I've scribbled out expectations all over this place
with woes and foes and troubles twisting my face
Everything I see is doubled, tripled, or bent
I make a little money, but my job keeps me spent

I've had a few lovers, some of my best memories
But when I open up to my friends it's all complaining
What happens next? I wish I had a summary
Or at least a place to stay cool 'neath this summer heat

Made a few new friends, inherited a family
People that I love to see and cherish inherently 
One whispered my name and passed a note to me
It was an invitation for a lunch meet and greet

Still, I was troubled because the girl I'd been seeing
Was conjuring strong feelings, but my feelings were fleeing
We were a match made on Tinder with a solid first date
And though she was lovely, I still loved my last mate

Whom happened to call me one day at the lake.
She told me she was ready to put it all away
Her  counselor said this, and her counselor said that
I told her that I missed her and wanted her back

She agreed it was worth it, we'd give it another try
But I now I think she's with some other guy
I try to stay cool when females get me tripping
So my pipe remains lit, my paint steadily dripping

Dickery

Hickory Dickory Dock
Last night a man got shot
Over a gold chain
The shooter had no brain in his membrane 
or respect for life
A man was ended last night
Hickory dickory dock

Dickery Dickery Dare
He had his hands in the air
wave a gun like you just don't care
A puncture through the heart
to accessorize the clothes he wears
We live in the same city but we can't share
Dickery Dickery Dare

Hippity Hoppity Ho
Blood spurts with just one blow
Blood stains on the girl just he met
Staring up at her facing his death
her number in his wallet dripping red and wet
Hippity Hoppity Ho

Chickory Cherokee Woo
Guess what their teaching in school
how to sing nursery rhymes at three
Instead of who these kids could really be
Have them write their name in cursive one hundred times
over the murder docket sentencing them to two hundred lifes 
These children are bleeding out in the street to nursery rhymes
Chickory Cherokee Woo

Hickory Dickery just won't do.

Rerun

He's a B-flat whole tone scale kind of guy
who wouldn't know it lest he tried
Never really touched the keys with feeling
until he pressed them next to me

He picked a grand D5 out of the list
A flabby kick, a tight snare, and ride
sequenced them with clever whim
laughing at this silly song

A few suggestions here and there like
subract the sounds as they rerun
shape the length of the pattern clip
and remember to press the song button

Flew the coop, leaving the nest behind
Sped up across the twenty-four
heard the call of our stomachs growl
Seeking provisions wrapped in flour
