now it’s a long shot
you know, it’s nothing special
we’re going out on a limb
I know it’s big talk
and I’m backing it up
with more talk
send your votes in
so I’ll line them up side by side
and obfuscate where I need to
so you’ll never recognize
the things we’re trying to get over
this is a short one
so just get to the point
the harmony makes it sound right
so I’ll line them up side by side
and round it off where I need to
hope you never pick up on
the subliminal
that’s right
we’re all down
that’s right
it’s not what you think
I’ve got my own ideas
just trying to keep this interesting
so I lined them up side by side
to see where the melody would take me
when I thought this up and threw the gauntlet down
successfully killed me an evening
