I woke up this morning and I couldn't find my bed, all my thoughts were misconstructed and there was fog inside my head. So I went out to the water for to find some air to breathe, but the ocean was busy arguing semantics with the sea. So I went back to my house, but my house was not a home, it was just a pack of cigarettes sittin all alone waiting for the fire. So I set fire to the cigarettes and called up all my friends, I said "WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PARTY UNTIL EVERYONE IS DEAD!!" and then we stole the local liquor store and had ourselves a sale, but my license was suspended and so I ended up in jail. By the time my term was over all the booze was gone, and everybody was so wasted they thought it was 1941 - waiting for the war. So I said, "To hell with all this nonsense, I'm gonna leave this place!" so I powdered my belongings, and I loaded up my face. Then I stole the nearest tricycle and all the lemonade, and as I rode into the sunset I felt just like Jesse James. But the local sheriff was waiting for me with a glass of water, he said "Son I've got this poster if you'd just sign it for my daughter - make it out to Sue". But I couldn't find a pencil, and I couldn't find a pen, I couldn't find myself, and I couldn't find my friends, and my tricycle was broken, and the lemonade was bad, and even worse it turns out the local sheriff was actually my dad. I said, "I didn't know I had a sister!", he said, "I didn't know I had a son!" so he invited me to the tavern, but I wasn't 21 so I just went back to bed. Alright.
