when they ask me what i need i'll say a capo, a lemonade, a dollar fifty
|
a big bathtub, prosthetic feet, diana ross' role in mahogany
|
so i can hang out with billy dee williams, and he can hang out with me
|
pizza, love, and hominy, grits, peach pits, and songs to sing
|
more accountability so i can't get away with being mean
|
shooting stars, dungarees, band aids on both of my knees
|
a big old house high in the trees, a little shack down by the beach
|
a motor home with golden keys, an A+ in geography
|
and lots of time to think, i need more time to think
|
|
when they ask me what i've seen i'll say saturn and soliloquies
|
walden pond, hypocrisy, tetris, and insanity
|
debt and dope and apathy, ode to joy and pool parties
|
smooch and run and ancestry, arthur ashe and manatees
|
sailboats, necessity, lepidopterology
|
the cave of time, dignity, cirque du soleil and lethargy
|
surface area, rosaries, fair is fair and billie jean
|
vonnegut at the university, karmic retribution and bigotry
|
thyroglossal duct cysts, celibacy, love on the rocks, anonymity
|
osgood schlatter in my left knee, sad flute solos and decaf tea
|
silly friends, incontinency, yertle the turtle and hierarchy
|
do it for johnny, pepsilepsy, powder blue ten speeds and puberty
|
sylvia plath, conspiracies, bad medicine, karaoke
|
passing gas, irrelevancy, seize the day and let it be
|
loving dumb skaters who love pcp, dying and dancing on mtv
|
close calls and infinity, little kids who look up to me
|
it's the end of the world as we know it and we didn't start the fire and adam green
|
i need more time to think, don't you think?
|
i need more time to think
|
|
when they ask me what i need i'll say a capo, a lemonade, a dollar fifty
