I found out she's an angel
I don't think she knows I know
I'm worried that something might happen to me

When I was young, I met a man a long, long way from home

Truth-drug lies, won't set me free
December 16, 2025 at 12:00 PM
Here I stand outside the window
Longing to be asked inside
Until someone sees
Being polite
Though scared to death

I was wearing a Yoda mask
You were talking like Lou Ferrigno
A hat made of paper. A vest made of ugly
An intercom with just one button
“This bag is almost empty”
That was your sole communication

At ten o'clock tomorrow
Playing for a crowd of six
Free beer and eight dollars
That's money for new sticks

Without a written guarantee of perfect sailing
Can you crawl from under the porch without a helmet?

And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me

You'll need a test

When will you recognize that I am the answer to all your prayers?
December 15, 2025 at 11:16 PM
To a crystalline castle that is six dimensions high
And we'll share your faults and foibles with a more enlightened kind
December 15, 2025 at 8:28 PM
But it's all been a little like a trial for you and a bunch more talking won't make him true
December 15, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Pony, Twist, Monkey, and Frug
These are the things that I taught to you
Hitchhike, Boogie, Hypocrite Bop

Fake-Believe, Fake-Believe, Fake-Believe
Fake-Believe, Fake-Believe, Fake-Believe

Oh, I'm taking names
But I'm not doing much
With the names that I'm taking
G-O-A-T

Give me an R!
Give me another R!
Give me another R!
What does that spell?
December 15, 2025 at 11:33 AM
And not be stigmatized
By the rest of the world?
Tell me, how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified
December 15, 2025 at 9:39 AM
Let's drink, drink, this town is so great
Drink, drink, 'cause it's never too late
December 15, 2025 at 6:56 AM
Let’s all just take a deep breath
And slowly lower our weapons to the floor
December 15, 2025 at 3:29 AM
Algeria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Dominica, Egypt, France, the Gambia
Hungary, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Libya, and Mongolia
Norway, Oman, Pakistan
Qatar, Russia, Suriname
Turkey, Uruguay, Vietnam

Knocking me down onto the platinum ground
Woke up in a beautiful dream
December 15, 2025 at 12:01 AM
Hey!
Hats off to the things you don't say
Why?
So what's up with the side-eye?
December 14, 2025 at 10:29 PM
What're we gonna do with these bones?
What're we gonna do with these bones?
