Are You Sure About the Runway Model, Bro

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THE RUNWAY MODEL?
Have  a picnic on a perfectly picked Sunday
Have someone tell me I’m loved by a model on the runway
Look out my window and find trees made of gold
With leaves of diamonds for our eyes to behold

Play with a new puppy who has floppy ears
Someone to wipe away my tears and fears
Laugh with a little one on the monkey bars
Take a safe and pleasant ride up to Mars

Sit in the Santiago sun with that certain one
Make love to that certain one when the day is done
Build castles of sand that the tide can’t wash away
Ride at Christmas night on Santa’s sleigh

Live with the knowledge that everyone on earth has enough to eat
And enough safe drinking water when they suffer from the heat
I’ve named all of these blessed things and here is why
Instead of doing all these wondrous things I’d really rather die
