I'd write another love song except it would make me emote much more than I could comfortably cope witH my inner child and HIS inner voice I am a 80s child with a village voice I'm a HIDDEN child with an INNER VOICE SPEAKINGin denial tongues. If a hummingbird beats it's wings at 8 - 10 beats per second- what? Why would you talk about your mothers' heart rate It's BPM makes your body temp go to 30 degrees below. but we all agreed not to mention me: I believe in my record collection. I will conceive wat you believe in the discovery channel says spider-bites can kill me! It's cute how the demon can cue the reasons but just don't trip him or he'll fall in your semen there comes a time but dont get em high comes a time but don't get em high the kids you mind just dont get em high there comes a time but don't make em high You're lost. you have no core.

Trying times I know you're there but only one of us can not get out of it yea Ive seen you (open up I'll believe you) you're the enemy when I get too high I can rely On you to take me there but only one of us will remain stuck out there and I walk through the side I'm on the inside la la la la inside la la laa trying times every day around me and if I ever get out. I'll write someday. doo dahh do dah wah wah wah doo dah doo dah "What is the difference between a truck full of bowling balls and a truck full of dead babies?" "you give up?" yes I do... (you can't use a pitchfork to unload the bowling balls.) Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa when I get too high when I get too high when I get too high when I get too high (too high) when I get too high (too high) when I get too high (too high) when I get too high (too high) when I get too high (too high) when I get too high (too high) dragonflies pick and stare all around you fools aware of the smoke that surrounds me it's a burden that no one should have to hold. . . but I'm not over it.

I'm still here still humming your song after all this time Hey paper trail what's up? can i bum a cigarette? does my hair look gay? well I'm not the ex-actress with a chip on her shoulder at least not today.
