Dandelion Emezie Okorafor

Look what the cat dragged in
A silent cycle of sin
Coming from parts unknown

Walking this path alone
Look what the cat dragged in
He got that wonderin' blood
Flows from a smokin heart
You got a fire deep inside
And when the pretty lillies get close
They'll find they
Don't even notice the burn
Can I be-e-e-e-e
As cool as he is
Well probably not
It's oka-a-a-a-ay
Tell me what's the key
To being so free
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
I probably should
I probably won't
Just riding the breeze
To wherever it brings me
Without even tryin'
Like a dandelion
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
I probably should
I probably won't
A beautiful flower
Sippin' on solar power
But I'm tough like a weed
So don't tangle with me
This life is so mundane
(You said)
And playing fair is a pain
So until it drives me insane
I think I'm gonna live this lifetime again
Inventing sins with no name
Can I be-e-e-e-e
As cool as he his
Well probably not
Because the key-e-e-e-ey
To bein' free
Is what he told me
(He said)
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
I probably should
I probably won't
Just takin' it easy
Ridin' the breezy
Spreadin' my seeds
Just livin' so free
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
I probably should
I probably won't
A beautiful fellow
With muscular petals
Sippin' off sunbeams
Livin' off day dreams
I wish I could be
As cool as he is
I just don't see it
I just don't see it
So I'll have to make do
Live vicarious through you
Sad but true
So just do what you do so well
End
