I agree with a lot of this user's ideas, but this is how I would do it:
"Of all my stoned digressions
Some have mutated into the truth
Not a spoof
You are the born expression of all your parents' flaws
Which you parsed
There's no Oz
Can't be what you oughta be
Gotta be what you wanna be
Take it with pride and
Like a dragonfly
Dragonfly wants a piece of pie
Be he is so strung out
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home (x4)
Cursed to being named after jazz songs
Highschool principle
Show and tell
Preach and yell
Ghostly Iraqi and starship
Ghostly ???? van Gogh
No more signs
No more lines
Can't be what you wanna be
Gotta be what you oughta be
Take it with pride and
Like a dragonfly
Dragonfly wants a piece of pie
But he is so strung out
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home (x4)"
The one thing I'm not sure about is the "ghostly ???? van Gogh". Doesn't sound like any word I've ever heard. At first I thought I heard "I, Tina" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Tina)
