Sing, sing a song, make it simple, to last your whole life long.  
No matter if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear…

Do you remember December’s foggy freeze? Ice was clinging to your beard in screaming agony.  
And catch yourself your last breath with deep sea divers sounds and the flowers bloom like madness in the Spring.

Operator, let’s forget about this call.  
There’s no one there I really wanted to talk to.  
Thank you for your time, you’ve been so much more than kind.  
And you can keep the dime.
