Buying online was so much easier

 

Alarming touches

Missed a good Padre game, but got the washer

VISA knows more about me than I do

Someone out there's messing with my stuff

Of lice and men and other things healthy

Philosophies run rampant on the freeways

Normally I just pay the electric bill

Life in the line turns out to be the experience of a life-time
