the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

    great stuff...the hold steady name drop john berryman in the song "stuck between stations":
    "the devil and john berryman took a walk together
    and they ended up in washington, talking to the river
    he said "i surrounded myself with doctors and deep thinkers,
    but big heads and soft bodies make for lousy lovers."
    there was that night that we thought john berryman could fly
    but he didn't, so he died.
    she said "you're pretty good with words, but words won't save your life"
    and they didn't so he died.
