Who wants to know what kind of shirt I wear?

A stranger came up beside me and asked me what?

There were times when I was so lonesome  
I took some comfort where ?

If I’m not feeling any less sour  
I promised myself to treat myself  
And visit a nearby tower,  
And climbing to the top,  
Will throw myself off…

Not sure what was shown, but it happened in Monte Carlo.

Taking that another step forward: You moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and you’ve been to paradise, but you’ve never been … where?

Switching genres and genders, can anyone remind me of whatever happened to all my rowdy friends?

I saw a kid playing with a can that he was kicking, then I smelled someone frying chicken. What day is it?

I’m strummin’ my six-string on my front porch swing. What kind of shoes do I wear?

Sorry for double post, just thought of some. This is fun!  
They put me in the hospital for nerves… then what happened?

Dreams of war, dreams of lies, dreams of… ?
