I take a pad and pencil and write down unusual things I see,

Excuse me, do you have a pencil?

I said if they couldn't give me anything else to give me an electric pencil sharpener.

Books about books is like it's gotta be rock 'n' roll music if you wanna dance with me.

Why can't I be different and unusual... like everyone else?

Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.
