Some tough young punk with dreadlocks

She bought herself her own apartment
That was when she told me
I have a hard time getting out
Unless it’s really important like work
I told myself wake up early
Get some coffee, but I oversleep
I had a massage therapist come to my house

We all have our place
But it’s always there, isn’t it
Streaming throughout our lives
The light of the face
Where most of the soul comes to rest
We see it best when the hard wind blows
Cause in the course of events
The wind will know our

And there was Kathi R in the summer of 1969. She was from Wheaton. We had tons of unprotected sex that summer. She was short, almost no breasts, but man, she could reach down behind me somehow and grab my balls at precisely the right moment, and bam, ba

The bum had abandoned
More than half of his rich
Chocolate cake
In the bottom of the shopping cart
The wording on the top of the cake read
"Happy Birthday Doug"

He drowns his books, I'm drowning in mine.
He exercises his power–I'm powerless to exercise.

For the kid in me who fell
head over heels
all the way down
the stars,
I wonder where you are
now.
Slack is harder to

I have learned.
And assigning the middle finger its true purpose
keeps me pretty bus
