This song was a fun experiment with words. Similes of happiness. It's filled with random and nostalgic elements from my whole life that assemble a collage that gives me deep and layered happiness. It's about moments of joy. I hope this song makes you think of your moments of joy.
lyrics
Look me in the eyes
You can tell I'm satisfied
Not standing still like a radiator grill
Skate key happiness is like having all the dollar bills
Simplify the focus like yoda
Get down to work like a scholar
Lost in the creative process as a learner
Turning it around like an earner
Walking the dog like I was trying for the trophy
Moving through space like a yogi
Shades of red and orange like a bright fall season
Fits like a glove - Love is the reason
Look me in the eyes
You can tell I'm satisfied
Not standing still like a radiator grill
Skate key happiness is like having all the dollar bills
Taking every fact in as a statistician
Reading all the books like Abraham Lincoln
Attached to the phone like I'm Lily's Ernestine
Riding my bike all over the neighborhood like I was in ET
Thinking about the future like a I'm a space cadet teacher
Going to the carnivals like a starved thrill seeker
I was glued to the TV like an addict to a vice
Creative endeavors were nice
Simplify the focus like yoda
Look me in the eyes
You can tell i'm satisfied
Not standing still like a radiator grill
Skate key happiness is like having all the dollar bills
Look me in the eyes
You can tell i'm satisfied
Not standing still like a radiator grill
Skate key happiness is like having all the dollar bills

Iggy Pop waxes poetic about beef jerky and gas-station living on this taut, one-off collaboration with the experimental hip-hop musician. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2019
Imagine an extreme Yeezus, Arca, & FKA Twigs collab, as warped, hyperspeed lyrics collide with alien-like trap and hip-hop production. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 9, 2016
