I am the turkey You found with the palm of your hand I am the pigeon That fooled you for a dove Alakazam I am a weasel I told you before- My lungs are broken Like his discarded wishbone I am that word on the tip of your tongue I missed my cue When this cape got stuck to the dangly bit It was shining And smelled like "good morning" I am abandoning my skeleton I don't like the skin That it put on today I took a second helping of determination Wake me in an hour- I'll be resting From digesting Hold the phone- Regret made my stomach eat itself to death Don't Dilly Dally, Dear I'm the rolling pen That now lives In your underwear drawer I guess you'll never see me again I'm retracting that statement Like her claws from my Quacker Factory sweater Sometimes we all need A little extra support Dearest Bones, Without you I'm a jellyfish I painted my face this morning And now it's swimming inside my black tears The proof is on the front of his shirt I am your pillow that thinks it's a shrink I told your hair It needs to find a new direction in life Don't believe me? I'll lie back down But give me a second- I'm in the gutter right now And need to clean myself off Don't worry, Goose Darling- A little Vitamin E oil Will restore your immaturity From the **** joke That's giving you crows feet Oh how I wish My fossil was void of down feathers But I frequently find That I'm tickled inside And how else would I fly in my dreams

That Bird Built Her Nest In My Brain.
I am the turkey You found with the palm of your hand I am the pigeon That fooled you for a dove Alakazam I am a weasel I told you before- My lungs are broken Like his discarded wishbone I am that word on the tip of your tongue I missed my cue When this cape got stuck to the dangly bit It was shining And smelled like "good morning" I am abandoning my skeleton I don't like the skin That it put on today I took a second helping of determination Wake me in an hour- I'll be resting From digesting Hold the phone- Regret made my stomach eat itself to death Don't Dilly Dally, Dear I'm the rolling pen That now lives In your underwear drawer I guess you'll never see me again I'm retracting that statement Like her claws from my Quacker Factory sweater Sometimes we all need A little extra support Dearest Bones, Without you I'm a jellyfish I painted my face this morning And now it's swimming inside my black tears The proof is on the front of his shirt I am your pillow that thinks it's a shrink I told your hair It needs to find a new direction in life Don't believe me? I'll lie back down But give me a second- I'm in the gutter right now And need to clean myself off Don't worry, Goose Darling- A little Vitamin E oil Will restore your immaturity From the **** joke That's giving you crows feet Oh how I wish My fossil was void of down feathers But I frequently find That I'm tickled inside And how else would I fly in my dreams
