ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN

[tehpuck]

You can go out, dancing
And I'll write about you, dancing without you
And I'll shed a tear between my legs

When you were here, I missed you
Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs

...Right. Yes, so, if any fuzzy little thing living under a rock didn't yet know, it seems to indeed be some new curse. Lovely

You have at least saved me asking whether you were affected. I-

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me
Oh my baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me.

can now turn my computer off with impunity.

[tehpuck]

I'd say you make a perfect
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes to far
Don't you know that I-

Hm. Anything for your peace of mind.

[ishiah]

Call it morbid curiosity. I haven't heard y-

You're a city that's pulling me still,
You keep me from sleeping and strengthen my will,
The gates they are strong but they open for song I
have heard.

you sing since they last held festivals to Dionysus. Sober, longer still.

[tehpuck]

I rarely find need to grace the public with my voice. You, on the other hand, you-

You'll say, don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems,
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high.
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie.

...You should get cursed like this more often.

[ishiah]

I will keep the bank from calling
I will keep those bastards from you
I will keep your smile from falling
this time the casualties were few
'cause we kept the bastards brawling
we kept our hearts from view.

I don't sing, Robin.

[tehpuck]

Got a foot in the door
God knows what for
and he'll cut me down to size
stupidity tries
everything here is free
everything but you and me
this painting never dries
stupidity tries

And what is that? Spirited mumbling?

[ishiah]

An unasked for affliction.

Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room.
Half illuminate a face before they disappear.
You breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling.
I breathe out smoke against the window, trace the letters in your name.
Our letters sound the same;
full of all our changing that isn't change at all.
All straight lines circle sometime.

[tehpuck]

I have no complaints about it. Think of it as a gift, I'm staring to.

I'm sorry, two words
I always think after you're gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong
So selfish, two words that could describe
Old actions of mine

[ishiah]

You said "Somewhere there's a box full of replacement parts
to all the tenderness we've broken or let rust away.
Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving.
Somewhere someone says 'I'm sorry.'
Someone's making plans to stay.

Hm.

[tehpuck]

What is that supposed to mean?

I abdicated, now I'm just a prince without a land
My subjects all adore me but for this I had them banned
Now could I trade my guilt for a good flogging by your hand?
And hey I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand
I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand?

[ishiah]

If you wanna try, if you wanna try,
There's no worse you could do,
I know you lie, I know you lie,
I'm still in-

It means I have work to do.

[tehpuck]

Oh, help me, but don't tell me
To deny it.
I've got to cleanse myself.
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for him.
I've got a lot to lose and im
Betting high
So I'm beggin you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin.

You always have work to do.
