And fooling everybody about your naked charity
There is no excuse for...

Lonely & hurt

Can't shake the guilt
Living in shame

Now, it’s fulfilling my satisfactions…
I was on my...

to put me under thumb
the gossip mill of word of mouth
learning how to swim
understanding genocide
living in this predicament
its me versus you, versus them

And I’ve got plans for you.
So put on that beautiful blue sundress,

It’s like having a penis that can’t get erect

Those who are afraid to not play...

Which one of these candidates will...

Trying and fighting, 
Fighting and trying, 
To...

Fostering ill will in a fowl-tasting soup
With feathers festering in a cruel stew

The fox chooses faves; others it condemns
Roost rulers say...

Once good times long gone.

The current Manfred Mann song,
Straight and slim and tall with
Legs that went on and...

Your husband trailing you in tow
My wife leading me down the row

Our slick bodies in passion's tie
We pretend to be...

Dust off your hat, take off your spurs,

A  romp upstairs, ...
