Catch a caterpillar box a butterfly not a care in this world watching cloud's roll by, take the hand of a stranger find a lover and a friend take more than that and it's a sin ,because nothing is sacred everything is for sale love is for suckers and sinners burn in hell, your damned if you do damned if you don't Lucky to be alive but just don't show it.
