Lynn Levin - Being me lyrics

Being me is kind of neurosis but sometimes I have fun between crises. As a kid, I once identified a copperhead by looking it straight in the eye. It really did have vertical pupils like a cat's. I yelled poisonous! and the other girls and boys ran off. In those days I wasn't very nearsighted but I was very fond of cats. Remembering my childhood is like putting my hand down the garbage disposal and hoping no one will turn it on. When I wasn't spreading bu*terflies, I played undertaker with my cousins: first makeup, then the footlocker. Live burial, I found, was not for me. Instead of birding, I now watch Navy jets. The F16's always fly in pairs as if they were scared or mating. Will Mitchell ever call? It's been ten years... I didn't like being lost in the middle of the night on a Jersey highway. On my way to the bed and breakfast I took every wrong exit. I thought I was going to have to start a completely new life. I have an excellent homing device For error, its only natural- dark energy controls most of the world and pulls me I-don't-know-where but not to dinner with Danny and Marge I wish I could remember your name the way I remember every mean thing anyone's ever said to me. Have you played Police Chase? The one with the most felonies and damage wins. When my client ordered a fourth redirect of my direct-mail kit for the Anti-Stress Handbook, I said f** you! and quit the project. Then I had the whole afternoon to weed my garden.
