(no subject)
Home is surprisingly bearable, and somewhat good.
Mom and I watched all of Firefly and Serenity in two days. Whoa.
Life has been endless rounds of cheesecake and la familia and drinks every other day.
There is another hole in my ear. More will follow, but they require thought.
The brain is beginning to heal in stasis.
Let me get back to you when I can figure out what's going on.
1. You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore
2. Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life I was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on I'll be careful what I share
3. So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind
4. I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
And fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow
And watched the world turn day-glo
5. For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbors too
There'll be nobody left behind to grieve
6. I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
7. When Pete was only in the seventh grade, he stabbed a cop
He's real R.A. material and he was glad to swap
His switchblade and his old zip gun
For a bayonet and a new M-1
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier
8. It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
9. A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
10. So every day I thank the stars that I have you to dance,
and that you were meant for me and me for you.
A storm, a creek, I give you all the love I have and more.
And if I could wish to be, forever anything, I'd be forever yours.
(These lyrics might not be entirely accurate -- I couldn't find anything online to confirm them, and the song is very instrumental.)
11. Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade
12. His restless eyes leap and snatch,
At all that they can touch or catch,
And hidden deep within his pocket,
Safe within its silent socket,
He holds a coloured crayon.
13. Tie yourself to the mast my friend,
And the storm will end.
One day maybe you will love again
14. "This man's just got to go," declared his enemies
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us," they kept demanding
And he really came...
15. You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
16. No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad.
17. Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so
18. give me a vertical
your horizontal line
I want to take each of them
bend them to divine
19. How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
20. One way out is all you're ever gonna get
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
'Cause they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed
21. Through childlike ways rebellion and crime,
To reach this point and retreat back again.
The broken hearts,
All the wheels that have turned,
The memories scarred and the vision is blurred.
22. And it’s one, two, three
I send you and owl and
No one ever writes back
You’re keeping secrets from me
Secrets from your friend
23. There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
24. You got me writing lyrics on postcards
Then in the evening looking at the stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars
Then what has happened to love
25. We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street...
26. His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
27. She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
28. Por los das que me quedan
y las noches que an no llegan, yo
a Dios le pido
29. Praying for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still awaiting I.
30. Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and there is no such thing as time
31. I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
32. A silver-studded rim that glistens
and an ankle-star that...blinds me
a lemon sole so very high
33. I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
34. The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
35. Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
36. And time is on your side, it's on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
No, It's no cause for concern
37. Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
38. I need an easy friend
I do, With an ear to lend
I do, Think you fit this shoe
I do, Won't you have a clue
39. You won't admit you love me,
and so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
perhaps, perhaps, quizas.
40. Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
