By Ourselves...Together
Sit down with me.
No fear.
Here we are alone,
my dream come true.
Weather is nice today, isn't it?
Oh, gosh. I feel a burp coming on,
but I don't want you to know that.
It's okay now. The worst is over.
The storm has passed.
What did you just say? The burp
distracted me, left me deaf
in both ears when I let go
on the inside.
Right. Uh, huh. No no.
No.
My dream come true
is now spiraling down into
"A Nightmare on Oak Street".
Can we go back to talking about the weather?
