Too fun to pass up

Could you be loved and be loved

Don't ask me what you know is true
The world just lost two lonely people
There's no time for us, there's no place for us
If you're out on the road, feeling lonely and so cold
In every heart there is regret, while they soon repair, they won't forget.

Fuel injected, stainless steel chrome
Maybe it's my blood sugar, maybe it's because I'm mad
But I miss you most of all, when autumn leaves start to fall
Do it, do the hustle
I drink good coffee every morning

I'm on my way, I'm making it
It is only love I feel, that will give us peace of heart
Break it to me gently
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth
Don't be so hard on yourself.

I used to think my life was only up to me
Every night before I rest my head
Would you spare a minute, give me a single chance
Inna city woman, let me tell you this
Only the young and beautiful can be so aloof

I like your taste in music! :)

I was particularly fond of the little sideways non sequitur of "Fuel injected, stainless steel chrome" ;)

I love how coherent these are turning out. :D

No kidding, eh?

Except for the aforementioned "fuel injected" line ;)

You should submit this to a wanky literary journal (preferably one that's rejected you in the past and is known for being wanky and literary). See if they accept it. It could be a close-run thing.

That would be funny and totally disturbing at the same time
