As someone who is also still mourning the loss of Mike, please refrain from using this bot’s tweets as your way to vent or commemorate him, I planned to make this bot before his passing and I don’t want to feel like that’s the reason this exists and it’s triggering for me -

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

And I ain't sayin' you ain't pretty
All I'm saying's I'm not ready for any person
Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

I knew the horse that I was running at the Southern Talladega
Had won for the twenty-second time

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

When she left, something inside of me died

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Rapture secretly turns to sleep
Tantalizing those who are weak

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Dreams unloosening the hidden smile
He’s been saving up for years

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

She was two inches shorter than me without my boots
Got my attention, but she never made a move
She came and she went, she let me down slow
And I wanted to go with her, but somethin’ told me no

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Me and my calico girlfriend
Starting a set of new rules

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Downward drops the ridiculing eye so blind

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night?

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Outside, the winds beat unmercifully hard
Fear creeps like sand through the cracks
But inside, the stillness is consciously formed
As false goals and egos relax

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

So I bid her, 'Do come in,
And I’ll open up a tin
If you’ll tell me ’bout your trip around the world'

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

After moments we shared and the souls that we bared
I've never loved anyone more

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Well now that all happened back in 1961
And I never went back to work
And then in 1964 I started living
Off the land

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

And this humble plans just don’t seem
To inspire me to heights
As they did or as seeing you
Or as touching you might

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Stars are in the sky
And that the prayers were said
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so
But I found myself a-thinkin’ when the time had come to go

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

Sometimes you think, 'I’ll wait', but
He who hesitates is lost
This is not just a game

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

See those rays
Shining down upon the darkened page
See those rays
Shining out from each successive stage

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

The echoes of the anguished are enraging
To intellects who stare at baseless woe

[Mike Nesmith Lyric Bot! @nesmithlyricbot]

I feel like it’s my first time, I'm
Moving closer to clearer skies
