"It's time.
It's time to go
So let go of my hand I don't want you to come with.

I just wanna be
Alone, for once
So here's my hat and coat I'll be on my way."

She cried, tears were falling as he walked out the door
He turned around, glared at her then continued down the sidewalk
She shut up, there was no use in calling his name
So she watched him enter the taxi and drive off to God knows where.

When he was long gone his house burst into flames.
They recovered three bodies and a burnt casserole
From the oven, still intact; it was a curious mystery
For they thought that those lovey-dovies would never separate.

"Hello
What's your name?
Do you mind if I ask you a question or two?
Thanks.
Am I real? Do I exist?
Or am I just another figment of your wild imagination?

Like depression, what is that and why are they saying that I have it?
Oh is it whatever I wash down with a bottle of beer?
Then I can't be depressed, I like to have fun!
Hell, I've been partying for the past couple of years!
My apologies if I'm rambling, you can go now, I'm done.
And kid, always remember this piece of advice:
If you set your mind to it, you can do it guaranteed
Now have a good one
I'll be going too,
Where to? To the sun!"

And with that he spread his wings
And like the bird he thought he was
He took off and flew
Straight for the star that warmed our hearts

The sun was extinguished by the crash
The solar system was in disarray
He watched as Earth froze over
And began to complain:

"Why must it be like this?
I can never be happy.
This universe has gotta be so cold
But there is nowhere else for me to go.

“Hello, Mercury and Venus,
Mars and Jupiter!
With Saturn’s rings let’s all gather around and form one big group hug!

“Uranus is awkwardly trying to fit in
While Neptune is crying up a storm
We know that Pluto is there somewhere
And you, you’re squeezing me the tightest.”
