The first thing to do is forget everything you've lost Second, zip up your jacket, just to ward off all the frost Best case scenario, you're alone, but sometimes you are not Find anything to make you smile, bring a song, or bring some ***, Sing along with the monotony, to get closer in the cold Third step is to try to remember every part of your soul that you sold Sketch out a poem, lose a friend, give the bitter pill a try, Put the sweet one on a shelf, keep it there until you die The fourth step is to take a crowbar directly to the glass Leave it burning, phase existences, break choruses en masse, Fifth step in the protocol is to never speak its name, Check back on it in forty years to find it still the same Then photograph it, crop it to a flattering degree, Frame it like a work of art but hope they never see And sixth in line, if you are bold, and still have a bone to pick Then -- then you can finally break into the '84 Buick.
