If I had a dollar
for ever time I wanted a dollar
I'd have lots of dollars!

"I, sir, challenge you to a duel!"
(Man shoots himself)

We are our own worst enemy.

I see the universe
          Spread out before me
                          Shaped like stars
                                 Poking holes in the dark
Little lights of eternity
                  Floating in infinity
                          For ever and ever
                                        And ever more.

Sunny days
Lose to rain
Like peeling a Band-Aid
leads to pain
And using bleach
makes a stain
Two sides to everything
Yin and yang

This is a stick-up
Everyone on the ground!
Now!
Put your hands where I can see 'em
Don't try anything!
I'm not ******* around.
No funny business!
You!
Stand up...turn around...slowly.
I said slowly!
I'm not asking twice.
Slowly.
See the bag?
Put my heart in it!
I'm stealing it back!
If you do what I say nobody is gonna get hurt!
This is a stick-up!

Hurt
What a bad word
Worse then ****
Rip my heart out, it bleeds anyway
I'm gonna pack my **** and go
Down the road. To a place where a man can drown his woes.
The fluorescent Bud sign shines brite tonight.
I walk in.
Gimme a shot
And another.
Maybe one more.
I wanna see double and feel nothing
Cause I'm full of hurt
I'm torn apart
and that black hole in my chest is spinning
I'm sllluurriing my words
The ground feels crooked. Its at an angle.
I catch myself from falling
People are staring at me.
Don't look at me like that. Who the **** do you think you are?
You can all go to hell for all I care
Just as long as I got something to sip on
Or some hole to feel warm in
Or some stranger to wake up with.
I don't care.
I am full of hurt
I'm gonna take my **** and go
And on to the next one.

The queen toward above me
In her high and mighty chair
"Off with his head, I want him dead"!
I had but a moment to spare

Charm can save a man in distress
A smile can win a fray
I spoke words so sweet they hurt my teeth
But the queen wasn't listening that day.

And in walked the smiling headsman
He raised his axe so high
He let it drop and I heard a chop
I bid the world goodbye

But something strange did happen then
As my head rolled on the the floor
It did not stop, I kid you not!
It rolled right out the door
