' I am the magicians girl who does not flinch.'

I want a world where people care less about game systems, overly priced celebrity weddings, and alleged ex-murderers' sick biographies...

A man walks out of his apartment, It is raining, he's got no umbrella He starts running beneath the awnings, Trying to save his suit, Trying to save his suit. Trying to dry, and to dry, and to dry but no good When he gets to the crowded subway platform, He takes off both of his shoes He steps right into somebody's fat loogie And everyone who sees him says, "Ew." Everyone who sees him says, "Ew." But he doesn't care, 'Cause last night he got a visit from the Ghost of Corporate Future The ghost said, "Take off both your shoes Whatever chances you get Especially when they're wet." He also said, "Imagine you go away On a business trip one day And when you come back home, Your children have grown And you never made your wife moan, Your children have grown And you never made your wife moan." "And people make you nervous You'd think the world is ending, And everybody's features have somehow started blending And everything is plastic, And everyone's sarcastic, And all your food is frozen, It needs to be defrosted." "You'd think the world was ending, You'd think the world was ending, You'd think the world was ending right now. You'd think the world was ending, You'd think the world was ending, You'd think the world was ending right now." "Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee, And never ever watch the ten o'clock news, Maybe you should kiss someone nice, Or lick a rock, Or both." "Maybe you should cut your own hair 'Cause that can be so funny It doesn't cost any money And it always grows back Hair grows even after you're dead" "And people are just people, They shouldn't make you nervous. The world is everlasting, It's coming and it's going. If you don't toss your plastic, The streets won't be so plastic. And if you kiss somebody, Then both of you'll get practice." "The world is everlasting Put dirtballs in your pocket, Put dirtballs in your pocket, And take off both your shoes. 'Cause people are just people, People are just people, People are just people like you. People are just people, People are just people, People are just people like you." The world is everlasting It's coming and it's going The world is everlasting It's coming and it's going It's coming and it's going

They made a statue of us And it put it on a mountain top Now tourists come and stare at us Blow bubbles with their gum Take photographs for fun, for fun They'll name a city after us And later say it's all our fault Then they'll give us a talking to Then they'll give us a talking to Because they've got years of experience We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages We're living in a den of thieves And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious We wear our scarves just like a noose But not 'cause we want eternal sleep And though our parts are slightly used New ones are slave labor you can keep We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages We're living in a den of thieves And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious They made a statue of us They made a statue of us The tourists come and stare at us The sculptor's marble sends regards They made a statue of us They made a statue of us Our noses have begun to rust We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages Were living in a den of thieves And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious

The holidays are coming up after all... I call for a true remembrance of the reasons for the seasons.

I <3 Ariel, by Sylvia Plath, so happy I bought it. I think I'll keep that to myself.
