More lyrics existing solely in my befuddled head.
Rush – “Free Will”
What I Hear/Say
I will choose a bathysphere
I will choose free will

I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will
R.E.M. – “Near Wild Heaven”
What I Hear/Say
And I don’t know how much longer I can take it
Just give me a board I’ll break it
Actual Lyrics
And I don’t know how much longer I can take it
House made of heart break it
See Volume 1 here.
Hey, lyrics just happen to me, man.
Like this one, that flew out of my head this morning like a wet booger.
Like Oral Roberts
Or Roberts Blossom
Like the swarthy guy from Hostel
Playin’ possum
Often times I’ll mishear song lyrics and merrily sing the wrong words.
Even when I learn they aren’t the right words, it would take a nuclear bomb covered in salsa to get me to stop using the lyrics I first thought I heard.
So, here’s the first installment in a continuing series of lyrics that only exist in my head.
Moby – Natural Blues
What I Hear/Say
Oh no, trouble with God
Oh no, trouble with God
Actual lyrics
oh lordy, trouble so hard
oh lordy, trouble so hard
Harry Belafonte – The Banana Boat Song
What I Hear/Say
A beautiful bunch of ripe bananas
Highly deadly black tarantula
Actual lyrics
A beautiful bunch of ripe bananas
Hides the deadly black tarantula
