    You pull up at the function and you know I Kojak
    To all the party people that are on my Bozac
    I've got more action than my man, John Woo
    And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Carew (yeah)

    I'd be crazy not to follow
    Follow where you lead
    Your eyes
    They turn me

    Turn me into phantoms
    I follow to the edge
    Of the earth
    And fall off

    Yeah, everybody leaves
    If they get the chance
    And this...
    is my chance

    This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality..
    Embrace this moment.. Remember.. We are eternal..
    All this pain is an illusion..

    Reality is sharp
    It cuts at me like a knife
    Everyone I know
    Is in the fight of their life..

    Take your face out of your hands
    And clear your eyes
    You have a right to your dream
    And don't be denied..

    Does anyone really need a billion dollar rocket
    does anyone need a 60,000 dollars car
    Does anyone need another president
    or the sins of Swaggart parts 6, 7, 8 and 9, ah
    Does anyone need yet another politician
    caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole
    Does anyone need another racist preacher
    spittin' in the wind can only do you harm, ooohhh....


    Strawman.....Lou Reed

    Peace
    *We CAN bomb the World to pieces, but we CAN'T bomb it into PEACE*...Michael Franti

    *MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
    .....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti

    *The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)

    Heard this song yesterday for the first time in ages. Surrender by Cheap Trick is one of those songs that I forget about until I'm driving and it comes on the radio and I keep upping the volume till it's maxed. My favorite verse.....


    Whatever happened to all last season's
    Losers of the year?
    Every time I got to thinking
    Where'd they disappear?
    But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
    Are rolling on the couch
    Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
    Got my KISS records out

    Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
    They just seem a little weird
    Surrender, surrender
    But don't give yourself away
    Away, Away!

    I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl, who's still around the morning after. We broke up a month ago, and I grew up - but didn't know I'd be around the morning after.

    Say yes by Elliot Smith.

    love most everything he wrote

    Heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listening. Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing. Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter.

    way to many quotes from the greatest writer of all time imho

    Greenday - Time of your life
    Another turning point
    A fork stuck in the road
    Time grabs you by the wrist
    Directs you where to go

    So make the best of this test
    And don't ask why
    It's not a question
    But a lesson learned in time

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life

    So take the photographs
    And still frames in your mind
    Hang it on a shelf
    In good health and good time

    Tattoos of memories
    And dead skin on trial
    For what it's worth
    It was worth all the while

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life

    "Sirens"

    Hear the sirens.
    Hear the sirens.

    Hear the sirens,
    Hear the circus so profound.
    I hear the sirens
    More and more in this here town

    Let me catch my breath to breathe
    And reach across the bed
    Just to know we're safe
    I am a grateful man

    The slightest bit of light
    And I can see you clear
    Oh, have to take your hand
    And feel your breath for fear this someday will be over

    I pull you close, so much to lose knowing that nothing lasts forever
    I didn't care before you were here.
    I danced in laughter with the everafter
    But all things change
    Let this remain

    Hear the sirens
    Covering distance in the night.
    The sound echoing closer.
    Will they come for me next time?

    For every choice, mistake I've made, it's not my plan
    To send you in the arms of another man
    And if you choose to stay I'll wait, I'll understand

    Oh, it's a fragile thing
    This life we lead
    If I think too much I can get overwhelmed by the grace
    By which we live our lives with death over our shoulders

    Want you to know that should I go
    I always loved you, held you high above, true.
    I study your face, and the fear goes away.

    It's a fragile thing, this life we lead.
    If I think too much I can get overwhelmed by the grace
    By which we live our lives with death over our shoulder

    Want you to know that should I go,
    I always loved you, held you high above, true.
    I study your face, and the fear goes away,
    The fear goes away,
    The fear goes away,
    The fear goes away.

    Ah-ah, oh-oh
    Ah-ah, oh-oh

    I took the money
    I spiked your drink
    You miss too much these days if you stop to think
    You led me on with those innocent eyes
    You know I love the element of surprise
    In the garden I was playing the tart
    I kissed your lips and broke your heart
    You... you were acting like it was
    The end of the world

    I've got no religion
    My life was entrusted to you
    Now you have forsaken me
    I just don't know what to do
    Love, leave me alone

    Sure could use a vacation from this bullshit,
    Three ring circus sideshow of freaks
    Here in this hopeless fucking hole they call LA
    The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
    Any fucking time
    Any fucking day
    Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona bay.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

  • under the lights where we stand tall
    nobody touches us at all
    showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
    we're gonna take whats our to have
    spread the word throughout the land
    they say bad guys wear black
    we're tagged and cant turn back
    you see us comin and you all together run for cover
    we're taking over this town..

    I thought you beat the death of inevitability to death just a little bit
    I thought you beat the inevitability of death to death just a little bit
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Can you cough it up loud and strong
    The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long
    It could be anywhere
    Most likely could be any frontier
    Any hemisphere
    No man's land
    There ain't no asylum here
    King Solomon he never lived 'round here..

  • Approach Anxiety
    Face fear repeatedly
    Break ground mentally

    There's hope for an ending

    What's your baby gotta gotta say???
    You can't talk to her cause you're afraid
    What a crazy notion that's insane
    Would you go to kiss her? No you ain't
    Cause you're a little wussy, that's a shame
    Time will run out on you and you'll stay
    Avoiding states of fear every day
    Nothing done again

    She unfurls

    You say the magic's gone
    Well I'm not a magician
    You say the spark's gone
    Well get an electrician
    And save your line about needing to be free
    Ah, that's bullshit babe
    You just won't let it be..

    You want freedom without love
    And magic without love
    Magic without love
    Yeah..

    Here we're safe
    Better things will surely come our way
    Hear me say
    Better things will surely come our way..
