A year ago today, me and my lady were takin' strolls
Beholding nature and catching the hydrangea's fragrance in our nose
Present day...we've got masks on like capers in the cold
On an audacious and bold quest for toilet paper rolls
It's like mother nature is closing shop and yellin out "last call!"
I've seen dandelions bloom through cracked cement....But i can't grow a garden on this asphalt
Mentally measuring six feet between me and anyone i come in contact with
Dodgin' everyone on the sidewalk...every cough is a sign of the apocalypse
We walk past vacant strip malls, ghosts of cars parked in the lots of haunted offices
As we journey through the hallowed corpse of what was one Metropolis
A van "SKRRRTS" to a stop beside us, men in hazmat suits snatch me n my awestruck chick
They drop us into chairs and hit us with thermometers, then swab for spit
A doctor at a makeshift table reads all the machine-fed documents
He turns with a pale face grimly saying "the test was positive...so off em quick"
Before i could even turn to plead or protest i hear the hammer cock back n pop my wig
BANG
