Hell of a Time

I escaped my head
I let loose
I went to bed
Without clutching a noose

Of thoughts and memories
Without my worst enemy
I got to be me again
And for this I thank my friends

Life's looking good
I'm smiling widely
Just as I should
I'm acting kindly

I can say the things
That would normally wring
Myself in my mind
Or something of that kind

Smile with me
The kid with class
But no dignity
It can kiss my ass

I just want to have fun
Be a dork before I'm done
Have some friends along for the ride
'Cause we're gonna have one hell of a time
