Downsizing, you're laid off....

Stay with me for a while
Run the extra...extra mile
Feelin' myself, getting anxious and calm,
My most delicious smelling balm

It was on early Monday, when a car ran into a truck,
It ran into a stationery truck, and they had no luck,

So, my life, losses only carry

Of course I make a honest try

Laughing at this guard that fell
Nothing else to do but play with the dirt under my nail

of twilight zone),
come October thirty first

two thousand, and nineteen
