Out of the Rain

If an alligator

Swallowed a bird...

Would it try to fly?

In its stomach?

Do worms wish

That they were snakes?

Does every woman cry?

When their heart breaks?

How long does it take?

To convince myself

That I still have something

To look forward to?

My dreams look so far away

I'm looking through the telescope

The wrong way.

It's right in front of my eyes

Yet seems as though

I still have so far to go.

The more I learn

The more I will know.

The more I hurt

The more I will grow.

The heart is a muscle

It needs to flex

That doesn't mean

That I want to have sex

Look up another girl

In your Rolodex

Take off your shirt

Impress her with your pecks.

Remember that muscles strain

That is why I'm in such pain

One of these days

I'll step out of the rain.
