This Song & I

This song and I
share a wild history child
was summer or fall
two-thousand and one
we were havin fun
two livin as one - sort of
and then one day at dawn
[this song came on/along came this song]
a single man on a [sandy] beach
he got something to teach or preach
the girls and boys
they gonna like this noise
apart from the gray skies
the shine in his eyes
[makes/made] me realize
that there’s another life out there
another way very different days
could I learn to play
would that be ok
or no fucking way
go on girl tell me to leave or should I stay
today or tonight
tomorrow we fight for our right
to be big-time wrong
under the big-top in a mall parking lot

I learned about abuse
not everyone’s amused
cuz to tell you the truth
this makes no sense at all
brutalize [brutal-eyes] wearing a little bow-tie
is still brutal and bother-some
to the wrong and right
lies dormant tonight
would you believe what you see
if it weren’t on tv
it’s an awkward thing
to learn how to think all over again
yeah, we’re still friends
sorta...
