I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Care if I'm old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
If I don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away
Way from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
Of a ghost

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you

One baby to another said I'm lucky to have met you...
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my responsibility to completely drain you
A travel through a tube and end up in your infection
D

Chew your meat for you
pass it back and forth
In a
passionate kiss,
from my mouth to yours
A5 G5 F#5
because I like you.
With eyes so dialted I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything with a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful. Vacuum out the fluids.

You're my vitamins

----------------------------------------------------------------------Lounge Act
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't, tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowning fear
Experience anything yoy need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you
do
than cool
rhyme
is blind
