you like the trance with the vox a little chicken pox when toys stay in the box but I don't you like the Band for the Weight distance on a date waking up at 8 but I don't you like a polka dot tie that's heavy on the rye Bender more than Fry but I don't you like the Mondays for the blues breakfast with your booze the Leafs because they lose but I don't you like to drive the middle lane piercings for the pain rainbows for the rain but I don't you like a show about a crime showing up on time mimicking the mimes but I don't you like to count the sporty cars shoot the boring stars hop around the bars but I don't you like to say, 'I told you so' suck back all the blow count the falling snow but I don't you like to travel in the spring wearing diamond rings piss on everything but I don't you like to fake it with a smile skip the second aisle turn up every dial but I don't you like to boss around the crew tell them where to poo make them look at you but I don't you like to pass a lot of gas insist on wearing masks slap a little ass but I don't I know you don't like it like I do (repeat)

it looks like Penny is talking to her neighbour those eyes are darting forth and back but n one comes closer than they really have to cause Penny will treat your time like crack oh, she's gotta have more chorus: more time, she's gotta have more time, we've seen this before and then there's that guy that has a million good ones he sure likes to tell us all of them just don't laugh at one chorus: more time, he's gotta have more time, we've given before bridge: they hope to see us again tomorrow, today, and when they need our time time vampires

Last night never would have happened if the Devil never called us up. Last night never would have happened if the Devil never came on by. Last night never would have happened if the Devil never brought some friends. Last night never would have happened if the Devil didn't try. Don't go messin' with the Devil tonight. (repeat and then scream)

foam will insulate our house now try this bike without a wheel pain will always make you say ow too bad nothing else is real songs are cheaper than they should be rain ain't acid anymore time is something you can show me true, but that's not what it's for it's just a glimmer of scope hanging on a falling rope first place doesn't mean you get gold pockets come with holes in them freezers only keep the meat cold laughing at that joke again I'll take a glimmer of scope hanging on a falling rope home, where only you are welcome gates are taller than a dam say more if you really want some too bad this is who I am it's just a glimmer of scope hanging on a falling rope

about

A juicy splash of fun and cereal. Borrowing from the past to form the present in some cases. In other cases, there's a devil.
