lyrics

He was often at a loss for words
Yet bought a life insurance policy and got the cost deferred
He promised not to talk at first
The only thing required was some silence till the mantra’s heard

He said he never offered her
The best of his abilities and also when he coughed it hurt
The mom was getting on his nerves
Until he promised he would go along with to her daughter’s church

To be honest he was not concerned
Until it dawned that she was in the wrong about her father’s worth
All his thoughts had made the problem worse
He couldn’t stop believing he had witnessed a demonic curse

He preferred the floor tho it was not as firm
He’d call his phone to hear the tone to see if it no longer worked
Some say he was an awful jerk
And so it’s highly likely he’s residing where the possum lurks

He always traveled where the wind blew
Until that time the frigid climate took him to an igloo
When he was young he used to skip school
But only cause the students spread a rumor he would sniff glue

He often took a trip to
The city’s edge but never left it nor did he attempt to
Overcome with imminent doom
He’d barricade the front door so nobody could get thru

The neighbors thought it was a dick move
But management was fine since he always paid when rent’s due
Hardly ever in a pissed mood
He whistled really well it prob’ly helped he had a chipped tooth

That presents another issue
A story for some other day discussing what he went thru
They say he constantly would hit snooze
The possum was out walking while he slept inside of his room
