Aesop Rock's lyrics

They're very unique and the imagery he uses is very different. Very poetic rhymes.. Anybody listen to Aesop or any other lyricists you want to comment on?
Here's one of my favorites:
The water ain't safe, the land's made of water
I hug a half empty glass my dignity's
trying to corner
I'm trying to see the future in a tea cup and a saucer
But I rather be drinking
coffee with my cigarette foster
And a run away buckle the cloud-nine fantasy filter to force
the brutal truth
Of daily market place wars through the roof
I mean I stood beneath the icicles
that bleed under the yawning
And magically mastered the great absorbing of spirit falling
But
I'm sick, I've plowed these fields a thousand times over
Sold botanicle research studies
to farmers with whole quarters
And when science proposes to art besides that peace-full
sea
I'll be that cat with a ring on a pillow shouting finally
Take a number, the apple seeds
rained upon each slumber
A hundred thousand freaks on parade for the village hunter
My every
when acted upon has gone loopy
But I play a game called lets prepare barnacle city for the end
or new sink
I split the radius at go getter bellies, reconnaissance
Seeping fossil genie
bottle optimist freeze
Run from the fountain but the fountain is a deseret optical tease
Tummy
full of sand running man impossible stop
There's a wing in my gut and i'm all dust
Surfing
the earth and I dine-rise certainly flushed
Now one in the hands work to and top the toilet
seater
But what lies inside my heart is off the mother f**king meter

[Chorus]
See the Water
ain't safe no more
'I'm just trying to build my self to act as a truley better man damn'
See
the water ain't safe no more
'Nah nah the water ain't safe no more'
I'm just trying to be a solid
oak tree for every child to carve its name across
'The water ain't safe no more'
I'm just trying
to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane can offer
'I'm just trying to be some body I can
talk to in the morining with a smile'
The Water ain't safe no more..

[Verse Two]

And i've
always been a 40 night chronologic hostage
Rusted hook in the lip of the monarch
Wingless
Anime
I don't play in the man race cycle
Hope floater
Gloating inside carnal indifference
till doom cops are slight and
potent quotas
I'm 20 something pumping acrylic tomorrow side
ways
Blazing passage with a map tattooed on the back of the classless
Now tip toe across a
lost cause
Because a lost cause found
Don't mean you found a cause
That means you found a
lost cause
Ok now ive been here for role playing
Slaying my here and now
To benefit consumption
for my peers stiring the plow
And its incredible
Handy jackets turn numerals to sentinels
But
bad apples ain't sweet and cretins ain't that memorable
I'm Mozart with a focus on the tide
Hiding
the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine
I wear a tiger stripped ego and bilbo act
my progression
With a kingliness formulated through the flesh of the oppressors
God had
a flask I can prove it
You really think the 13 loops that loose daughter
spawned me a sober
unit, check potion
Addressed the ghost inside my TV with a ruler
At hear to the back bone stone
pusher
Here ten thousand hackers deep in a movment
Thats 20,000 crucial ruby heels clicking
in unisan
It's beautiful, truly beautiful
I keep a stick inside my hand
and carve my name
inside every wall of the falling hologram

[Chorus]
See the Water ain't safe no more
'I'm
just trying to build my self to act as a truley better man damn'
See the water ain't safe no more
'Nah
nah the water ain't safe no more'
I'm just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve
its name across
'The water ain't safe no more'
I'm just trying to be the dream of ever peasant
the hurricane can offer
'I'm just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morining with a
smile'
The Water ain't safe no more...
