the owl believes he dines alone he floats majestic not like a stone watch them film birds of prey I'm there for lunch, not much to say though you are engaging and I like your voice speaking nonsense fabulous if you had more piercings and a hooded cloak they might believe your little joke the owl believes gorilla men a black tie to strangle them with the look of love we are honour bound whisper sweet nothings to grind them down grind them, follow their words they keep talking, having you on tiny plans to gather like a nightmare machine "Oh, it's the cat!" fat and tame, fat and tame, fat and tame tiny plans to gather the out come is the same watch the outcome is the same they keep talking, having you on tiny plans to capture like a nightmare tool the outcome is the same watch the outcome is the same the puss he is fat and tame tiny plans to gather like a nightmare machine

I have lately discovered flat surfaces I have lately discovered flat surfaces mad dog runs the evidence curve the inquisitive bride asks "Has the caretaker died?" with her clipboard tracks leaving with the facts I have lately discovered flat surfaces she made pure lemonade in a pink microwave you are not a slave you just a name you are just a couch potato and I'm very very very much the same I have lately discovered flat surface flat surfaces the bohemian craze in a bohemian daze I was somewhat impressed it was all out of phase a curious delight a curious bookend a curious old friend but we never had our end away I ran off down the road in my socks and bare feet

about

The story of bird people who came from outer space to rescue Egg Cramp from her cage and retroactively change human beings into byrdies by inverting their time lines with a nightmare machine. Luckily one person was immune to the nightmare machine. Going by the name Thin Swamp Crusta Bitty, she invented tram cakes, which were highly addictive but also reversed the affects of the dreaded nightmare machine. Humanity was saved once again!
