 my posture?s kinda good    from my knees     to my feet


*(same as before with these verses)

2- And if I cut my hair    most people they won't stare
   But if people don't stare,     who will care, who will care

3- I got me a tatto,       it makes me feel so tough
   Someone would fight me please God I need to be touched

4- The closest that I get  to ever feel your kiss
   I get to take a drag  off a used cigarette

*(silence)

        Sometimes I think I'm better off dead
        But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head
        If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air
        Why kiss the air?
        (Cause it's the air you breathe)

Here guitar seems to play artificial harmonics all the time(dunno how,
maybe a pedal effect)so I will save the AH. over every note.
