Today I Am Not Turning on The Radio

from Hola, Sayulita! by Westy Reflector

about

last night it was joe frank with Karma - Part 6.
if you want to make the cupcake from the song, just know that the cupcake is not the serving suggestion pictured on the Addavanilla package. the picture looks like a cupcake but it's actually a fire-roasted scorpion with addavanilla frosting. The cupcake, though it's no Sugar Sweet Sunshine, is amazing, but the scorpion dish, while tough to duplicate, is well worth wrestling with the Easy Bake for the protein alone.

lyrics

Today I am not turning on the radio
All the talk is right vs black and wrong vs white
I’m gonna head out into the neighborhood
I’m gonna see some friends

I’m going to try to live beyond every mistake

I am not going to fall in love today
I don’t feel like saving a tree today
I refuse to be a ritual

Jellyfish come to mind
In winter
Something about swarming wet snow
The cold of a thousand needles
Poison slowly breaking synapses
To the jellyfish, it's like a peaceful drift
Through an addavan cupcake

To write in silence is impossible
Even with the radio off
The Internet is sitting in a window
Behind the window in which I write
I don’t have a typewriter
Or enough paper to write off grid today

So I’m going to enjoy my addavan cupcake
With its rainbow sprinkle arpeggio
And <del>moist</del> chorus filling

Today I am not turning on the radio
That’s what @averagecabbage would do
I’m gonna head out into the neighborhood
I’m gonna see some friends
