Oh why was I born with a different face
Why was I not born like the rest of my race
When I look each one starts
When I speak I offend
Then I'm silent and passive and lose every friend

I just had a very strange dream.
You and I were gilding together on the glass,
through very thin vinyl.
There was a huge white piece of vinyl.
Everything was white.
But we weren't holding our tips.
We were able to lay the gold
across the surface of the vinyl
with squeegies.

very nice work. I see you have an addiction.
