Mares eat oats and does eat oats and li'l lambs eat ivy
Sounds like the political scene today, makes us feel grimey
I'm seeing an end
Hope I'm right, it depends
On coming to our senses and saying “Adieu, Mr. Slimy!”
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and li'l lambs eat ivy
Sounds like the political scene today, makes us feel grimy
I'm seeing an end
Hope I'm right, it depends
On coming to our senses and saying “Adieu, Mr. Slimy!”
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and li'l lambs eat ivy
Sounds like the political scene today, makes us feel grimy
I'm seeing an end
Hope I'm right, it depends
On coming to our senses and saying “Adieu, Mr. Slimy!”
CHILDREN’S TOYS
do dolls have a soul?
glassy-eyed she stares at me
~ hauntingly gothic ~
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
shall i play the tape?
played backwards the devil speaks
~ douse with holy oil ~
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
vinyl spins around
“mares eat oats and does eat oats”
~ sounds nonsensical ~
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
speaking to the dead?
fingers slide from a to z
~ don’t play with matches ~
