I've never understood it. I just don't

understand why I don't understand at all.

You're gonna be all right.

# There's a long goodbye

# And it happens every day

# When some passer-by

# To come his way

# Even as he smiles a quick hello

you've let the moment fly

# As in a dream

# Running for a plane through the rain

Two for the price of one.

# Until they die

# It's too late to try

# When a missed hello

# Becomes a long...

Never seen so many cat foods in my...

Thanks a lot, but they hurt my teeth.

But if you wanna make me

Oh, the cat's hungry. Right, right.

Did I lock you out of the kitchen?

I'll fix your dinner

just as soon as I get me a smoke.

Right, here you are.

Coury Brand, the finest I could find.
