This is horror movie stuff.
the muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
she's a girl and she's loving me
but distance is my tendency.
I am defeated

If I'm your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.

I am just a little acorn.

Call your bathroom friends around.
