dialog box
Picture this Bumping lips Everyone talks Do a dialogue box They shake and bake Make a cranky face They got rocks in the head Got rocks in the bed Pull the hood down Grab the fold out Is it too loud? Is it all right? Makin' contact And you know that Need a tight fit To survive Romeo Said Juliette Got a dialogue box Hey look at me, that's my answer All Sparkly white Shiny bright A genuine smile The Renegade style Gonna heat 'em up And stir the pot bake it a while Then cool on the side Tribulation Revelation Absolution Prophesized I'm a rich man, I'm a poor man But the main thing I'm alive Lost in Space Cosmic haze Beautiful wreck Special effect Clean and pure Swift and sure I'm ready to drop In a dialogue box Decoration Innovation My creation Any size If you try it And you like it You can have it customized Gonna test ya With a gesture Do I feel ya? Are ya scared? In the darkness In the details At the movies Or a play All crinkled up Delirious Fall through the cracks In a dialogue box With a smiley bump Gonna line 'em up And the question I ask Hey look at me That's my answer
