All together one we go Neurotically traipsing unreceptive asphalt Summer boulder-boots wear my thoughts Dizzy-Swarmed-Bitchy thoughts deplete the air The air is cosmonaut thin (Though I suspect thick by astronaut standards) My lungs protest With dysfunctional vocal-cords From an indelicate left-breast that has a flippin’ boot receipt stapled to it I remove my space helmet to smell the roses And then (Quite obviously) Cry Like It’s 1999 All together, together all. All together one we go Neurotically traipsing unreceptive asphalt Muah!
