leaves are now falling
soon we will enter Winter
much too long 'til Spring

O sweet Hostess Fruit Pie,
how I doth covet thee
your flaky, sugary crust ensorcels me
and
your unnaturally purple blueberry filling beguiles me
but why, o why, sweet pie, if you please...
why must you contain
480 calories...?

you tear down my reason

hold your breath
make a wish
count to three

come with me and you'll be
in a world of pure imagination
take a look and you'll see
into your imagination

we'll begin with a spin
travelling in the world of my creation
what we'll see will defy
explanation

if you want to view paradise
simply look around and view it
anything you want to, do it
want to change the world
there's nothing to it

there is no life I know
to compare with pure imagination.
living there you'll be free
if you truly wish to be

if you want to view paradise
simply look around and view it
anything you want to, do it
want to change the world
there's nothing to it

there is no life I know
to compare with pure imagination
living there you'll be free
if you truly wish to be

I see it coming
from the corner of my eye
horizon of spring

glittering snowflakes
trapped in the glowing streetlight
suspended in air

trees are fat with snow
dizzy, giddy little flakes
that drift slowly down
