All we can say is that she's in custody and we're attending to the injured
Has she said anything revealing…

Well I don't care, and Mommy knew, she wanted to join in the fun
But ever since my little sister…

And he would see her when they passed in the hall
(When they passed in the hall…

He has no idea what he's doing, but a part of him does
But then he walks into a church, hands starting…

Then he yells out, "Please don't finish the sentence!
I got something I wanna say, and it needs to be said!"
She walked up to him…

…courteously and graciously
The twain passed through the gate,
Then sat within the banquet hall,
The viands to await.
But lo! through window…

Came gliding in -- betwixt her hands
She bare a vase of gold.
And thereunto the King kneeled down,
Devoutly…

The wonder happed again.
For Lancelot's nephew, young Sir Bors,
To Corben Castle rode,
And in the banquet-hall he saw…

They figure be his friend since the girls let them [?]
Time passed by, he started shooting ball
Girls slip him numbers, say…

Didn't want to mingle cause [?] wasn't her style
Time passed by, she been in school a minute
Time…
…to open up, so she started dating Kenny
See, Ken he was nice, typical guy to be with
She fell in love with him, and started telling him…

Sitting around still waiting, two years and a month done passed
Realizing my foolish ways, too late now…

She gave up and let him make it, put it in the hands of God
Now the child is getting older…

It was the shingles, then C. diff, now they're saying lupus
She's a single mom with two kids and she…

And woke up to the sound of Michael Caine's voice, echoing
Down the hall and just like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now

She was sweet for a second, but then she turned into a little f*cking brat
And I came back and Jane Fonda was in the…

In the forest singing, sorrow-less
