Against 240 volts he brushed.
Now Nashes is home to his ashes....

keep the pedals turning
Within the cogs inside your mind
Staying late to get it done
With solutions that you find

Skipping lunch time after time
The weights drops...

Spirits set free

Cherry blossoms
Pink carpet pathway;

Frozen ice break
Furry feeling
Fantastic union
Frosty foreheads
Fear...
