5IVE 1NE

Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.
And if I ever lose my hands,
Lose my plow, lose my land -
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Ooh
I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Ooh
I won't have to cry no more.

Yes
I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Ooh
I won't have to walk no more.

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Ooh
I won't have to talk no more.

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me and are you gonna stay the night?

I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.

Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.

Moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow.

Today, is the day. Another one in the record books.

Now, today is also very special in another way with many "firsts":

I never had a breakfast burrito from Whole Foods in Fresno on Palm and Shaw on my birthday.
I never had a good hot cup of coffee from Whole Foods on my birthday.
I never saw the sunrise on my birthday while driving to work in Fresno on my birthday.
I never carpooled with my wife on my birthday.
I never had a cup of Starbucks coffee on my birthday.
I never went to REI on my birthday (go figure!)
It never rained on my birthday.
I never got sick on my birthday.

Until now...

Especially the sick part. Got it from my mother-in-law. Got the sniffles on Monday. My nose runs better than I do. At work, nonstop. Every five minutes I grab a tissue.

So far, no one else in the family has gotten it from me that I know of.

Life goes on.

Oh, well...

If I ever lose my nose
Not my hands, eyes, mouth, legs (plus toes)
Yes, if I ever lose my nose.
Ooh.
I won't have to sneeze sniffle wheeze no more.

Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow...
Moon shadow.
Moon shadow.
