(Sage Francis) It's time to rethink fact that is imaginable instinct dwells in a past that is inhabitable I happen to pull fast ones over the slow parole Who likes to speak to wolves who cry sheep Time seeps into our skin, age indicates how long we've been lost in I putting expression-less upon my face An awful waste of skin who waits for Autumn to begin My from grace, will do me in too late (I'm out of seasoning) No spring chicken, summer novel writer could win a prize It's Nobel, go to hell in a riding that he winterized I change my more often than my undergarments Abide abortion and other I'm an orphan who comes Providence I am a sign from God!

The strangest little kids the circle of false friendship of fire are connected at the elbow Cause they're tired, unexpectedly let go The Velcro light component that keeps there cohesive the music!
