This is a note, to self situation A microphone test or a dense dictation Last time, they tried to fit me in a funny suit This time, they tried to fill my pocket full of loot Next time, they'll start to weep while I'm bailing Next time, I'll have to wait through their wailing Last time, they had to hang me like a poster This time, they rode me like a rollercoaster, Next time, they'll have to find me if they wanna try Next time, they'll have a long time to wonder why I always turn my head when they walk by I make believe my shoelace came untied Better yet act like something's in my eye oh I gotta do what I don't want to High as the heaps that hunt and haunt you Pouring to paint your peeling won't you Pull a pal away when he's reeling don't you Look at last time for one minute I promise I'll try Look at this time will and win it with a gleaming in my eye Look at next time search and squint it pull power from the sky Look at what the light does when we're in it So I wonder why, I stop to wonder why Last time, they spread me shallow like the gravel This time, they struck me twice like a gavel Order in the court! What court? is the question Give no retort, leave everybody guessing Last time, they bent me over like a rainbow This time, they step through me like a tango Next time, I'll abbreviate it so they won't lose their breath every time they say it oh I'll keep a song inside their head and bloom Feed it sweet light, fertilize it with some tune If words are the wrist then music's the perfume Oh song from the mouth of friend or stranger Dangerous bird or bird of danger If you can keep up, well why won't you? Songs everywhere, so I sing it, don't you? Look at last time for one minute I'll promise I'll try Look at this time will and win it with a gleaming in my eye Look at next time search and squint it pull power from the sky Look at what the light does when we're in it Now I wonder why, I stop to wonder why Last time, last time This time, this time Next time, next time I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
