You'll Rest In The Arms Of An Angel

Some say you'll rest in the arms of an angel when you're gone.

But darling, I'll thatch that and keep you close tight to me

I don't want to be lost or equally found.

Calligraphy And Anatomy Classes Combined

I want to play calligraphy with my tongue
Measure exactly these same isotopes you can never change
Even though their mass is never the same
I want to measure every atom and neutron in your body

For Your One True Love

Have a little nip and tuck
For your one true love
Strive to be beautiful even when the sun goes down
Sleep with a plastic surgeon, the best in town
