The Republican Party is hideous
Ignorance. Racist hate.

Lonely as the rain
Once Toledo, Ohio
Never Toledo, Spain

It's true, Highness:  Life is pain.

Thank you, Dr. Frenkel
You were by far the best
Thank you for your caring

I like to visit Europe
Ride the speeding trains
Eat delicious food
Sing Purple Rain

Keep my boys going
Slowly. Day by day.
Thank you, Dr. Frenkel

I'm a troubled soul
No distinguished career
Tired. Exoplanets.
Whisper in your ear

Kinda geeky shy
Ain't her kinda guy
Falling, but I try
To fight back all the fear
