Samples

you are the magic people.
drunk on armpit wine and fingerpainting the universe with your dreams.
you are the magic people.
flashlight picassos singing belly button arias to the moon.
you are the magic people.
full of back hair welcome mats and the tongue spunk of two year olds.

thank you for your phone booth anarchy,
the eyebrow comb-overs,
the burlap lip covers,
the brown eyed bric a bracs,
and the pie.

thank you for your sasquatch ambulances.
the all night toilet parties
the foreign service ring cream
the sand fountains
and the jam.

you are the magic people.
you are the magic people.

you are no third rate leafblower !
you are no fortune cookie gun rack !!
you are not the impotent tobacco nookie of delinquent bank martyrs !!!

you are the electric butter monkeys that created glow in the dark lunch meats.
you are tangerine lip nickels sword fighting with candleabras.
you are the cheese paddle fly swatters in love with john travolta's phone bills.

you are the magic people
you are the magic people

do not say that no one ever loved you.
i will miss you when i go.
