and now she knows she'll never be afraid
after a discussion about the saw as a musical instrument, i made a copy of "the aeroplane over the sea" for tom because i couldn't believe he'd never heard it. and upon listening to it again i discovered that i'd always overlooked this song, and now i can't stop listening to it:
ghost, ghost i know you live within me
feel as you fly
in thunderclouds above the city
into one that i
loved with all that was left within me
until we tore in two
now wings and rings and there's so many
waiting here for you
and she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929
with wings that ring around a socket
right between her spine
all drenched in milk and holy water
pouring from the sky
i know that she will live for ever
she won't ever die
she goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid
to watch the morning paper blow
into a hole where no one can escape
and one day in new york city baby
a girl fell from the sky
from the top of a burning apartment building
fourteen stories high
and when her spirit left her body
how it split the sun
i know that she will live for ever
all goes on and on and on and
she goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid
to watch the morning paper blow
into a hole where no one can escape
...today i collected checks totaling $2300 from people who'd made it their mission not to pay me.
and then chloe and i made dinner and mya and noah came over from next door, and we had cheap champagne and peanut butter noodles and delicious homemade brownies with coconut sorbet for desert. and now i'm in my room burning nag champa because mya and i shared my first cigarette in more than two weeks (the perks of getting the flu, i guess, i've kinda quit) out my window.
i leave town to go to vegas for christmas a week from tomorrow.
i have to kep reminding myself
but i'm getting used to the idea.
