My Soul, Oh My

my soul, oh my 
it's a sweeping, sealing cry 
a supernova quasar lighted bright 
  
and how do you 
speak and cry and smile 
teach my soul 
you you you you you 
can try 
  
my my my device, i use thrice 
into to to to the new world i sail 
on rails  
can't fail 
so frail 
  
dont be shy 
they've told me so many times 
why why why why 
can't i be shy 
just sit back 
and enjoy the vibe 
my style 
but must be wild 
to prove my guile 
  
have you ever wanted to play some music 
but didn't know the first thing to do? 
well that's me right now 
right here 
and i'm sittin' here playin' a song 
  
well i guess one young boy wasn't enough 
for the tearstained ritual 
that you carried out in your momma's basement 
  
yeah i guess one young boy wasn't enough 
for your lanky toothed grin to shred 
  
what the hell even is a soul?
