i want a word with the manager

Memo to Alex Rossi: Don't leave your baked goods unattended!

Otherwise the Edible Fairy will take them away.

Tupperware with them on the window sill with care, uncontested,

Shit so strong, it knocked me out for a day.

Otherwise the Edible Fairy will take them away,

In other words, I'll eat the whole thing without warning.

Shit so strong it knocked me out for a day,

This backstory will make its consumers more appealing.

In other words, I'll eat the whole thing without warning,

Also, my brain will turn inside out thinking at the speed of light 

This backstory will make its consumers more appealing,

The Friday Night Lights I saw flew me higher than a kite.

Also, my brain will turn inside out at the speed of light,

Common sense and reality become human elements depleted.

The Friday Night Lights I saw flew me higher than a kite,

Memo to Alex Rossi: Don't leave your baked goods unattended!
