
of a spinning sphere
that's why im sittin here
it don't take a seer
to see the lake from here
the earth is water man
and the water's clear

yer filled with water too
just as the spirit moved
breath on the waters knew
how to paint our highest groove ~
horizons level too
that's cuz the waters smooth
its just the devil who
told you what you saw ain't true

that name is dun to me cuz im ova dat
geocentric direct realist up in this bitch where you at?
cuz i be talkin' bout erything that's plane to see
ain't no curve from a plane how its at the beach?

you talkin' scientism… talkin gravity?
tesla said the theory just a beggar taken for a king
you ain't gotta model so why we sposedta care?
don't need a model of my bowels prove da shit is there

i don't need a model for my soul to know
the seed don't need a model for the tree ta show
the cedar from the oldest forest that'll grow
to be there like a golden taurus battle call
the season for the oldest chorus that we know
the keys in da ignition of the star that lives within you now
the reason for ambition is the part of you that gets it wow


yes we know you think the earth is tilted at 23.4 degrees,
spinning at 1,000 mph, orbiting our sun
93 million miles away at 66,000 mph,
while the entire solar system. located in the orion spur circles the galaxy
at half a million mph once every 240 million years, meanwhile the
whole galaxy, which is ~5.8 quadrillion miles in diameter, moves extrargalactically to the tune of of 1.4 million miles per hour towards the constellation vega*."

but…

water don't adhere
to the exterior
of a spinning sphere
that's why im sittin here
it don't take a seer
to see the lake from here
the earth is water man
and the water's clear

yer filled with water too
just as the spirit moved
breath on the waters knew
how to paint our highest groove ~
horizons level too
that's cuz the waters smooth
its just the devil who
told you what you saw ain't true

[*correction Lyra, of which Vega is the brightest star]
