Misheard Lyrics:
"Adolescent Sex"
Misheard Lyrics: Well you're out on the street
With your lover's infections Count impossibilities by lamination And your body still damp From your one-room apartment And your heartache reminds me Love's not in any doubt You submerge again, emerge again Just get out the strain! Original Lyrics: When you're out on the street
With your lover's infections Counting possibilities by elimination And your body's still damp From your one room apartment And your heartache remains then Love's not the antidote You submerge again, emerge again Just get on the street! | "My New Career"

that someone sat on my hometown. Original Lyrics: Well they say down South,
the sun won't set on my hometown. |

The Nonsensical Lyrics: Just when I think I'm winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped The ghosts of my life blow harder than the wind Why They're Nonsensical: I can safely say that I have yet to be prevented from doing anything by a ghost blowing me.
