Love behind a lamp

He went to the store

And he bought me

a dinosaur lamp

 

He gave it to me

and he said

"it made me think of you" 

 

I have a dinosaur 

a dinosaur lamp

He knows i love them

 

Honestly..

that's love to me

that's all i need.

High Performance

Spun -
A burnout —
driven to madness
and
crashing,
in a
drug fueled accident

What a catastrophe!

Young And Ready

She sees the world as an ocean 

And she wanna dip her toe in it 

I told her if you go to far 

You gon need a boat witcha 

She grabbed a boat 

She's ready to go 

I told her make sure there’s a 

Life ring and a lifeboat 

Just in case cause you might need those 

She responded “that’s fine” 

Bags packed

Excited to go on this ride 

I untied the rope from the pillar 

...

Hooked

Your love isn't something I would willingly give away 

I wouldn't dare make a mistake, so that your love would decay

They say I'm on a leash but I wouldn't care anyway 

Your love is for me like a flower on a rainy day

Chicken Every Meal

I get a little tired of it - folks who seem to think

they must be happy all the time or else they’re on the brink

of some traumatic end, oh yes, like everything is bad

if once in a blue moon they have to deal with being sad.

 

It makes no sense to me at all. Just what do they expect?

They should be happy day and night and never get set back.

Well, I can’t grasp it, not at all....
