boffum cut the rope the phone
boffum snuck a smoke fuh home
boffum up cuz awoke the domes
boffum trust a cloak the zone
boffum fuck cuz the yolk the roam
boffum cuz a stroke the loan
boffum rub just to poke the bone
boffum love was a joke alone
boffum love was a joker wrong
boffum rub just to poke the bone
boffum cuz a stroke the loan
boffum fuck cuz the yolk the roam
boffum trust a cloak the zone
boffum up cuz awoke the domes
boffum cut the rope the phone
boffum snuck a smoke fuh home
