I drove an ambulance out to an island last night
(don't ask me how I got there, you wouldn't believe me anyway)
and I realized too late that I forgot those shock paddle thingys
and therefore, I wasn't going to be able to bring anything back to life.

So instead, I took out my camera and started taking pictures of the natives.
None of them smiled at me, though
and all of them assumed I was doing this for free.
But little did they know that I would be charging $19.99 per photo
so they could hang them up on their grass hut walls
to show off to their out of town relatives
that the little Mexicali girl was really there.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

I never made any promises anyway.
I never agreed to this state of mind
Or this state of being.
It was placed upon me like the hands of some god
or maybe it was that Jesus dude-
And then it was just suddenly there.

No one explained it to me.
My state of mind went from that to this
in a matter of seconds
And now I have to drive around the world
in a rusted out emergency vehicle,
taking photos of the sights
and over-charging for the prints,
Because if I didn't charge so much, I would never have enough money for the
Band-Aids, the Skittles,
or the guitar picks.
