could dig a fat cat
pounding on his drums
and singing his poetry
and could it
ever lead to a controversy
define a generation; does
a time period hold a place
in merriam-webster
and if so, is description
painted by nostalgia
does the black hair and
blue eyes of a maiden fair
cut out past a curtain
of unmasked expectations
because a screen and speakers
told everything I have to remember
chorus:
and can anyone remember
back to '99
I swear back than was a
simpler time
when blood never left my brain
and left my tongue fry
and my teeth were as bright as your eyes
I've never had an appreciation
of abstract art
even now with a cognitive resource
I can't see/smell past an eye/eye
and bingo was never really my game
to much luck
and I have none
except now I can reflect on it
and if the holes in my ears get
any larger and if
my skin gets covered
by any more than my thread sleeves
I don't know what
I'd think of me
if I had a time machine
to the future or the past
chorus
bridge:
I'm a cardboard cut-out
still but moving
even more terrifying
and I prefer cartridges to disks
