I liked my one better 😉 Also - look out! Falling Mondegreens!

Ahem

Without artificial illumination, the peril is reduced.  
We have arrived - reduce our boredom  
I feel foolish, and catching  
We have arrived - reduce our boredom

When our terrestrial satellite is in the mansion of the fifth prime  
And Zeus coincides with Ares  
Then irenic serenity will shepherd the wandering orbs  
And amour proper shall drive the stellar lights

Envision there’s no celestial city  
It’s not hard if you endeavor  
No hades under us  
Atop us only atmosphere …

Near the beginning of the period between sunrise and noon when I was following a given circuit  
I injected a dose of benzoylmethylecgonine and discharged a lead projectile into my female companion.  
I returned to my abode and sought temporary unconsciousness.  
I placed my favorite firearm with a barrel diameter of 0.44 inches below my cranium.

Satan save the monarch  
The totalitarian dominion  
They made you you a duncehead  
A veritable ICBM

Satan save the monarch  
She’s not _homo sapien_  
And there’s no fullness of time  
And England’s hallucinating

Don’t be instructed what you wish for  
Don’t be instructed what you require  
There’s no fullness of time  
No fullness of time  
Mo fullness of time for you

Satan save the monarch  
We’re sincere, dude  
We like our monarch  
And satan saves

Satan save the monarch  
'Cause tourists enable a revenue stream  
And our titular head  
Is not what it seems

I am primate and a flea bit me  
and my comrades are drug addicts  
or not.  
I am a chilled Italian pie  
I would like my male member squeezed.  
I invite you to do it.  
I’m glad to be a male drug addict.  
I’m glad you are a female addict.

I see you commuting about the village with the lady I have affection for, and I’m thinking, fornicate this guy. I’m trying to sort out if it’s perhaps the lack of coinage in the compartments sewn into my pants, and I’m still thinking, seriously, perform a sexual act on this guy, and not in a pleasant way. And I should add, that same sentiment goes for the lady I had mentioned previously.

This territory is for me,  
This territory is for you,  
From the 31st state to the 11th’s enisled acreage,  
From woods of S. giganteum to the east shoreline of the 27th state,  
This territory came into existence for us.

A woman is confident  
All shiny objects are aureate  
And she’s purchasing an escalier to paradise  
When she arrives she checks  
If any merchant booths are open  
And then she’ll obtain any item by saying a single word  
Oh oh oh oh and she’s purchasing an escalier to paradise  
There’s a document with information  
But she wishes to verify the intent  
Due to words having multiple connotations  
In the topiary by the estuary  
There’s an oscine who carries a tune with its voice  
The inaccuracies of our thinking processes  
Ooh, I hereby speculate  
Ooh, I hereby speculate  
I come to a realization  
When I look 90 degrees perpendicular to the north  
and my essence regrets disembarking  
Upon examination of my information processing ability  
Vapor ovals in the topiary  
And spectators commenting about something  
Ooh, I hereby ponder  
Ooh, I really hereby ponder

In an outdoors flatland  
I engage in conflict for food  
I perform physical labor  
I do not engage in conflict  
To demonstrate my moral superiority  
I do not require a pardon

I enjoy large posteriors, but lack the ability to prevaricate.  
You, my male siblings, are unable to dispute this.

There exists a woman who is certain  
Everything that scintillates is aurous  
And she is purchasing a path of steps to nirvana.

She was merely a maiden from a village of few people,  
Existing in a milieu that provides insufficient companionship.  
Said maiden boarded an iron horse that departed as one day faded to the next.  
She then journeyed towards a place best named oblivion.

The lad hailed from a most populous place, having been spewn into this world and ushered into manhood in the southern sector of a city on the shore of great waters.  
He as well boarded that self same rail-drawn conveyance, also at the hour of all naughts, and began a similar journey, hurtling in the direction of… no place at all.
