he came down th hill
and i was singin with michael
and with th inclusion of rock spiders drum

we got our thing goin
was hard work tryin to find that
gelling thing last night

funny
rock spider

was tellin me

he finally agrees with me
what i said i saw on that prog

about singin

orgasmic sounds to chicks

i dunno but

which chick he was talkin about

at round three am

i got about
an hour

of full voice
