         hi
         bye
         hi
         bye
         oh
         my
         you
         guys
         go
         going
         long
         gone
         think I'll disconnect the phone
         one less bill I'll have to pay
         much less bullshit I'll have
         to say your way is your way
         cheap transiency rules
         all the girls drool
         at your show
         on the front row
         a backstage pass
         and watch em glow
   so long
   farewell
   another sad goodbye
   to him
   and him
   we'll never
   meet again
          the original sin
          a seedy apple
          now it's vodka
          spiked with Snapple
tonight the Ghost of Heartaches past
peed in my potty
and didn't flush
what can you do
to make me blush?
saunter
don't rush
I've got a crush
on you
        ...I would leave tomorrow but my bills are due.
and the residue
is not very sparkly
if i scrub will it matter
batter up
fill my cup
hands up
and 85
gonna get
one a piece
no hesitation
and no repeats
               popular? beats me
               it's a fan magazine
                   illusion
               I wracked my brain
                   and got
                 a contusion
in the confusion
i lost her
and everybody else
is one big blur
