One of my favorite extreme selfies. It's like me looking in from my own head.
She sits and pretends she's a princess,
And her Daddy-O says so,
Looking through the bottom of an old coke bottle
Her world is amber colored.
You might find this strange little girl
then you might find the deep Michigan Sea
You might find her looking through a maginifying glass
burning the ants in the hot Texas sun.
This girl can't be too careful
'cause those diamonds are poisonous snakes
She hears those rattles warning
She knows what is swimming in those lakes
Those muddy waters are only lurking
those gar-fish will needle at your legs
and they ain't worth catching
but if he's big enough
just mount him on the wall.
