There To Heaven In 18 Years

Hey ! Who turned the friggin' lights out. swimming in the warm bliss of a moment to a safety of purpose a beating heart explained by many , understood by none through a wall of water , wailing and life to plastic, rubber , hands , sound and lights Now , What is this ? It's my flippin' life! sitting on the floor with a playpen overhead , weighted with books playing cowboys and indians in the groves With B-B guns and split dried peas Look , there's the byes! Just like they- she had beautiful blue eyes , I met her when she still hated boys and we grew together in lives and school when I left for college she was leaving for basic training W..hooo! Where did that come from? from college party with one too many beers I was the only one going home, didn't get there I flew from the car cause I did not like belts in the ditch , tasted blood , drifted away Do I get to stay here?..............(whisper)...... Do I Really!
