You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude
As you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
So, you're mistaken if you're thinking
That I haven't been (1)____________ cold before

The indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to (7)__________ or gaps to claw
And your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had (8)____________ "Crying lightning"
And how you liked to aggravate
The (9)________ man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting
But not half as impossible
As everyone assumes you are
"Crying lightning"

Your pastimes (10)__________________ of the strange
Twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning

Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had called "Crying"...
