hahahahahahahahhahahhahaha

people are funny.

so is selective hearing. oh man

i am just having waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much fun here.

hmmmm. any other points of interest? not particularly. ooh this song is fucking good. i guess if everyone has "their own song" then this one is mine.

Every day I sit down at the waterfront and watch the girls with office jobs walk by
And every night it seems that romance is just staring at the shadows and trying not to cry
Once a week the doctor gives me motor oil for the hangovers I've earned
And twice I year I play organ at the service for the foothills I have burned
It makes me sad
It makes me want to die
And I've never felt more alive

I live in the part of town where they still have monuments to R. Kelly and the Catholic priests
And as for me, I'll feel safer walking in the park at night until their souls have been released
They don't change the billboards where hordes of whores whistle at the piers
And I read in Newsweek that our children's children will live for two hundred warless years
It makes me sad
It makes me want to die
And I've never felt more alive

Nowadays it seems that people say 'I love you' when they don't like you anymore
And if you're hiking up Vesuvius with a bottle of malt liquor then you've heard those words before
But the nalgenes of gasoline can't wash away the dried clay of the fade
And the secrets of the ancients can't bring you back the love that you once made
It makes me sad
It makes me want to die
And I've never felt more alive

When the rescue crews have shuffled through the rubble I'll be living in this hovel by myself
In the week after the earthquake I found your address where it had slipped behind the shelf
On it you wrote 'a part of me fell in love' and I wonder if that's true
And since I spend these sinking days unthinking, I'll smile at the ceiling and think of you
It makes me glad
It makes me scared to die
And it's good to be alive
