SCRATCH

I nailed myself to a tree
because I am environmentally friendly
yes, I am so friendly
I am user friendly
so use me
No,
I am not friendly
that was not it
homely
that is the word
I am homely
he said, "Yo, wazzup, homely?"
I said, "I am going home to sedate myself."
I drink too much
I drink too much caffiene
I drink too much
I drink to
I am going to drink too much
because that is the quickest way
I know how to get drunk
I have got a hand
full of myself
and I swear
I can just feel the love
in this room tonight
its a wonderful life, George Bailey
don't throw yourself off that bridge
nice people
beautiful planet
I've got a hammer
and I'm looking for a nail
No,
I got hammered
and I'm looking to get nailed
hit it
kick it
bite it off
its too much to chew
its too much like you
branch out your beliefs
shaking in the wind
I carve my initials on your belly
with an old pocket knife
actually its a can opener
its a sponge
No,
I am a sponge
I am a sponge
soak in it
I am a sponge
I heard the change in your pocket
fork it over
spoon ran away
dish it out
bent spoon
a hungry moon
half full or half empty
full moon rolling
buttery dinner roll
take a bite
it is ripe
drum roll
rimshot
role call
role play
full moon
full circle
cue ball rolling
