Hilikus lyrics

About a hundred years ago now

Thought I was left for dead

Soliloquy, she was my

A picture, a wake

My metaphoric friend

So then I fell in love with

An irony named Life

It taught me this from that and

A picture, a wake

You're gonna be hilikus

History has a tendency

To block out the popular beliefs

About the leaders of the time

So glisten with my syllables

And ponder the thought

Maybe they should have

Had to dedicate more to it, go

You've got to be

So good to be

You've got to be hilikus

So I took a walk out side

With my new found friend

And the knowledge imbibe

I figured I'd find another

With the same attitude

Yes, then maybe I could talk

To someone other than myself

The doors are swinging wide open

A positive attitude

And the ilk in my pocket

Had a lot to do

With my new found friend

The hilikus

History has a tendency

To block out the popular beliefs

About the leaders of the time

So glisten with my syllables

And ponder the thought

Maybe they should have

Had to dedicate more to it, go

You've got to be

So good to be

You've got to be hilikus [x5]

History has a tendency

To block out the popular beliefs

About the leaders of the time

So glisten with my syllables

And ponder the thought

Maybe they should have

Had to dedicate more to it, go

You've got to be

So good to be

You've got to be hilikus [x5]

So good to be hilikus [x4]
