and I got one thing that worked its way right through to here hold it up to the light shut one eye and peer right into it like a crystal ball like a telescope do you see do you see what I see here and right now it's warm as thunder when there isn't any rain and a million miles away is where that storm is gonna break and I'll do the things I'm dying to do and baby, dead dead is on the way well they tell me that's what mama had to say I got my own life on my own side I got whisky when I'm out of beer I got all the things I never should have tried I am seventeen and it feels so queer sick and bad and disgusting I am seventeen and I I want to get high
