i hope you get ugly then die
Ryder Collins
i hope you get babies then die
i hope you get glass ceilinged then die
i hope you ramen noodles then die
i hope you get garrisoned & then die
i hope you get shabby chic then die
i hope you get fat & then skinny & then fat again
cos that just sucks to be not hot/hot/so not hot
again i hope you get uglier even
i hope you get molehairs then die
i hope you toe jam then die
i hope you get marmaladed
i hope you paddington bear
i hope you get baahed
i hope you barbarian
i hope you get tartarused
i hope you
i’ll never help you
i’ll be those grapes just out of reach & i will singsong
heard it through the grapevine all day & night & day long
i’ll be that rock you’re chained to & i’ll roll all
sweet down that hill, yo
i will eaglepeck your organ specks
after i steal your fire i hope
you get ugly & die
