Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
As the lukewarm hands of the Gods Came down and gently picked my adrenaline pearls They placed them in their mouths And rinsed all of the fear out Nourished them with their saliva ooh rested, as if the healthiest past-time Is being in life-threatening circumstances And once again be reborn (All birthed and happy) All birthed and happy (All birthed and happy) All birthed and happy Best way to start the new is to fail miserably Fail at loving and fail at giving Fail at creating a flow then realign the whole And kick into the start hole And kick into the start hole And kick into the start hole To risk all is the end all and the beginning all To risk all is the end all and the beginning all
