Six-Word Stories lyrics

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.Born a twin; Graduated only child.New genes demand expression—third eye.Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers. Strangers.Found true love. Married someone else.Best friends. Some beers. New lovers.Friends. Liquid confidence. Admit love. Marriage.Two lovers. One parachute. No survivors.“Wrong number,” says a familiar voice.

Just tried. Failed. Will try again.Wasted day. Wasted life. Dessert, please.It cost too much, staying human.I win lottery. Sun goes nova.Big bang. No God. Fadeout. End.Bang postponed. Not big enough. Reboot.

Born in the desert, still thirsty.Stone cold. Rock solid. Gem pretty.Bad knee. Sore arm. Good heart.Stayed up too late. Found this.Hanging on by aspirin and caffeine.Where do we go from here?From content to content to contempt.Not starting over. Starting late, like.The rest? Still to be written.For sale: wisdom. Price: above pearls.

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
