I've run races

Straight like laces

My left writes rhymes

When it's all wrong in my right mind

My left don't know

Where my right goes

Or soul out window blows

Ego shows up apropos though.

Head like driving range

I say I can change

It just tells me I'm lying

Bullets through my brain

You should hear how

They shoot me down when I'm trying.

So this is where you're at now

Lost your man and your big house

So you can sit at your piano twenty hours a day

And write a thousand words out of fear you've got nothing to say

But I wanna get some

Have fun while I'm still young

Shotgun in the old flesh-bag tonight

Cry about it, I'm gonna have the time of your life

Your life, your life.

Hubris loses me

Sleep and true love seeps

Through the cracks in the walls

It says I'm too far gone

Crossed the rubicon

On the way to the ball.

This is where you're at now

Epsom salt in the bathtub

'cause that seven o'clock walk left you cold

And the tums don't work, cotton candy vomit in the bowl

And the night sits

On the water like an oil slick

Around island breasts still swollen high

Over burning lungs. did you have the time of my life?

My life, my life.

And I said

Please don't leave me alone

I'm high filling my young lungs

Locked in my new car

Please don't leave me alone

I'm high, telephones and angels

Send me a new heart.

And this is where I'm at now

On my knees in the back row

Anthropomorphizing love

That is who is what is what I've always know

So my left can

Hold hand hands with my right and

Skyrocket cross-sections first

Into creation's ceiling and bust it open and find god

Who'll say I don't need a clever rhyme

To believe in love that'll last forever and I

Don't need a ploy or a body or bottle

To knit a good man with honor and still "how's your father"

And this "my"

This "I", this "self" will die

It's not really mine

But I will show it beauty

While I have the hands and heart and lips and eyes

And mind

That knows time is only manmade

But while I am man

I won't be wasting mine

We're one love

And one strife

And I'm gonna have the time of my life

My life, it's my life.
