Harlem Trotter - Lyrics
“I’m living in a box,
And you know that I’m claustrophobic.
I am living day to day,
And yet the people they don’t know it.
I am wading through the deepest tides,
And yet I still don’t show it.
Maybe one day I can see, ascend,
And live the truest moment.
How?
The only question on my mind, lately
Living like an escapee,
Maybe I may break free,
Say please,
Before your cup is filled up with water;
Watch it dribble overflow,
Just like the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water,
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water,
Watch it dribble over, overflow;
Harlem Globe Trotter.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Watch it dribble over, overflow;
Harlem Globe Trotter
————————————————-
Running round in circles,
Saying, “I can keep up with the pace”.
But little did I know I’m not the one who is inside the race;
Not the only one who is inside this world I have to face;
Not the only one inside a dream and also out of place.
In space,
I feel like a cosmic contradiction,
Was I born from supernovas,
Or a galactic form of “-diction”?
Masquerade around this realm,
I got no sword, or shield or helm;
But I would surely wear them well,
I’ll fill your cup with just a spell.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water,
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Watch it dribble over, overflow,
Harlem Globe Trotter.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Watch it dribble over, overflow;
Harlem Globe Trotter.

Masquerade around this realm;
I got no sword, or shield or helm.
Maybe if I stay in time,
Our mind and souls they will combine.
I am wading through the deepest tides,
And yet I still don’t show it.
Maybe one day I can see, ascend,
And live the truest moment.
Running round in circles,
Saying, “I can keep up with the pace”,
But little did I know I’m not the one who is inside the race;
Not the only one inside this world that I will have to face;
I’ll fill your cup with water in a way that will create some space.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Watch it dribble over, overflow;
Harlem Globe Trotter.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with water.
Say please,
Say please,
Cup is filled with waters
Watch it dribble over, overflow;
Harlem Globe Trotter.”
