Produced by Needlz, 88-Keys drops something on his blog for the fans of some show called LOST.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LOST!!
So most of this song’s references fly over my head like a kid in a hot air balloon.
So I’m going to leave it to you guys to let me know how on-point (or not) this track is.
Full lyrics and more after the jump
88-Keys:
Uh, yeah! My name is 88-Keys & that’s the name you’ll see on the manifest on Oceanic Flight 815. We’ve been Lost for a few weeks now. I don’t think anybody’s coming for us. Man… I remember this like it was yesterday; When I lost my bag on day one.
1st Verse:
I woke up from a concussion
With sand on my feet
No futher discussion
I’m a son of a beachWhere’s my briefcase?
It was in reach
I gotta drill these people
Just like a prez before he gets impeachedLet me go straight to the liar & pack rat
Scratch that
Take it to the man
With the desire for that hatchLocke – Don’t give me that
Philosophical crap
I know is gonna spew
From you esophagus trackJust tell me where my box is
Before I let everybody know
You couldn’t use your limbs
Where your sock isSave it!
I’ll just ask Sawyer
Now let’s face it
He’ll say he didn’t take itSo now I gotta go to Kate
To sweet talk Sawyer
Just to get my briefcase
For a kiss like cheap datesSawyer doesn’t have it
Nobody said they grabbed it
Now they’re all acting like
I’m chasing down a white rabbit like Jack didChorus:
My bag got lost
So now I’m looking for it
My bag wasn’t found
I got tooken for it – Lost
Have you see it
Anywhere around here? – Lost
Tell me if you see it
When the ground clearsI’m not taking orders from Jack
Like I’m his soldier
I don’t trust Katie
As far as my arms could throw her
Expect the unexpected
When they do drop bombs so
YouMightWantToConsiderHikingBoots.com2nd Verse:
Gotta investigate this matter further
This madam that I never heard of
Using words
So absurd toMe & everybody else
Except for Shannon
Distress calls
Who got balls like cannon?To tell me where my briefcase is
How ’bout you Michael?
You know us brothers gotta
Stick togetherI tried to play the race card
But my plan faultered
The only one he’s cares about
His lil’ man WalterThat’s the kid
Who could
Make reality
AlterI ain’t messing with him
So I slid
Back to Shannon
Just to see if I could find SayidAnd he’s over there
Talking to Boone
Let me see if I could get closer
And get the scoop like a spoonI heard him say,
“Stay the Hell away from my sister!”
Mr. Overprotective brother
Not only does he lover her but he used to kiss her… Under the coversChorus:
My bag got lost
So now I’m looking for it
My bag wasn’t found
I got tooken for it – Lost
Have you see it
Anywhere around here? – Lost
Tell me if you see it
When the ground clearsI’m not taking orders from Jack
Like I’m his soldier
I don’t trust Katie
As far as my arms could throw her
Expect the unexpected
When they do drop bombs so
YouMightWantToConsiderHikingBoots.com3rd Verse:
Now I searched all over the island
For my stuff
Man it’s rough
When these dead bodies are piled inThere’s only so much
That Jack can do
With polar bears running through the forrest
Attacking youNow let’s not forget Claire
She needs the prenatal
Care – Make the wrong move
And Charlie makes it fatal?I’m not really here for friends
Just my bag
I don’t care about you, your drugs
Or Drive ShaftNow why did Sun laugh
If she only speaks Korean?
There’s something she ain’t telling
There’s something Jin ain’t seeingShe making ginseng
Just to poison human beings
And everybody on the cave & beach
DisagreeingI should’ve asked Hurley
Early
‘Cause he took a head count
He knows everybody on the islandI described my baggage
He said he knows who had it
Now we gotta figure out
Why Ethan’s name wasn’t added to the manifestChorus:
My bag got lost
So now I’m looking for it
My bag wasn’t found
I got tooken for it – Lost
Have you see it
Anywhere around here? – Lost
Tell me if you see it
When the ground clearsI’m not taking orders from Jack
Like I’m his soldier
I don’t trust Katie
As far as my arms could throw her
Expect the unexpected
When they do drop bombs so
