If you're horrible to me, I'm going to write a song about it, and you won't like it. That's how I operate.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Irony regards every simple truth as a challenge.

Incongruity is the mainspring of laughter.

I don't know where I end and the world begins. My best guess? Skin. It's the only actual boundary between the body and the world, between a body and any other body.

Levity is the lubricant of a crisis. We resort to jokes, pranks and good natured kidding to relieve tension, stress and boredom.
