Somebody shut the refrigerator door
I'm nearly froze
I once ate
the ice cream
that you left
in the ice box
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
But I don't want your ice cream anymore
All the best parts are gone
I think it's time to try
another flavor
I'll stick out my tongue
and catch a new snowflake
They say every one is different
but they all tast the same to me
If there are holes in my umbrella
who's going to protect me when it rains
If I melt, does it mean I'm made of sugar
or does it mean that I'm a witch
I got a little confused
the last time it rained
and thought it was me
falling down from the sky
So I held on to nothing
as tight as I could
'cause I thought it was something
Guess I was fooled
I have a marshmallow heart
sticky and sweet
and now I'm sticking to you
Baker, Baker, tell me if truly your heart
was made of icing
I tried to touch you
but forgot my mittens
and got frostbite
I don't believe you're leaving me
just because Charles Manson and I
like the same ice cream
You know that apple green ice cream
can melt in your hands
I can't
I think I chipped my tooth
on this rocky road
I ate you up quick before you melted
and when I was done I licked the spoon
Forgive me
you were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Oh God, somebody just shut the door
and the light went out
