MONDAY

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground.
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year 'round.
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees.
And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze.
The world is your snowball, see how it grows.
That's how it goes whenever it snows.
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along.
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl.
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

Friends are like chocolate cake, you can never have too many.
Chocolate cake is like heaven always amazing you with each taste or feeling.
Chocolate cake is like life with so many different pieces.
Chocolate cake is like happiness, you can never get enough of it.

We are the time. We are the famou s
We are the time. We are the famous metaphor from Heraclotus the Obscure.
We are the water, not the hard diamond, the one that is lost, not the one that stands still.
We are the river and we are that greek that looks himself into the river. His reflection changes into the waters of the changing mirror, into the crystal that changes like the fire.
We are the vain predetermined river, in his travel to his sea.
The shadows have surrounded him.
Everything said goodbye to us, everything goes away.
Memory does not stamp his own coin.
However, there is something that stays however, there is something that bemoans.

• If you be the cash
I'll be the rubberband
You be the match
Imma be your fuse
Boom!
Painter baby you
Could be the muse
I'm the reporter baby
You could be the news

• The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

• Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass
Got that super bass boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass
(Boom) [x15]
You got that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass

• You’re a dime, so beautiful
Top of the line, so unusual
Words can’t define,
You’re running through my mind all day
(day)
I’m so happy you’re mine, so beautiful
Top of the line, so unusual
Now I think it’s time, hey shawty

• Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

• You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor
Well, You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
Well, You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie

• Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you

'Cause you make me feel like, I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like, I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Oh, oh, oh

She’s as free as blue bonnets in the summer.
She’s as hot as the Padre Island sun.
Most of the time she’s warm and friendly like the hills that surround Austin.
She’s as bright as the Dallas sky.
She always holds her head up high.
She loves the company of her family.
She has faith in God’s greater plan.
She trusts that I’m a good man.
That’s why I’ll always believe that she’s like Texas, and she likes me.
Her eyes are green like the trees in Nacogdoches.
Her teeth are white as cotton in the fall.
And when she laughs you’ll always take notice because her heart’s charm shines right through it all.
