hey, we all have our hard
luck thrillers but you listen here we've
paid for our costumes and we've practiced
this one for a lifetime & we told everyone
we were going to be there and... you're
not backing out on me this time
so don't even think about
it you hear me
listen

I

don't have
the time or energy for you or
any of this and I could care less if you
melt into a puddle of slime in the middle of
the floor you better just pick up your tears
and break into a somebody's singing in
the rain to long song or your
gonna be dirt you
hear

would

you stop that incessant taping
it's driving me up the wall sorry It's
just that I've always had this dream
of being a drummer and I guess
I get a little carried away
with things you
'member

w
h
e
n

I was a 'lil kid and
I used to get all excited and
could one of you puff my pillow I
ain't doin' that it's your turn what
do I look like your... thank
you... nurse

it
seems
like just a few
weeks ago that I last had
surgery and look at me here I am
for another go 'round are you scared
of course not I'm in shock nobody's
that brave 'cept John Wayne

and the last I
heard
he
wasn't
lookin' so well
and I remember crying

when they first told me and you
know I honestly don't think I ever
stopped 'til they shoveled a
hand full..... of pills
right down
my

t
h
r
o
a
t

and
whee..... led
me off to surgery I think

a
television aired a
soft forgotten faery tale some
thing 'bout a never ever land...... it must
have tucked itself right into my
dream 'cause I can't
remember
a

t
h
i
n
g

'bout
where it was but
you know faery's are like that

but

afterwards I cried because I
thought the pain would never go
away but it did and it will again
you get through it you
move on

it could have been a
lot worse you know I could
have missed the past few
years... hey are you
all right hey

t
h

how
do you
feel

like a
fool like a damn
fool
