Cotton Candy

Cotton candy stuck in the sky like clouds
Accomplished by over two hundred people standing around
Blowing them into the air at the same time

I traveled in time, I was living on a farm with chickens
I went to my grandparents' house to check in
And they called the police
Because they didn't know who I was

At restaurant I was taking longer than everyone else to order
The waitress left before getting to me
Later she brought back a honey sandwich, that I had to pay for
I didn't want to eat it, so I ordered off the menu anyway

Someone asked me if he could borrow some Popsicle sticks
I said "We're using them for mini corn dogs," but we fixed the problem
By selling the corn dogs, and he collected what he needed from the trash

I was kidnapped by some lady with a group of my peers
We sat in circle cutting things from magazines, like eyes and ears
Eventually I decided to go out to the balcony and call the police

Falling through the air, like a blue human snowflake
Icy skin, frosty hair, I hoped I wouldn't break
A lion was living in my garden, coexisting with the rabbits
I rubbed my eye and pulled out my whole eye socket by accident

My parents became crazy and got angry at me
They dropped my laptop out a window, so I climbed into a tree
And left, to live with my Chemistry table group from sophomore year

We were at an arcade, I was with my brother and my dad
We were looking for some sort of trophy cup thing, and I can't remember why
But I remember feeling very sad

We started throwing paint balls
None of them broke
Later we looked under our car
We pulled out some paint balls and books
The girl working at a fast food joint was upset that I wasn't getting enough to eat
So she gave me a sweater from their spring collection
Pretty sweet

We decided we couldn't eat breakfast
Because we'd be late for school
But then we were reminded that it was summer
And there was no school

The school newspaper staff accidentally ate donuts that were Yearbook's
So my dad and I drove out at night to buy them more, but look
The town was being attacked by a giant rat-lizard creature

Some famous person I knew had also designed
The pink and blue flower barrettes I was wearing at the time
I dyed my hair purple and I almost dyed my face blue
Which apparently would have been a fairly normal thing to do

I was the princess of fall but I wanted to be
The princess of spring because she wasn't very good at her job
I became her friend, and we were both on TV

Live music, giraffes
I would declare I wanted to
Take over her job, but we'd become friends
So I hid my speech, and decided to tell her later when we were alone

My friend and I walked to get the mail
There were a few keys on top
She tried them in different boxes and unlocked people's mail
I didn't stop her
We both got in trouble and had to go to court the next day
We got away with it
We had each of our family members say
That one of the boxes was theirs and we were getting them all

A family was going to have a photo shoot
Instead the teenagers took a long road trip
A month-long route
They took the credit card
Eventually one wanted to go home
She was stressed about missing school

Everyone had fleas, so everyone kept asking me
Are you sure you never noticed that you had any fleas
I said no, but then I found an old video
In which I noticed a flea on my eyelid
Shh

My class was going on a field trip to space
Sadly, there would be no way to come back down
My parents decided not to let me go
But before I went home that day
I decided to look around
Lots of levels, lots of people I knew
It was dark yet colorful, with lights everywhere like a club
There were rides, and music was playing
Someone gave me pink nail polish and a little shrub

We visited a koala tree, where there were a bunch of little koala babies
It wasn't very tall or green but my youngest cousin reassured me
It'll all come back in the spring
Wearing snorkel masks, we went down a water slide
That led us the lobby of a strange hotel
I saved a raccoon and two cockroaches from our window well

I got a cupcake tattoo and it turned out pretty bad
And the frosting rubbed off
And it looked weird
And I was sad
I hopped over lots of purple fences
Funning from the people who were mad at me

I found myself at a strange party with pale colors and curvy walls
I made a movie about a whale and a shark on a water slide at the mall

I lost my Chuck E Cheese toy down the gutter
So the guy behind the counter told me to find a band teacher
Because they all have a key to the city gutters

I thought, do you know what would be a good name for a novel
Trains, rain, and a wolf on a train
Because it rhymes so well and it'll probably sell really well because it rhymes so well

I went to get a dozen donuts but they wanted me to pay for the height of the donuts
So they measured every donut and it got pretty expensive to buy a dozen donuts

I was trapped in a hospital so I stuffed a bag of chips into
A vent, which made it open from the outside so I could escape
And then I got an octopus tattoo
To symbolize escaping, and make me feel less blue

Sitting in a dark taxi on the way to an event, wearing a plum-colored dress
I was attempting to do my makeup in a small compass, I was so stressed
The guy next to me offered to help, he was a makeup artist

I said "Sure," he finished, and the car stopped
I thanked him & said
Wow, I look like another person
My jaw dropped
He said
That's because you are
