Shiny coat
Glistening in the light
If watching paint dry is wrong
I don't want to be right

If Michael from VSauce was here
He'd ask, "What is wet?"
And I'd say:
Experience it. Place your hand on the wall.
But don't actually
But imagine you did
Imagine your hand on that wall
Returning with a sea of red
Like you're ******* the life force from it
That is what wet is
The ability to **** the life force from something
That would otherwise be dry
Do you understand, Michael?

And as a matter of fact
The painter's name was Michael
And after staring at this wall I realize
That he missed a spot

Looking patiently at the wall
By my side, a tennis ball
Outside it is snowing
But this ball needs throwing
But I need to keep it clean
To keep it green
I cry
Oh, how I cry
When will my nerf darts fly?
When will this paint dry?
