Karaoké Love, Me Normally Will Wood

In lipstick on the mirror are the lyrics to my obituary

In iambic pentameter

Followed parameter

Crossin' my eyes

Dot my T's

I was delivered holdin' scissors

I live deliberately

I'm a quitter

And a winner anyway 'cos I never agreed to participate in this game

Won't follow my dreams

No they all got me wakin' up screamin'

I can let them go from me

After all there's no I in team

And I'd rather be normal

Yes so normal

I suggest that we keep this informal

'Cos a normal human bein' wouldn't need to pretend to be normal

To be normal

Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya

To be normal in a

Ho in a way

I couldn't be

Yeah heh heh yeah

Come on, come on and love me normally

If I could live in third person well I don't think life would be much worse than it is

In the current tense, presently

This sentence endin' in question marks or dot, dot, dot

Is it courageous or escapist to leave the quarantine when you're contagious

It may just be a cold and besides I don't wanna get old yeah

I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party

When the afterparty came

I was rollin' in my grave

And I'd rather be normal

Yes so normal

I suggest that we keep this informal

'Cos a normal human bein' wouldn't need to pretend to be normal

To be normal

Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya

To be normal in a

Ho in a way

I couldn't be

Yeah heh heh yeah

Come on, come on and love me normally

Now this is the part of the song where I like to talk to my audience

I like to tell 'em there's somethin'

I want from you hep cats tonight

I want you to look to your left

Look to your right

Your twelve o'clock, three o'clock

Six o'clock, nine o'clock

Rock around the clock tonight

And I want you to find those points of no return

Those singularities

Those burnin' rings of fire in the beautiful pupils of the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy, girl neither, both or in-between that you brought with you tonight

And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel

I want you to love the way they so seamlessly

Like a dream

So beautifully

Oh so dutifully

Jam that square peg in the round hole in their hearts

I want you to tell 'em that you really love the way they don't stick out like sore middle fingers

That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve

Stick their flag in the peak and slide their way back down

Oh don't you love the way they're not maladaptive

Not malcontent

Not malignant or maleficent

But rather you love 'em exactly the way that everybody else is

I was nothin' before so I couldn't have asked to be born

I'll be nothin' again

So what am I between now and then

Is there nothin' to fear

'Cos shit's gettin' weird

So to God who made this man

You better have one hell of a plan

I'd rather be normal

Yes so normal

I suggest that we keep this informal

'Cos a normal human bein' wouldn't need

No ho ho

To pretend to be normal

To be normal

Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya

To be normal in a

Ho in a way

I could never be

Yeah heh heh

Come on, come on yeah

I said Come on yeah

Come on, come on yeah

I said Come on yeah

Come on, come on and love me normally woah woah oh

Yeah yeah

Woah ho ooh yeah heh

Come on, come on and love me normally
