Today, now, lasts too long
But rush, type, read, panic, daydream, make some tea, pull down the shade, put on the headphones and dance
No time for a tan, though
Val's almost done. So are Jess, Jill, 'n' Mike
But me 'n' Meg? Oh yeah, me 'n' Meg
K-Mart closing sales will have to wait
Who smells May? One can only smell it for now, though
'Til then? Type, read, panic, read, type
Oh, fine, put out a blanket. We'll tan
In a month
Arnie's mowin' the lawn, scrubbin' his truck, power-washing the siding

May sweeps, but Thursday night at ten o' clock is all I ask for
Please report to trauma one
In a month
Grass candle lit, and no, it doesn't smell like birdseed
The outlets on this side of the room don't work
Who cares, though. Which King novel will it be?
In a month
Finally this window gets cleaned.
No more dusty lightning. I just might race to Molly's room.
Oh yeah, married, that's right.
But today, now, lasts too long
Type, read, panic, read, type
Don't forget to save twice
