Homeless Guys

     This parody was written with help a friend of mine named Amanda; her dad started singing Owl City's "Fireflies" wrongly, and she thought it was funny enough to post on Facebook. I commented on her post, and she dared me to finish the new song. So, here's what happened.

Verse One -
You would not believe your eyes if ten million homeless guys
Appeared and showed you how to live
What would you learn from the things they'd tell
Of the things they didn't do well?
How could that apply to you
And the circumstances where you're stuck like glue?...

Chorus One -
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
But that I could not say
Cause it would not be true
And being so it's sort of, kind of like a lie....

Verse Two -
You would not believe your ears
If the guy selling beers
At the baseball game had good advice
Yes, that's pictures is kind of weird
So you don't notice a mustard smear
In your  hair behind your left ear
While thinking over his words once or twice...

Chorus Two -
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
But that would be a lie
And it would not be true
And girls just don't like that in a guy...

Bridge -
Our lives are like a track
(Please, won't you get here soon?)
They go straight, then out of whack
(Please, won't you get here soon?)
Whether it's raining, snow or sleet
(Please, won't you get here soon?)
I'll be so glad when our paths meet...

Verse Three -
To all those homeless guys:
Sorry, but I had to say goodbye
Because I had to leave and go find you
But hey, I'll know where my friends are
If things ever go real bizarre
They'll be a short ride away in my car...

Chorus One
Chorus Two
Chorus Three -
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
But after all, I can't say that
Cause it would not be true
And I don't want to have to lie to you...
