My strange tears.
The genie's eyes, oh genie's eyes.
Gather the sun's spears.

To achieve a slimmer epitome.
You and I are friends.
Envy is...

Take a hammer
Step up to the game
Whack a Mole?
Nope! Whack a Dummy!

You don't like staying home?
To bad, Jack! Put a lock on it!

The stubborn nostalgia of a long'-gone ardor

Was as sweet as perfume of roses
And as enjoyable...

in order to survive, and having less to spend

  The whole wide world to explore and roam
Sure that somewhere else he'd find
  The fortune he had for himself in mind...

Which I slap on my welts to ease up on the pain
And resolve to...

then we go round the mulberry bush

Provokingly they may slap me...

Angels always on our side
When things get too rough and crazy

Even if we're unaware
They protect us when we find

Is a sticky royal red
pulsing deeper than the
windshield shards that open 
troughs in tingling legs
 
Things are dark

No noise except for the creaking of a fan...

From my heart that's where they stay
Secretly until the day
I see injustice come along
