going out is new
i told you
all there is to do
i told you
haphazardous glue
i told you
rather use shampoo
i told you
i told you the world would leave you alone
and the next day it did
but i misspelled the recipe
someone stole all my shoes
i told you
you should master kung-fu
i told you
it is not time to
i told you
where the hell is my stew?
i ask you
i told you the world would leave you alone
and the next day it did
but i misspelled the recipe
none of this can be true
i told you
stick me away in a zoo
i told you
once upon a time in the little boy's basement
there was a flower
and upon the petals of this flower was written
the bible
but no one was small enough to read it
the end.
