    I try to prop up the world like Atlas

    But I just cradle it in the stand of my

    Fingers like a giant crystal ball



    Gazing into the clear crystal

    I see a frozen land held together

    By rubber bands and everyone rubber



    It is easy to get led around

    When you have a collar

    You just keep moving your feet



    When I was a kid I wanted a pogo stick

    I wanted to bounce I guess

    Like Tiger from Winnie the pooh



    Always wanting to please

    But never very far from myself

    And searching now in dumpsters



    Wouldn’t it be nifty if all the letters of the alphabet

    Well that is a bit of a problem

    If you don’t know how to read



    I have a chance to reproduce

    I can make monsters

    I can undue the centuries with a kiss



    My life is like a piece of candy

    But Forrest Gump said that

    And I am not in the movies



    When I grow up I will tell the people

    And I will guide like an entrepreneur

    And will be wealthy but not strict



    Don’t look into the sun

    But when it sets and is beautiful

    Like a girl with softness and hair



    Don’t puke if you want to drink

    Don’t drink if you want to succeed

    And don’t ever try either



    The quiet is loud in the forrest

    The storm clouds are free

    I am a cloud, I am a cloud
