Can't afford flowers But if I could I'd not know where to plant them I don't know species I'd probably sneeze But rest assured If I could I'd weep a bunch once a week... My very first car I bought from you for a dollar It's still on lay-buy I would pay by any means that you could take It drove me further Than I had dared to dream We spoke at length When you said to "fly away" and fly I did I didn't mean to miss your funeral But like you said, I've got to sing from my heart Your words like whispers written on my skin And I wear your silver suit That you gave my mother away in as I sing. Dear headmaster, Irreverent pupil would like to venture Some advice if he might Learn to spell your own name Before you give it away It makes things easier When you climb down the family tree To get to me You led a protest Right to the ending Ending up where you started by the water I hope you're swimming I hope you're swimming I hope you're spinning In orbit of the stars I'd like to chase...
