The Vowels Pt. 2

[Verse 1]
I'm not a ladies' man, I'm a land mine
Filming my own fake death
Under an '88 Cavalier, I go
But-but-but-but, nothing but the rear bumper's blown
But I was born for this flight
United 955 on the Fifth of July
Back to SFO, I
I join the dark side
In a thin disguise
On consumer grade video at night

[Verse 2]
Faking suicide for applause
In the food courts of malls
And cursing racing horses on church steps
Playing The Wall at singles bingo
All-time gringo
Did anyone hear me cry there?
Through a toilet-stall divider
I swear, I care, not

[Verse 3]
Am I an example of a calculated birth
To a star chart for clowns? I'm not
Under Robin's eggs in a nest
You hid a manila envelope
With one last little Robin's egg in it
A hollow bullet yet spent
Subject to dismissal
I wish all my pitfalls
Could be caught by this call —
