The Creator

I guess it must be true, I saw it in the newspaper
The karate instructor weighed well over three hundred pounds
He took one of his students, drove him off and showed him how to kick like he means it
He did it on a whim nobody has heard from him since

He made it up as he went along and now he’s gone
He made it up as he went along and now he’s gone

She packed everything up and headed south on I-25
She leave it all behind looking for a new labor force
Thumbing her nose at the monk with the hose watering his garden in winter
“Nothing will grow like that!” She shouted driving by in her car

She made it up as she went along and now he’s gone
She made it up as she went along and now he’s gone
And when she sings the company song she gets the chorus wrong
With everybody singing along
Cuz it’s a sing-along

An invisible man who showed everyone how to proceed
He got us to this point, died and left no one at the wheel

He made it up as he went along and now he’s gone
He made it up as he went along and now he’s gone
Now who’s gonna tell us right from wrong
And left from right
He made it up as He went along
And now He’s outa sight

Later, there were 2 nervous system glitches and at least 2 ecstatic dot connecting sessions. Finally, a Need… to sing. ... more
