On Brevity

Sometimes I wanna take it from a little to a lot
 and I am spinning in a circle like a dizzy little top
 and I am calling all the people I'd forgotten about
 and trying to tell them that I figured it out,
 but it's a lie and all the stupid things
 I say and do and never really stop when
 I should never have begun,
 I really oughtta drop it
 but it's faster when you don't even have time to stop and think
 about the things that you are saying cuz they really never matter
 but it's Empty spaces in the air,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 oh no, oh no
 All the million little empty spaces in the air,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 oh no, oh no, oh no
 But I...
 never was a fighter and I never was a poet
 and I never was a writer though you'd never really know it
 cuz I'm full of all the knowledge that you needed to know
 and I will share it if you're ready or not,
 because I know I heard
 that Jami was a Wicked fan and Timmy's dropping out
 and all the other little things that I was thinking about,
 like how mosquitoes have malaria and dogs have lice,
 I could go on for half an hour cuz I hate to leave a million little
 Empty spaces in the air,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 oh no, oh no
 All the million little empty spaces in the air,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 oh no, oh no, oh no, oh
 Economy of speech is not a virtue, it's a sin
 because I never want to tell you once
 what I could say again and again and again...
 I know you wanna tell me what you think of what I'm say,
 I promise you that I will give you time later to weigh in,
 to weigh in if you want to
 But I forgot to tell you,
 I was heading out to take my puppy for a walk
 but then the strangest little thing came out and ran across the sidewalk,
 it might have been a squirrel or a chipmunk or a prairie dog
 but something 'bout the tail wasn't right,
 but that's another story...
 everyone just stopped and stared with blank expressions motionless
 and for a second everything was silent and commotionless...
 I turned I said to Fluffy, that's a cute little sciuridae and then it went scampering off,
 but that was better than the
 Empty spaces in the air,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 oh no, oh no
 All the million little empty spaces in the air,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 fill it up,
 oh no, oh no...
 fill it up, fill it up, fill it up...
