Wish I could apologize and come in from the cold

Not sure I can hang if this is how it’s going to be

The Super 8 keeps flickering with choppy memories

Then sold the whole collection because the rent was due

Vacuumed up all of the fairy dust

Held Savasana on the floor

You clapped your hands and hoped for an encore

There’s tulips in the wheelbarrow, there’s cherries in the tree
            D MajorD    G minorGm    C minorCm   FF
There’s a comet in the sky at least one night a century
D MajorD   G minorGm     A augmentedA        Eb MajorEb        C minorCm
And I will always wait for you if you will wait for me
Bb majorBb   D MajorD    G minorGm     Eb MajorEb         FF
Like a baby or apocalypse that we will never see

Chopped Outro:

We used to have these, like, bands

There were thousands of them

Maybe you're alone, maybe you're not

Doesn't always matter

(Consider the source)

Sorry baby, I was dreaming of you

You were in my dreams

You want me? (I need you)

Yes, I love you

How much you love me, man?

(I do not talk about that

I think I will turn the microphone off)
