  really is an amazing song....would be awesome to find out where it actually came from....consensus is from japanese lost dogs promo or something, although i read somewhere that it isnt??? another great mystery surrounding the band...i'd be interested to know if they ever got around to adding proper lyrics to anything in between....?

  One of the most moving PJ songs...really hits home. A break up with the girl he loves. Comtemplated suicide. Everything reminds him of her. He imagines he'll be spending his time in bars, possibly drunk...attention wanders. Sees himself dead...He's just waiting for his death to come. Her leaving was it. The end. There's no happy ending to his life.

  Remember in 2006 when they were playing Dirty Frank at the Gorge, and Eddie referred to it as a shitty song, which would explain why they didn't play it much. Maybe this is considered an ultra-shitty song, eh?

  I never thought of this as a "song". Is this possibly autobiographical of events in Ed's life, or is this just fictional story telling? I never really knew, but it hits an emotional spot that many can probably relate to. Something personal that I assumed was never meant to exist beyond a studio tape of a late nite musing.

  I wouldn't think that Ed would consider this a shi*77^y song..maybe just way too personal to be "singing" at a show?
  
  It is a wonderfully moving, raw, vulnerable and one more example of the genius of this man. The genius lies in the talent he has that enables him to put into words the thoughts and wants and fears that we all have but are so difficult to express.
  
  

  peace,
