yo yo
gotta keep shining gotta keep smiling
fuck that shit ill give you a hiding
$20 cask and i'll be nice to you
forever be true just me and my brew
neva had a girl who loved me truly
probe cos my charms unruly
then i met myself and i was like holy shit
i hit the jackpot, crackpot, what a lotta tack tock
rocking round the clock concealing no glock
i'm not hood, this lock down got shot down
i was unhappy, crappy, i turned a little sappy
in my nappies haven little fappys and frappes
thinking how'd i get this far when i don't even know me
show me blow me i can't get more lonely
I'm phoney, if only, i knew where to go me
do i wanna be a doctor or a funny guy
do i want papers or to have them honeys fly
it sucks when you're in bed all you do is cry
cos you aint got nothing and you wanna die
don't wanna meet no body I'm so shy
at first it was cute but now you know why
I'm so afraid, my bed is made
now i gotta lie
in it
but sometimes i just wish life would hold on a minute
sometimes im still there at the window with you
it scared me because i didn't know what you'd do
no clue its true our love was blue
but its okay you know why I'm okay and you're alright
i still think theres a light shining out your ass
and I'm glad that we met in class
and I'm so glad for the time we spent together
that day on the island beautiful weather
and whatever
happens down the line
you know id be there in time
cos I said id always be by your side
but anyway i don't want to dwell
now that everything is so swell, i hope to travel
i wanna go to india or iran
just kidding as if id last a darn in iran
but ill be on the bbc one day
wave through the camera hey mum I'm okay
and ill say I've come a long way but theres still heaps to go
now this song is as sappy as i never wanted it to be
i think its the piano so inspiring you and me
ill leave but i just wanted to say
I'm kinda glad i got to live another day
