Honeyman 03:32
yeah the bees should do the work a million miles from Earth flown a million miles to taste your honey face I have been the honeyman with the whiskers and the tan (and the smoker in the can!) and I drive a honey van as the Tesco flies if you're looking in the aisles feel the burning at your side it's the buzz you city wide I have been the honeyman... fantasy freak I will give you just a week be pretty, be careful, but never drag your feet just get there in the thick of time with the laser lights and the sticky crime too much litter make you blind there's too much garbage in your mind I have been the honeyman... leave a lizard or a pound but beware the giant... he's sleeping sound
