Oh Calm Down! As if you're the only one to ever lay awake, or feel anxiety? Or to check every nook and cranny of your house and of your mind? No one forced me to live my life in fear, But when it came that day I wasn't prepared. They put their head through the sunroof... rolled down the window... I can't believe what I saw!

We will find you walking down the street. When it comes to masculinity, we have no sympathy. And, if you have a bare face then you'll see a bare fanny. Because we love beards.

I often dream of a vast ocean of orange juice But my dreams are my only source Of interaction with those succulent navels Because of apples I often fantasize of peeling their skin off And grinding their flesh to a mealy pulp I'll pour the remnants into the toilet That's where they belong We will march to their factories And burn them to a crispy, golden, flaky crust They will feel our wrath for the injustice they cultivate

Oh, you You’ve got the skeleton And gal, I’ve got the heart I saw you dreamin’ through The distant mirage of my love And yet I feel just like a loathsome creep Oh me, I don’t know you Except in my romance I enjoy misogyny As much as the next guy But please don’t ever run away, hey! Oh, woe woe I saw a mockingbird just the other day That reminded me of you and now I’m blue Yes, I understand I’m a little chauvinistic That’s an exquisite bit of info, won’t you say? I’ll kiss your feet as your kicking in my face How about that? Ain’t it love? It’s so grand! But sometimes I get this feeling that something Just doesn’t work Maybe I’m better off living this curse? Without you life is one big hurt But maybe that’s how things really are? Honestly I’m being such a fool You really love me Oh you’ve got the skeleton And gal I’ve got the heart (Please believe me when I tell you!) Gal, I’ve got the heart

Darling where did I go wrong? I’m sorry if I was a prick Yes, I know there’s no excuse If you want me to leave then I’ll go If wishes were fishes Then I’d be with you I gouged out your heart And trampled it and burned it alive I can’t begin to say How much I’m sorry Darling, how did it come to this? Drinking myself to an early grave Where’s the bright young man that stood At the altar next to you? I slept with other women like a plague (It was bubonic) But what I thought I wanted was a mistake (Did somebody say, ‘steak?’) I got a lot of tail (hippity hoppity) And I drank a lot of gin (A whole river full of gin) But darling what I really want now is you! Why, why, why, why, why (let me back)

Since day one I've been a squeamish dreg, But how was I supposed to feel when they talked about eggs? Three years later there were three different kinds of sex, But this one turned white as a ghost. Now all I want our Beethoven fun facts, Abstract discussions of suspensions and such. But they keep me on this pedestal, I thought I paid for Music History! RISK, CASTRATION FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT VICE, SACRIFICE FOR YOUR ART
12.
Your plump juicy brain is a glorious golden angel Rising above the metropolis Your new home, your playground of dreams Your tentacles explore every avenue I am so proud of you, even though you've flown away So very far from the school where we used to play Nowadays a cesspool haze My house and mind are in decay The magic you do never ever ceases to amaze me You're building a future into paradise Such a world would be so nice So why must it fill me with envy Where did my fire go, all my dreams that no one knows I'm watching the sun rise just to set again I don't believe life is a race, but I wanna see you in outerspace

Some folks like thick sunscreen On pretty boys in lifeguard chairs. But I need a warm sweater It will keep me from drowning here. Others prefer clear tan lines On pretty girls in the beach sand. But I avoid such crude nudity, In my marshmallow land. Where I will bundle up, in my basement I will hide From hot angst in the summertime. People tell me that I've lost touch, but my secrets they don't know: You come to me daily in my snow globe.
