Did you ever hear about ******* Lil? She lived in ******* town on ******* hill, She had a ******* dog and a ******* cat, They fought all night with a ******* rat. She had ******* hair on her ******* head. She had a ******* dress that was poppy red: She wore a snowbird hat and sleigh-riding clothes, On her coat she wore a crimson, ******* rose. Big gold chariots on the Milky Way, Snakes and elephants silver and gray. Oh the ******* blues they make me sad, Oh the ******* blues make me feel bad. Lil went to a snow party one cold night, And the way she sniffed was sure a fright. There was Hophead Mag with ***** Slim, Kankakee Liz and Yen Shee Jim. There was Morphine Sue and the Poppy Face Kid, Climbed up snow ladders and down they skid; There was the Stepladder Kit, a good six feet, And the Sleigh-riding Sister who were hard to beat. Along in the morning about half past three They were all lit up like a Christmas tree; Lil got home and started for bed, Took another sniff and it knocked her dead. They laid her out in her ******* clothes: She wore a snowbird hat with a crimson rose; On her headstone you’ll find this refrain: She died as she lived, sniffing *******

******* Lil and Morphine Sue
I heard the world's loudest **** today It echoed round the town enough to say *"I am a **** of great renown and fame, I am a **** who's worthy of the name Of*  KING of FARTS!"  Unthinkingly I sniffed And, let me tell you, I have never whiffed Aught so potent, dank and dread and foul Blasted out from heaving human bowel As that king of farts I smelled today And which took my ******* breath away. Who was the pumper of that putrid beauty? How many curries in the line of duty Had he consumed?  It must have been a man - No pong so strong ere blew from female can. Can no one answer yet my urgent question: And say who suffereth such dire indigestion? O heavens! his torment must be something chronic. Can no one subsidise a high colonic Irrigation to prevent another Noisier and more noisome than its younger brother?

A **** For All Mankind
Once I undertook a journey, upon the very face of our entire world. To view for myself the many pictures, and written descriptions in all the geography books and History Classes, National Geographic magazines and movies seen. A Quest to see with my own eyes what I had only experienced second hand. In my mid twenties, like a dream, one foot in front of the other, I went about exploring. I sniffed and tasted the scents of foreign lands, Incense, Sage and Frankincense, fish curry, fried snake and even monkey brains. Walked in lush Jungle Bush and Desert sands, Along the shores of Islands and the coasts of many lands. Heard the voices of 30 divergent Dialects and cultures, smiling and laughing with the families and children of all of them. Set beside the fires of primitive tribal men, heard their chants to their gods above, the moon, stars and the sun, the ocean, the land. Clapped my hands and moved my feet in their ancient mystic dances. Drank their tea, Kava or whatever they shared grateful for their offered unselfish brotherhood. Stood on the flanks of the tallest Mountains in the world, on my toe tips, to try to see the face of the God of my youthful teachings, disappointed when I did not see him, or Her. Found instead an inner tranquility, imparted to me by Red robbed Monks from within their chants of Peace and wise earthly enlightenments. Strolled the cobbled streets of two thousand year old Cities. Walked among the ruined remnants of nearly forgotten once great Civilizations. Explored Modern European Citadels' of wealth and learning. Over time rode on planes, ships, buses, backs of open trucks, Horse pulled carts and human drawn rickshaws, taxis, subways, rented motorcycles and cars.  Walked perhaps 1000 miles. In all a journey of the mind and heart lasting three years. And why you might ask, "What qualifies you as a pilgrim of any kind, to travel so far, and wide?" "What was I looking for, what did I hope to find?"   All indeed, fare questions. When a boy, I read a simple five word line, “Seek and thee shall find". Curiosity and Horizon Lust compelled me.   The next obvious question you might ask is, after all that; “What did you find?” That answer is very simple, I found myself.

I sniffed a smell of your rose. Oh, you know what? It’s enough to thrill the bone. Just leave a scent in the air and pop in, take your turn into a new buzzing world!

A Smell of Rose
There once was a girl called Goldilocks Who lived in a forest filled with phlox She did not to have a soul to play with And in the forest she would often drift She once became lost, the lonely, little girl The one with the head full of golden curls Panicked and scared, she came upon a house But it appeared that everyone there was out She helped herself to the food, cold and hot She tried the chairs until one hit the spot Too tired to try to make her way back She hit the sheets to take a nap Very picky was this lost, lonely tot Some porridge was too cold, some too hot Beds too soft or too hard to sleep tight Only one she found that felt just right Mama, Papa, and Baby Bear were soon back on arrival After a long day of fishing for their survival What? Who had their nose in each of their bowls? Gone was one porridge that to the brim was full And who had sat in and broke one of the chairs? It looked like a human by some strands of golden hair! Hunters? Oh, no! Could they be on the prowl? The bears sniffed around and started to growl Baby Bear was the first to see The little girl catching some Z's "Oh, cool!" exclaimed little Baby Bear "Can we keep her? Can she stay here?" They all came upon Goldilocks all snug in bed Papa Bear was now furious and began to see red "And you call us animals!" he yelled loudly at her "Who gives you the right?! Where are your manners?!" Goldilocks woke up with an ear piercing shriek Facing three hairy bears, she could not speak Out the house she ran, far enough to see her home near And that was the last that Goldilocks saw of those bears! "She was just a scared, little girl", Mama Bear said to her spouse "We could have stopped her and let her stay in our house!" Papa Bear, disagreeing with her foolish trust,  swore **** it! I told you the last one out locks the door!!!" "You begin feeding them...they are so clever You'll never get rid of them. They stick around forever!" Mama Bear refused to fight, for Papa Bear refused to bend And that is all there is to the story. THE END!

The smell of your sweater makes me think about the times we had together. About the first time, I smelled your scent and thought to myself: ‘This is the smell of the person I am falling for.’ I saved your smell in my memories, so I would not forget. The smell of your sweater makes me think about the first time I woke up next to you and crawled my body against yours. The way you sniffed my hair and told me I smelled nice. The way I kissed your chest and held on tight. The smell of your sweater makes me think about how you looked at me. Like I was the most precious thing in the world and the way that look made me feel so beautiful. The smell of your sweater makes me want to look at you like I used to look at you. The smell of your sweater gives me butterflies imagining your arms around me, your kisses on my cheeks, my lips, my neck, my breast. The smell of your sweater makes me cry because all those things are out of reach for me now. The smell makes me want to scream because I don’t know how to fix this and make it better. It makes me want to punch the walls until my knuckles bleed, but I won’t feel it compared to the way I feel about losing you. The smell reminds me of the way you loved me and how I don't want you to stop loving me just because you can’t reach me and I can’t reach you... It makes me think of the thousands of miles between us. The smell of your sweater makes me think of love and the heartbreak that comes with it.

The sweater you lent me
It was, as the New York Times all but sniffed (Even then, a haughty mix of bluenose and black ink) Further proof the poor, misguided Upstate rubes Were no more than ample fodder For any tinhorn, two-bit confidence man to take for a ride. Fair enough—it was, to the careful eye and unheated psyche Clear as the azure blue sky that, Despite the best efforts of acid wash and a year underground, So obviously a statue as to be absolutely laughable, And yet the vox populi came in waves, Not only one-gallus farmers from the fields nearby, But from the great cities near and far (Chicago, Philadelphia, and, yes, even New York itself To throw Hannum a quarter to view his gargantuan grotesquery Just as described in Genesis itself, he noted solemnly So many, indeed, that Barnum himself was divinely inspired Not only to purloin the giant, but its prior owner’s epigram As to the frequency of the manufacture Of his too-credible customer base. While there was (briefly, at least) some mystery surrounding The origins of the brobdingnagian mass of stone, It remained (to some, anyway) equally unfathomable Why scores of folks would careen in unsteady coaches The full length of the Catskill Turnpike, With its questionable lodging and uneven roadworthiness, Or patiently suffer the mosquito-laden flatboats of Clinton’s Ditch All to spend the cash equivalent of two trips to the county fair To see a perfectly good hootchie-kootchie show Simply to gawk at an unevenly carved rock of questionable authenticity, But that explained quite simply, As the public always gets what the public wants.

In Which We Wonder Upon The Spectacle Of The Cardiff Giant

Fair enough—it was, to the careful eye and unheated psyche Clear as the azure blue sky that, Despite the best efforts of acid wash and a year underground, So obviously a statue as to be absolutely laughable, And yet the vox populi came in waves, Not only one-gallus farmers from the fields nearby, But from the great cities near and far (Chicago, Philadelphia, and, yes, even New York itself To throw Hannum a quarter to view his gargantuan grotesquery Just as described in Genesis itself, he noted solemnly So many, indeed, that Barnum himself was divinely inspired Not only to purloin the giant, but its prior owner’s epigram As to the frequency of the manufacture Of his too-credible customer base.

I know why Vincent Van Gogh Cut off his own ear We are a mad bunch, you see Poets and painters and playwrights On the prowl for something to jump start our perpetual yearnings, our keen senses and cravings, on the quest for so much more than the status quo, of merely checking off just another day from our calendars We are those kinds of people Who wish to reinvent the world Often cursing at our failings and insecurites While obsessively working to shape and sculpt our view of this planet To fit our own brand of imagination To satisfy our starving hopes and desperate dreams To foster vivid visions from the views that are vague   And to wipe away The nightmares of old that cry out in us We believe in make-believe We who are misfits to "normalcy" We rarely seem to fit into The "real world" Yet we know that this world is Pure insanity Stark madness Sheer perplexion Yet we are the ones suffering for the sake of our art Often misunderstood Many times branded as "weirdos" I can understand the pain Of not getting my art right Of not seeing its worth Because someone sniffed at it Or scoffed at it Or blindly passed it by Many times, we want to break through And join the world of our works of art But we can't We're stuck in the middle of its beauty And nothingness Yes I know why Vincent Van Gogh cut off his own ear

I Know Why Vincent Van Gogh Cut Off His Own Ear
During the night, a dreadful night, a mole dug deep deep and around my garden that I love This cheeky mole then had the nerve to stop burrowing and then surface to check the damage from above. Up came his velvety head and sniffed the fresh air parting my newly laid lawn like a digger. Now he appears to be smiling the cheeky scoundrel He is making the problem a whole lot bigger. "Look what yo have done" I shouted "made a right mess The piles of earth are everywhere with your coming and froing" "With all due respect madam" sniffed the mole "what do you expect when I cannot exactly see where I am going!" "I have no map, no satellite navigation device, just my claws I am just a mole and all that I can do is dig, I've no appliance No shiny ***** no mechanical device, what do you expect Honestly madam it is not exactly rocket science. He tutted and rushed back down the hole leaving me speechless and trying my best not to cry. The mole had made his way underground by now next door but my hard work was down the drain - I wonder why!

A Cheeky Mole
The Bunny stares with round black eyes. The girl felt that this bunny was important to her. After all it was given to her when she was 6. Her daddy bought it for her and gave it to her. This bunny has gotten her through nightmares. The bunny was there when her dog Amber passed away. The girl snuggled up to the bunny and sniffed the stuffed bunnies fur. It smelled like her mom’s cookies she use to make, it smelled like her old shampoo she use to use. The girl cried when her heart got broken, the bunny was right there to comfort her. When the girl’s mom said she hated her, the bunny was there to snuggle with until she fell asleep. The bunny reminded her of good times, when her mom loved her. It was soft and a beautiful pink color. The bunny was her best-friend.

At his little hippie college he shows me a *** that looks like a wall in a Rwandan museum, all skulls, he learned clay in the Rift Valley boarding school, on a kick wheel, still his favorite My brother is a potter multicolor plaid shorts little goatee Banjo Japan dreams girl from Mozambique. When we were little in Loiyangalani we made tiny huts out of obsidian while our Rhodesian Ridgebacks sniffed the ground for cobras sand vipers scorpions while twenty camels walked by in a row followed by tiny replicas My brother is a potter, says to me 'When I am doing this I am doing what I was created to do' He makes a green and blue candleholder for me which he calls 'The Islands,' light escapes through many holes which look like sea turtles pockets of air and an atomic bomb just gone off we turn off the lights in my room in the hood, snorkel in candlelight My brother gives me Rumi, incense, peace flags We walk the silent night smoke a clove look at stars like we used to do in the African riverbeds

My Brother Is A Potter
i want you to remind me how the moon and the stars above glance and hides how shy they were whenever your voice soothes the trees and living creatures, reverberating the paradox of joy and sadness in your giggle i want you to remind me how the ends will never be the means of loving and that saturating my soul with your presence is more than i could ever receive, a reality unmet with circumstances of chains upon ourselves i want you to remind me how long it would take to consume the universe on your palm or the life in one single breath, or the night with a hymn that lights up my way home i want you to remind me of remembering goodbyes and hellos the mellow sound of now and the agonizing tomorrow swifting its way to uncanny sound of laughter and sniffed tears i want you to remind me that there are more to life than we ever thought of: death, absence, nothingness i want you to remind me that i could always see the mirror of myself in your brushed short hair, chapped lips and past you never left behind, just the like the songs i've made to remind how unusual semblance of people unites hearts and eventually tear them apart i want you to remind me of the days where i loved deeply and without hesitation or fear of falling behind or the anxiety of losing what i never had in the first place i want you to remind me of the days like this where the smile in my face meant the world, home, and happiness from your single hello or the way you tilt your head and stare and smile and laugh or when your cheeks blush and swims together with the universe in your eyes and the waters deeply engraved in your fingers how the waves strum the music in your spirit and soul how i want you to remember, the way i will remind you: i will remind you of how i love seeing you mess around and make everyone happy, your vain and cuddly smile behind the tint of the sun, along the banquets of academics and artists i will remind you of how assured i was that you were whom i prayed for to a nonexistent deity of the wind and beauty; how i wished to feel its rush as i roam around, and steep-down the wheels, continuously weighing down unafraid of a valley of morality and questions i will remind you of the philosophy of the meaninglessness of existence and how life was never the meaning but pain of waiting for death; you made it bearable and the ample grace of your heart is what i'll keep to my future journeys of seeking what i would trade for life itself enduring the morning commutes and cruelty of mischievous eyes i will remind you of the day i saw you, and how tall you stand as me or how shy i was whenever i was in front of the crowd, but most of the time you give me the strenght to brush off what everyone would say i will remind you of the day, and the days to come i will not ask for more or less, it will be enough, and i hope with that, i will be enough, and i, hope you would always remind me #

Nothing...had enchanted me more, than that big yellow rose... bright, stunning at the tip of its tall stem, soft petals.....yet to fully unfurl, its inner part...a soothing light shaded swirl... i sniffed a bit of its fragrance, and felt its softness...but, i got pricked by a hidden thorn, --- just a tiny puncture...yet, my finger bled so much... --- i walked on through the garden, ...with my pricked finger inside my mouth, i was amazed by other flowers, more colorful ones, but, the yellow, pink, red roses outshone them all... with care this time, i touched a big pink, slowly.........and, again, i didn't see, another thorn was in the way --- it was more painful it bled even more... --- i stood thinking, while bleeding... its beauty, its silky feel...its fragrance that lingers in the mind would all be difficult to resist, the pain from the thorns...harder to forget, but, i'd still want to walk through this vast garden....live this life...and seek those roses feel them...be inspired...over and over --- never mind the spikes! never mind the pain! --- love is beautiful like a rose a rose is beautiful like genuine love, there are thorns...hindrances and hurdles, that come with its beauty....yet, that wonderful feeling of loving, and being loved, in return, the wanting, the longing for it, never dies...the fear of bleeding, is ignored, --- for, what is life without love? and what is love without pain? --- isn't love lovelier...more hopeful the next time around? --- a rose could never be a rose without its many thorns... --- Sally ©Rosalia Rosario A.

She laughed when I first told her Only nine years old, my little sister "Sometimes I feel more like men" "Well, that makes me a frog, then!" "But really, I'm not only a girl" That's when she almost began to hurl Her face scrunched up, she was crying No longer thinking I was lying "Don't worry, it sometimes lasts only a day" She sniffed, "Will this go away?" "It's always been here, nothing new" "Tell mommy and daddy, they can help you" I tried to explain how I felt Took her face in my hands and knelt "Sweetie, remember our secret game? It's still me, I'll always be the same" She nodded, finally eased I told her my pronouns and was quite pleased When daddy asked "What's my big girl up to" She replied "He's really busy, lots to do"

I'll fly out from this rollercoaster Filled with disgust, with dizziness The operator stands aghast Amidst the turning machine Above his heels, Within his well-fed hands It spins and turns Like Big Brother's voice On a broken loop Creaking engine recalls A sordid, mechanical taste In the mouths of the trapped They think it's so wondrous To be on top of a flightless Soar to the heavens To see those ant-like buildings Like a grain of dust in their hands But they have paid the price The people of the carnival only feeds them dreams While they snicker inside the tents Fairy godmothers on their breaks Clouds darken beneath us Rumbling, rumbling, roar the Blue-violet crack in the sky goes As we rode along to the earth's tremble The view matches not what they promised But everyone must go on till the ride stops I sniffed the steps of rain in a small stairway to my senses I knew right then that ride wasn't what we all thought

"PuppyCat" By Arcassin Burnham Magic letters, To the soul, Once it sparkles, Then behold, I need noones everlasting help, But yours, Are you a cat?, Maybe a dog?, Letting all your memories become victims, Of smog, Then turn into a blank Requiem, It goes to show I'm so appalled, I guess you'd never thought I'd with chocolate covered strawberry blogs, Can't look for proper income, Than you better get a job, Can't ever get one, So you worship bones and skulls, May I say more about you overreact, Better keep the faith and love in puppycat. "Chandelier" By Arcassin Burnham We won't be the only two hanging here, Blinded by the light, We should make it last while we still have our dignity, I hope you're not too into me, Cause in a distant memory, I see clarity, Couple drinks in my system, And the remedies, I just hope you're not too into me, Another line sniffed, So we're in another place, Let this not be a penalty, I hope you're not into me, Still hangin.

depression is not crippling sadness as most think it is. well, sometimes. it is apathy most of the time who cares? no point. everything ***** I lost my job today cried, a little but I cry about everything. mainly apathetic now I truly have no reason to ever get out of bed sure, I'll look for another way to live but this ***** leaves me with no motivation no motivation to apply to colleges, even though I have a 3.9 GPA no motivation to hang out with friends even though I am lonelier than ever no motivation to eat food even though I am starving after I left my now "old work" I had the impulsive decision to rescue a dog. maybe if I have another creature to look after love feed I will start to care for myself, too. the shelter made my heart hurt the kittens weren't crying just sleeping in their jail cells uninterested in life or their possible new friend looking at their possible rescuer with disinterest looking through their cage like me. finnegan was a terrier mix a stray he was whining licked my hand when I reached to him eight years old missing his right eye life has trampled him yet he is not hardened I cried with him as I walked him around the play area he sniffed everything he could. curious investigating not crying anymore just happy to be free from the hell in his cage he treated the workers with affection like he treated me with affection it took awhile until he came close and cried while I pat him climbed in my lap and cried I know buddy walked him inside. the woman, at the counter looked at me eagerly, "so?!" I looked away. can't do it not today I'm sorry him and I are both looking for affection love a way out of this mess. but I can't help him. no job, no sure way I can buy him food buy me food. I can't buy a living creature out of impulse. he needed security I cannot provide that only warmth. I need to be happy he cannot provide that only warmth. goodbye, cutie puller of heartstrings I promise someone better than me will take you away. not today lost myself lost my passion lost my lust lost my job lost my soul.

A NOW UNEMPLOYED HOPELESS MESS IN THEIR EARLY TWENTIES
depression is not crippling sadness as most think it is. well, sometimes. it is apathy most of the time who cares? no point. everything ***** I lost my job today cried, a little but I cry about everything. mainly apathetic now I truly have no reason to ever get out of bed sure, I'll look for another way to live but this ***** leaves me with no motivation no motivation to apply to colleges, even though I have a 3.9 GPA no motivation to hang out with friends even though I am lonelier than ever no motivation to eat food even though I am starving after I left my now "old work" I had the impulsive decision to rescue a dog. maybe if I have another creature to look after love feed I will start to care for myself, too. the shelter made my heart hurt the kittens weren't crying just sleeping in their jail cells uninterested in life or their possible new friend looking at their possible rescuer with disinterest looking through their cage like me. finnegan was a terrier mix a stray he was whining licked my hand when I reached to him eight years old missing his right eye life has trampled him yet he is not hardened I cried with him as I walked him around the play area he sniffed everything he could. curious investigating not crying anymore just happy to be free from the hell in his cage he treated the workers with affection like he treated me with affection it took awhile until he came close and cried while I pat him climbed in my lap and cried I know buddy walked him inside. the woman, at the counter looked at me eagerly, "so?!"

Have you ever stumbled upon a flower,        next to her, you were seated;        a gaze you never gave,        and time passed by just like that. She didn't bloom as you expected her to be,        shining under the sun's rays,        a bud that didn't open -- yet        existing yet not appealing -- she was just about to bloom. Have you ever stumbled upon a flower,        as the sun was setting, you stood up;        "please wait," she was begging        yet you never loved her so you left. The shy flower, yes it's tiny        no one would pick her, no one was there;        twenty feet, her perfume travelled;        it was her time to flourish at night. You never loved that flower,        neither picked her petals nor sniffed its scent;        she ended up saying "I love you,"        with lost worth, is she the unlucky one? She was a tender perennial, you unlucky one.

Cestrum nocturnum
Along the lane towards Diddling you stopped and looked at the church on the horizon between the hedgerows beneath the blue and white clouded sky Jane stood next to you her hand holding yours the softness of her skin against yours her dark hair tied by a green ribbon one of my favourite sights she said the church becoming more visible the closer you get her voice disturbed birdsong from the hedgerows a blue *** took flight the flutter of small wings we never had hedgerows in London you said no blue *** birds no wide fields or Downs just streets and houses and pavement and grass around our flats where pigeons or sparrows settled for thrown out bread from windows above Jane gazed at you her dark eyes focusing I’d hate that she said I love my countryside and fields and birds and open sky she sniffed the air and you walked on along the lane she pointed out wildflowers and hedgerow plants and talked of the farmhand who died when his tractor turned over in a field and the first time she remembered visiting the small church and her father holding her high above his head so she could see the expanse of the Downs and you listened to her words the language holding you and drawing you in her lips opening and closing her summer dress moving as she walked her sandaled feet treading the lane you wanted to captured it all to recall it years later all over again.

TOWARDS THE CHURCH.
My Mars bar- launched out of its wrapper like a Patriot missile, melted onto the hot pavement looking like a fresh doggy **** and nothing like-- “A little bit of Mars” A poodle ***** on a lead, sniffed then licked it clean away- as if it had never been.

your own self discovery
So I was walking down the street the other day, smoking my cigarette, and enjoying it, and singing fake songs to myself, and I walk past a small car, and it made me stop, because its strange to see a small car on my street. Especially a small car painted in bright clown colors, and especially a small clown colored car filled with smoke, and especially a small clown colored car filled with smoke and what looks to be clowns. So I decided to investigate, and I walked up, and I tapped on the window, and as soon as I did all I could hear was screaming and kicking. I took a step back because I mean **** what if it exploded? And as the small colorful clown car door opened, smoke poured out, billowing and puffing, very strange smelling smoke of all different colors, and i began to wonder if it wasn't me who was tripping ball's, as 1.. no 2.. no 12 huge bug eyed clowns crawled out. Gawking and hissing and juggling crack pipes. The first one asked my name. I lied of course. You never trust a cracked out clown, not even with your name. The second one asked me my age. I lied of course, because it's a well known fact crack clowns are pedophiles and he might have tried to have his way with me if I told him the truth about my tender young age. The third asked me for a cigarette. I gave it to him of course, out of sheer terror that if I didn't he might use his circus tricks to pull a colorful rag out of his *** and choke me to death with it and I didn't want that. The rest of them just kind of stared at me or screamed or sniffed my clothing and inspected me. After a few minutes of all of this I decided I'd had enough. Talking with clowns is bad karma anyways, and I started to walk away waving politely but no they weren't done with me yet. They hog tide me and covered me in clown make up and adopted me as there new pet monkey /clown driver /lion tamer. But of course, when the police found me naked in a trash can at three in the morning a few hours later still unable to complete whole sentences they wouldn't believe ( or couldn't understand) a word of it but I'll tell you, if you ever see a smoke filled colorful clown car just walk away. We know the truth its ugly, and juggles crack pipes.

I was a rose Turned black with decay Until my petals fell to the dirt And I stood naked In front of your audience I was a rose Watered with vinegar Fed with cyanide Loved by your ego And broken by your hands I was a rose Torn from the roots Cut off at the stem Dead before I was alive And rotten before I was ripe I was a rose Stabbed by my own thorns Bleeding from the inside Draining my crimson color Into your palms I was your rose Painted black by your lips Brushed to dark perfection My expiration date long passed As you sniffed my last breath away. I was your rose.

Black Rose
I can't say just how long it's been Since I pinched down one nostril and sniffed that stuff in Gave myself over to the sugar of sin Then repeated the other side so my head would spin Maybe it's been a year and a half But I'm starting to shake with the force of my laugh And I can't control the twitching of my calf It's like the boss on my neck is missing staff The lights are much brighter and the sounds smell great It was like this the first time in 2008 Someone'll bring ***** but I just can't wait Now I'm off to find coke, tonight, my only date
