Run around Watchung Hills High School

I gas out early in the race and finish at ~ 20 minutes

I ran the Spring Lake 5-mile race (with Palumbo on board) in Summer 2007.
I finish in 35 minutes (7-minute mile)
I led Eric Sa in the race
(it’s right there in the name Erica)
The polka-dotted princesses who sold me out to the guards
She said she saw me walked in
I dug the sound of her voice
I’m in love with the weather…
Introduced by Gus
Served by ‘Joe’
Bottles on Steve and his Asian wifey
*The night goes on*
Let’s settle this score
Subway schlump Anthony tagged along
I didn’t run the Bob Beckert race in 2008
(my father and I had a falling-out in Easter 2008)
He said ‘all I see is rooms’
I was angry that my family took no interest in my music when I visited them for holidays. So I asked my parents to drive me to the train station to return to New York City on Easter morning.
This drove me to begin a performance circuit in the city.
Debut JoGa performance @ the 169 Bar took place on Father’s Day 2008

Paul was my ‘doubting Thomas’
Poor Paul Bowl
Poor Paul Bowl
And I never heard from Paul Bowl again
John’s all grown up
Paul Bowl was a ‘middle office muskrat’ at JPMorgan
(always older than they appear)
He was a Brooklyn native who roamed ’round the East Village
completed an Ironman
(now my mother employs the services of a running coach)
TC n’ Tony
The empty nesters
If she became pregnant, she’d shake uncontrollably
Without her pill, she’ll become quite ill
There’ll be no more of TC n’ Tony
Alf n’ Laurie
Dead cells were his specialty
He cut the hair
Ridder’s no quitter
Hey Hey Hey Uncle Charlie knows
Took his wedding vows on tippytoes
(left his children with a massive debt and)
(hey i heard that they’re closing down the factories)
