Seems like years ago it was yesterday
Fire drill yell freeze don''t hang around long face disease
I got a book of poems that''s gonna set you free
Well it''s bad luck and it''s a hard luck story
And I''m sorry I ain''t sticking around
I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain''t enough
Well it''s a sick world and sixteen days
I got nightmares every night
I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain''t enough
Hardcore uptown not the kind of place you wanna settle down
I only walked her home but that was bad enough
Two trains yell freeze it was a head-on cold now it''s a love disease
I got a book of poems you gotta see to believe
