Eddie Vedder is a genius. Here are his lyrics to Pearl Jam's song Wish List:
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...
/riˈdik yə ləs/: arousing or deserving ridicule : extremely silly or unreasonable : absurd, preposterous

Song Lyric of the Day
Sometimes when I wake up I have a song going through my head. This morning some lyrics were playing on repeat:
"O hound of heaven hear my cry
Remorse for things that I have justified
My life a book whose pages are well read
Of actions good and evil
And thoughts inside my head"
Consequence by Circle of Dust
When I woke up, I couldn't remember all the right words or even the band. But I managed to find the lyrics and the band. Google is an amazing thing; what did we ever do without it? You can hear the song here.
