And in my dreams i wrote the best vocal that i've ever written…tin't remember how it goes.
I stayed drunk and vicious awake and i was cycling on a aeroplane and far abroad i heard you say you liked me.
We drifted to a party – cool.

They fabricated their paints past mixing acid wash and lemonade.
In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the folio to spell your proper noun.
I found an Ezra Pound and fabricated a bet that if i found a cigarette i'd driblet information technology all and marry you.
Only then a song comes on: "you can't ever go what y'all desire" – the Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the irony!
The stones became the moss and once all inhibitions lost, the hipsters made a mission to the farm.
We drove by tractor there, the yellow straw replaced our hair, we laced the dairy river with the foam of sugariness vermouth.
In my encephalon I re-arrange the messages on the folio to spell your name.
You lot said "we only live once" so nosotros touched a piddling tongue, and instantly i wanted to…I lost my train of thought and jumped aboard the Epping as the doors were slowly closing on the world.
I touched on and off and rubbed my arm up against yours and still the inspector inspected me.
The lady in the roof was living proof that naught actually e'er is exactly equally it seems.
In my brain I re-accommodate the messages on the page to spell your proper name.
We caught the river boat downstream and ended up beside a team of angry footballers.
I fed the ducks some krill and then nosotros were sucked confronting our will into the welcome doors of the casino.
We drank green margaritas, danced with sweet senoritas, and nosotros all went home as winners of a kind.
You said "i guarantee we'll take more fun, drink till the moon becomes the sun, and in the taxi home i'll sing you a Triffids vocal!"
In my encephalon I re-arrange the messages on the page to spell your proper noun.

It's a "Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac".
It's got a lovely garden, a garage for two cars to park in ("or a lot of room for storage if you've simply got ane").
And it'southward going pretty inexpensive you say? "Well it's a deceased estate….aren't the pressed metallic ceilings peachy?"
And then I see the handrails in the shower, a collection of those canisters for coffee, tea and flour, and a photo of a young homo in a van in Vietnam.
And I tin can't think of floorboards anymore, whether the front end room faces s or due north, and I wonder what she bought it for.
