This is the moment where the paper meets the pen,
and I begin again: a journey of wordy-birdy absurdities.
You heard me perfectly, work with me Earth Worms.
Eat the dirt with me boys and girlies, it's bright and early; start squirming!
I've got a thirst to learn what's worth the turn-of-a-cheek,
the word of God ain't working on me!
I try my best to connect with him through confession,
I'm left with these mixed-messages, stressing my inner-harmony...
and every time that he tries to lay his hand on me,
I duck-and-cover like he was trying to steal my thunder from me.
Honesty's the best policy, it's just gotta be.
Honestly, quite possibly the best way to be.
Hate to be what you make of me,
I didn't mean to be mean to you;
I'm truly sorry for all the feelings that I instill in you:
"I believe in you."
Gather your thoughts, this time is yours...
but, one last thing that you must ensure...
these fervid fingers of city streets care
- not at all - to aid the weak...
like you, my friend: your weakness shows.
It stains your teeth and it stains you clothes.
That voice, that smile, that warm rapport?
That's customer service...now, please leave the store!
Honesty's the best policy, it's just gotta be.
Honestly, quite possibly the best way to be.
Hate to be what you make of me,
I didn't mean to be mean to you;
I'm truly sorry for all the feelings that I instill in you:
"I believe in you."
Animalistic instincts are kicking in!
I'm a ballistic reptilian with burning wings!
Invisible, shape-shifting, lizard-like demon...
Extra-dimensional, terrestrial being!
