• And they say
  She's in the class A Team
  Stuck in her daydream
  Been that way since eighteen, but lately,
  Her face seems
  Slowly sinking, wasting
  Crumbling like pastries
  And they scream
  The worst things in life come free to us
  Cos we're just under the upperhand
  Go mad for a couple grams
  And she don't want to go outside tonight
  And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
  Or sells love to another man
  It's too cold outside
  For angels to fly
  Angels to fly

• What I like about cooking is that, so long as you follow the recipe exactly, everything always turns out perfect. It’s too bad there’s no recipe for happiness. Happiness is more like pastry—which is to say that you can take pains to keep cool and not overwork the dough, but if you don’t have that certain light touch, your best efforts still fall flat. The work-around is to buy what you need. I’m talking about pastry, not happiness, although money does make things easier all around.
