Dan the Piano Man was joking about being in my basement (he was not) and then suddenly spurted out the idea of writing a song about peeing in bushes. I simply bushed it off (get it) as a simple joke at the time. What I didn't know was what was to come.
July 25th, 2023, almost exactly a year later
Tossing, turning in my bed, I begin to scroll through old messages on Discord. Haha, remember when we did that? Hehehe, I remember that funny remark. Hohohoooo-wait just one gosh darn second.
As my eyes meet Dan's message from almost exactly a year ago, I know what must be done.
So I sit down at piano... and I start to play.
The words just flow out of me like the everflowing river. I can't stop it. I can't help it! It seemed that as soon as I began the song, it was over. I was finally satisfied.
lyrics
I look around outside
And I see the beautiful blue sky
The foliage is mystical
It's so beautiful I could cry
The leaves on the trees
Much more beautiful than me
It sickens me how touching they can be
But my bladders filling up
Much faster than I'd thought
And oh no
Oh no I gotta pee
No bathrooms around
Oh I can't make a sound
Oh it's a neighborhood
I can't be too loud
The foliage, it turns
Into a different world
A world of yellow liquid
And I cannot hold it in
A bush is the perfect bathroom
It's a fact you cannot deny
A world of piss I could make
If only I could fly
Sometimes the world is in a different color to me
And everything I see has a different possibility
Now you might think
That a bush has a purpose
And that is to be a display
But I imagine a world
Where someones front yard
Could be another place to peeee
A bush is the perfect bathroom
It's a fact you cannot deny
A world of piss I could make
If only I could fly
A bush is the perfect bathroom
It's a fact you cannot deny
A world of piss I could make
If only I could fly
