lyrics

Whatcha wanna do with your life?
(Singing Saves the Day all alone in the garden classroom.)
When Humzah was born,
I rode home with no helmet from the Record Exchange
And played "Dookie" 'til the cows came home.
I liked the songs, liked the videos on MTV.
"Carry on my wayward son"
Playing air guitar all alone in the shag living room.

I'm drawing dragons by night,
Tracing lions when the sun comes up.
I'm on winter break for life.
The time between the holidays, the turkey term, went all right.
Isn't it red?
Isn't it hard to run through the Herrontown Woods with me,
And see the Pennyroyal palms in a memory.

Watching an inch worm
Hanging by a thread
Trying not to get eaten
Watching an inch worm

Anxiety spikes,
why do kids attack what they don't understand or know?
When Humzah was born,
I rode my bike down the stairs when the school was closed for good.

Isn't it red?
Isn't it hard to see
for the muddy waters completely
misread...
The message I sent went undelivered.
Isn't it red?
Isn't it hard to read while someone is watching the TV
instead.
We run around and burn the yearbook.

Attack of the inch worm!
Poking the penguin
Hanging by a thread
Watching an inch worm.
