Absent Minded

How to pick someone up at the public library who is wearing headphones to save their life

Hey baby i'm thinking,
but i cant say that
what are you reading?
How boring is that.....?
Hey stud! you single?
Want to study over here with me?
oh wow what nice glasses you have!...

Darn it. this would be soo much easier at the check out.
Is that a good book?
really wow, what s it about?
nice shirt by the way!
I could sit close to the exit and nonchalantly leave when i think you are

Do you know what time it is?
thanks.....shiznit!
thats soo hard
Do you have a dollar, a quarter, a nickel?
do you have a smoke?
aha...
you smoke weed?
conversational piece, compliment?
Hold his or her interest?
without seeming geeky...
under all that pressure?....
HAHAHAHAHA

smile and nod,
its not impossible
but it's hard
okay okay,
i'd like to take you for coffee
I'd like for you to take this survrey
and then out for coffee...
to meet a bunch of people who feel sorry for you
i know who feel sorry for you too
Here's my nimber
don't leave me here.....
gimme a call!
we'll go for coffee

Hi, can I ta;lk to you
just for a second
i was having a bet with a friend of mine
over there
with the binoculars across the street
and you could help settle it
if i dont get you and me to safety were in shiznit

Sneak in an are you shy?
if this fails and the headphones go back on
the game begins
the bumping
the blocking
the tapping
the mugging


Loo at me
rerad my lips
im waving
im winking
im smiling
just tryoing to save your life

god help us all
gimme some time
ill figure it out
how much time do i have?

five minutes?

game on
okay go!
