confession

NOW I’m here
out in the cold, I’m getting lonely at the same time that I’m getting old, I
can’t fell nobody, I’m helping them bury a light, now I can’t fight.
I’m sitting
naked by the phone, I can’t touch anyone and my ear is against the wall waiting
for someone to call out…I can’t carry stones nether open my heart
-hey you- this
is a thing that I should say, I know that was a fantasy and the wall is high but
you need to listen to things like that, because you’re the rock star here and
you should be in the other side of the coin or better in the other side of the
wall
And one more
thing the worms were eating your FAMOUS BRAIN.

WE LIKED THE MUSICAL BECAUSE IT’S
VERY CALM.
THE LANGUAGE IS VERY EASY BECAUSE IT
SHOWS A CLEAR PRONUNCIATION.
