Gm

Investigation dance? Those ants in pants glances.
Well,look behind the eyes. It's a hallowed hollow anesthetized

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.
The Papers wouldn't lie! I sigh, Not one more.  
Ref: 2× 
It's been a bad day.
Please don't take a picture.
It's been a bad day.
Please. 

1. We're dug in deep the price is steep. The auctioneer is such a creep.
The lights went out, the oil ran dry we blamed it on the other guy.
Sure, all men are created equal. Heres the church, heres the steeple.
Please stay tuned-we cut to sequel. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
