There Once Was a Little Girl
Do you think like I think?
When you see people waiting
At the bus stop and you can't
Feel the heat in your A/C
Do you remember the last time
You were seared by the magma rays?
When you drive by
Do you notice there is no cover
Overhead in the event of inclement
Weather when things can happen
That you just can't imagine
Until you are in the arms of hell beggin..
