<description>I thought I would go with something more minimal today, but then I remembered it&apos;s Friday and I&apos;d rather kick off the weekend with something more party-centric. So instead, today&apos;s download is from masher-upper, party DJ and beat plunderer Diplo....</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p><br />
The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea<br />
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating<br />
Another boy was sliding up the hallway<br />
He merged perfectly with the hallway,<br />
He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway</p>

<p>The boy looked at johnny, johnny wanted to run,<br />
But the movie kept moving as planned<br />
The boy took johnny, he pushed him against the locker,<br />
He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in johnny<br />
The boy disappeared, johnny fell on his knees,<br />
Started crashing his head against the locker,<br />
Started crashing his head against the locker,<br />
Started laughing hysterically</p>

<p>When suddenly johnny gets the feeling hes being surrounded by<br />
Horses, horses, horses, horses<br />
Coming in in all directions<br />
White shining silver studs with their nose in flames,<br />
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.<br />
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney<br />
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this<br />
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator<br />
And you twist the twister like your baby sister<br />
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister<br />
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,<br />
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,<br />
Got to lose control and then you take control,<br />
Then youre rolled down on your back and you like it like that,<br />
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,<br />
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi</p>

<p>Life is filled with holes, johnnys laying there, his sperm coffin<br />
Angel looks down at him and says, oh, pretty boy,<br />
Cant you show me nothing but surrender ?<br />
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,<br />
Taped to his chest theres the answer,<br />
You got pen knives and jack knives and<br />
Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred<br />
Then he cries, then he screams, saying<br />
Life is full of pain, Im cruisin through my brain<br />
And I fill my nose with snow and go rimbaud,<br />
Go rimbaud, go rimbaud,<br />
And go johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi</p>

<p>Theres a little place, a place called space<br />
Its a pretty little place, its across the tracks,<br />
Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that,<br />
You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that,<br />
And the name of the band is the<br />
Twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes,<br />
Twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes</p>

<p>Baby calm down, better calm down,<br />
In the night, in the eye of the forest<br />
Theres a mare black and shining with yellow hair,<br />
I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair,<br />
I didnt waste time, I just walked right up and saw that<br />
Up there -- there is a sea<br />
Up there -- there is a sea<br />
Up there -- there is a sea<br />
The seas the possibility<br />
There is no land but the land<br />
(up there is just a sea of possibilities)<br />
There is no sea but the sea<br />
(up there is a wall of possibilities)<br />
There is no keeper but the key<br />
(up there there are several walls of possibilities)<br />
Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities.<br />
(up there)<br />
I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me<br />
I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor<br />
(in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee<br />
(on the screen)<br />
And I looked at johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame<br />
(in the heart of man)<br />
The waves were coming in like arabian stallions<br />
Gradually lapping into sea horses<br />
He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat<br />
(the spoon)<br />
And let it deep in<br />
(the veins)<br />
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities<br />
It started hardening<br />
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities<br />
It started hardening in my hand<br />
And I felt the arrows of desire</p>

<p>I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour<br />
But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area<br />
(go rimbaud go rimbaud go rimbaud)<br />
And go johnny go and do the watusi,<br />
Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi ...<br />
Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling<br />
Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes were together twining<br />
Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse<br />
And my fingers all entwined through the air,<br />
I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers,<br />
(I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it)<br />
The hairs were like wires going through my body<br />
I I thats how i<br />
Thats how i<br />
I died<br />
(at that tower of babel they knew what they were after)<br />
(they knew what they were after)<br />
[everything on the current] moved up<br />
I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth,<br />
Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility<br />
Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities<br />
Theres no land but the land</p>

<p>Looked at my hands, and theres a red stream<br />
That went streaming through the sands like fingers,<br />
Like arteries, like fingers<br />
(how much fits between the eyes of a horse? )<br />
He lay, pressing it against his throat (your eyes)<br />
He opened his throat (your eyes)<br />
His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad pituitary glands<br />
The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) pitched that nobody heard,<br />
No one heard that cry,<br />
No one heard (johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat,<br />
(his fingers)<br />
Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly,<br />
And so he seized the first<br />
(his vocal chords shot up)<br />
(possibility)<br />
(like mad pituitary glands)<br />
It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate<br />
(there is nothing happening at all)<br />
And go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep<br />
Saw this sweet young thing (fender one)<br />
Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter</p>

<p>In the sheets<br />
There was a man<br />
Dancing around<br />
To the simple<br />
Rock & roll<br />
Song</p>]]></description>
