I can play percussion
by Jared Fladeland
bum. chik. ba-bum. chik. ba-bum bum chik. bum. chik.
I've got to tell the world a secret.
bum. chik. ba-bum. chik.
I'm not who you think I am.
ba-bum bum chik. bum. chik.
I've got mad poets' disease.
bum. chik. ba-bum. chik.
I'm dying of the black plague.
ba-bum bum chik. bum. chik.
My entire closet is filled with black items.
bum-bum-bum bum-bum-bum bum. chik.
I love the world today.
chik.
