AWhile you got it you fA#igure why not 
Flaunch off of the D#very highest rA#ope

A#Not trying to be Fshore side
Scoping Cbreaks to score a A#ride
A#More like causing Ffractures
From the Cdeep to make a tiA#de
A#Who needs slicker Ftools to build
a Cportrait out of A#place
A#Not trying to be Fsneaky when it's 
Cwanting face to A#face
