Verse 2:
EMy feet are burning like a GRoman hAypocaBust

And the phases of the moon directing all of my decisions like this...
Bridge: [play riff *1 and riff **2 during this part]
[Women need to know], I play dumb like Columbo

To not even know what you are doing, or care about yourself or your species in the billions
[play riff ***3]
