lyrics
l thought you were just a library
But you’re making me look like a fool
I thought you were just an artifact
But you’re messing with our molecules
You leave letters I don’t understand
So cryptic are the glyphs you leave
Strewn about, your icons all around
I don’t get your ceremonies
You love the thrill of chase
’Twas your turn, now it is mine
We will always give and take
It’s how we spend our time
You strike fear into a young one’s soul
Your reputation precedes you
You are not very understood
So I guess I’ll have to deceive you
We wear masks and we do this dance
We’re each playing our part you see
You realize your time to rule is done
And so you hand the reigns to me
You love the thrill of chase
’Twas your turn, now it is mine
We will always give and take
It’s how we spend our time
But you’re making me look like a fool
I thought you were just an artifact
But you’re messing with our molecules
You leave letters I don’t understand
So cryptic are the glyphs you leave
Strewn about, your icons all around
I don’t get your ceremonies
You love the thrill of chase
’Twas your turn, now it is mine
We will always give and take
It’s how we spend our time
You strike fear into a young one’s soul
Your reputation precedes you
You are not very understood
So I guess I’ll have to deceive you
We wear masks and we do this dance
We’re each playing our part you see
You realize your time to rule is done
And so you hand the reigns to me
You love the thrill of chase
’Twas your turn, now it is mine
We will always give and take
It’s how we spend our time

Adam Sakellarides Los Angeles, California

He sings about love, science, politics, socially awkward people, and things like that. Now armed with witty lyrics, catchy melodies, and a bunch of mediocre jokes, he's ready to entertain you. ... more
