My Recent Philosophy
Halloween
Words and Music by Jonathan Larson
How did we get here?
How the hell--? Pan left
Close on the steeple of the church
How did I get here?
How the hell--?
Christmas
Christmas Eve last year
How could a night so frozen be so scalding hot?
How can a morning this mild be so raw?
Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory
When single frames from one magic night forever flicker in close-up
On the 3D IMAX of my mind?
...That's poetic
...That's pathetic
Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door, and Collins choose that phone booth
Back where Angel set up his drums?
Why did Maureen's equipment break down?
Why am I the witness?
And when I capture it on film
Will it mean that it's the end and I'm alone?
