Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

Any day you like. Do not use past tense. If you want to talk about something in the past, start with "I (will) tell you a story..."
They do have a word for will, maybe just "I now speak story."
