Ozymandias has vast trunkless legs
I bet his favourite breakfast is fried eggs

Ozymandias has vast trunkless legs
I bet his favourite breakfast is fried eggs

Ooooh I get the shivers

Desree: Life
All of it, but special mention to
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
