The Doctor Said I'm Suffering From 'Bicycle Face'

I said I ain't been on no bike He said, 'Well, there it is.' Premature baldness and popcorn muscles I told him I got a B in History He said, 'What a life you're gonna have.' This is what I'm paying for Man hugs and comic sans garage dweller As I lay in bed on my side With the book open next to my eyeball Country music in one ear Chewing three pieces of gum simultaneously Offering extra strong mints to friends I am inside a wooden nesting doll The windscreen is frozen over I am a dog looking out the driver's window A constant expression of weariness He wants to see me again in a month He asks for a mint as I leave I ask reception for a shovel to dig to Disappointment Island
