So what's your favorite song gone acoustic? [04 Dec 2008|12:06am]

[ music | at least Charlie Brown is on tv all the time now ]

Why, oh why you wear sunglasses in the home, when the sun went down about an hour ago? Why, oh why you wear sunglasses in the home, when the sun went down about an hour ago? Life should not be that way. Always up or down, never down and out. You dream of demons while you sleep, that make you stutter when you speak. Always up or down, never down and out. Dream of demons while you sleep, that make you stutter when you speak. Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces. Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces. Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces. Weekend warriors and our best friends. The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end. Then again somethings, then again somethings are far too good, somethings are far too good, to go when you let go. Always up or down, never down and out. Dream of demons while you sleep, they'll make you stutter when you speak. Always up or down, never down and out. Dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak. Speak now or forever hold your peace. We won't forget Tony or Johnny oh, oh. No matter how they miss us they still wish us the best on the road. Garrett took a plane to Paris, France. Now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls. Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace, Darkside, Wish, and a toast to late Figure Eight. Weekend warriors and our best friends, the writers weren't kidding but the good things will live in our hearts.

[ mood | Loving insomnia. ]

Smeared black ink; your palms are sweaty, and I'm barely listening to last demands. I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath where I am. I'll wear my badge, a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest that tells your new friends: I am a visitor here, I am not permanent, and the only thing keeping me dry is where I am. You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex. A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting, and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving. D.C. sleeps alone tonight. You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex, a stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting, and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving. The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights, and send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening, and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving...

to put the icing on my tori amos cake [24 Nov 2008|09:46pm]

Don't tell me a woman did this to you. Candy lies. Candy lies. Candy lies. You touched my hand; I felt a force. You called it dark, but now I'm not so sure. Just stay awhile. Stay awhile. Stay awhile. Why don't you stay awhile? Stay awhile. Stay awhile. Cause your wild card boy needs playing. Don't believe the lie. Your Dragon needs slaying. Won't you lay here with me, and I will bring kisses for the beast. Lay here with me. Here with me. Don't tell me a woman did this to you. Candy lies. Candy lies. Candy lies. When I look back over documents and pages, ancient savageries christened those inflated. Now it has come to light; The Gods they have slipped up. They forgot about the power of a woman's love. Just stay a while. Stay awhile. Stay awhile. Why don't you stay awhile? Stay awhile. Stay awhile.

Dear Jamie, I've got a letter I would like to send. It's lacking strings of words with punctuation at the ends but, should I trust this dialect to convey the right effect? Dear Jamie, I've got some things I'd like to set in pen. I would have used a pencil, but lead's just not permanent. Should I trust my printers ink to express the things I think? Every time I tried my best to think of something to contest with inside jokes and other folks who've got much more to say. Dear Jamie, this envelope will represent my heart. I'll seal it, send it off, and wish it luck with it's depart. This stamp will be every action that carry my affection across the air and land and sea. Should I trust the postage due to deliver my heart to you? Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest with inside jokes and other folks who've got much more to say. Every page I tried my best to fill with something to contest with inside jokes and other folks who've got much more to say. Give you all I can, flower and a hand. I hope this helps you see. Signed - sincerely, me.

Caesars in the white house stickin to his guns, turning all the lights out safe from the sun. ambition never listened to the voice of reason its truth turned treason, killing season.

i recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone, yeah. i recommend walking around naked in your living room, yeaahhh. swallow it down (what a jagged little pill), it feels so good (swimming in your stomach), wait until the dust settles.. you live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn. i recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone, i certainly do. i recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time, feel free. throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind), hold it up (to the rays), you wait and see when the smoke clears. you live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn. wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do), melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway), the fire trucks are coming up around the bend. you live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn, you grieve, you learn, you choke, you learn, you laugh, you learn, you choose, you learn, you pray, you learn, you ask, you learn, you live, you learn.

it's true i always wanted love to be hurtful, and it's true i always wanted love to be filled with pain and bruises. yes, so cripple-pig was happy, screamed "i just completely love you, and there's no rhyme or reason i'm changing like the seasons. watch, i'll even cut off my finger. it will grow back like a starfish, it will grow back like a starfish, it will grow back like a starfish." mr. muscle gazing boredly and he, checking time, did punch me and i sighed and bleeded like a windfall. happy bleedy, happy bruisey. i am very happy, so please hit me. i am very happy, so please hurt me. i am very happy, so please hit me. i am very, very happy, so come on, hurt me. i'll grow back like a starfish.

i'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again. i wish that i could stay, but you argue. more than this i wish that you could've seen my face in the backseat, staring out the window. i'll do anything for you, kill anyone for you. so leave yourself intact 'cause i will be coming back. in a phrase to cut these lips, "i love you". the morning will come in the press of every kiss, with your head upon my chest, where i will annoy you until you decide to wake up. i've learned through hope and faith all the curves around your face, that i'm the one you'll hold forever. if morning never comes for either one of us, then this i pray to you wherever. i'll do anything for you. this story is for you. 'cause i'd do anything you want me to for you. i'll do anything for you. kill anyone for you.

she don't care about my car and she don't care about my money. and that's real good 'cuz i don't got a lot to spend, but if i did it wouldn't mean nothin'. she likes me for me! not because i look like tyson beckford with the charm of robert redford oozing out my ears. and what she sees are my faults and indecisions, my insecure conditions and the tears upon the pillow that i've shed. she don't care about my big screen or my collection of dvds. things like that just never mattered much to her, plus she don't watch too much tv. and she don't care that i can fly her to places she ain't never been. but if she really wants to go, i think deep down she knows that all she has to say is when. she likes me for me! not because i hang with leonardo, or that guy who played in fargo; i think his name is "steve." she's the one for me and and i just can't live without her, my arms belong around her, and i'm so glad i found her once again. gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feelings in the dark. the things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end. she likes me for me. not because i sing like pavarotti or because i'm such a hottie. i like her for her, not because she's phat like cindy crawford; she has got so much to offer, why does she waste all her time with me? there must be something there that i don't see. she likes me for me! not because i talk like dirty harry or make her laugh just like jim carrey (unlike the cable guy) but what she sees is that i can't live without her, my arms belong around her, and i'm so glad i found her once again.

and it's true we named we'll name* our children after towns that we've never been to and it's true that the clouds just hung around like black cadillacs outside a funeral. and we were done, done, done with all the fuck, fuck, fucking around! you were so true to yourself; you were true to no one else. well, i should put you in the ground. i've got the time, i've got the hours, i've got the days, i've got the weeks, i could say to myself i've got the words but i can't speak. well i was done, done, done with all the circ-, circ-, circling 'round. i didn't die and i ain't complainin', i ain't blamin' you. i didn't know that the words you said to me meant more to me than they ever could you. i didn't lie and i ain't sayin' i told the whole truth. i didn't know that this game we were playing even had a set of rules! we named our children after towns that we'd never been to and it's true that the clouds just hung around like black cadillacs outside a funeral; and we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground... so pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns. but we were all still just dumb, dumb, dumber than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground. well, wings on flames and kings with no names. well, this place just ain't go air right now. you were so all over town but still crayola brown, well you should run around yourself right now. and we were done, done, done with all the fuck, fuck, fucking around.

Trailers for sale or rent rooms to let...fifty cents. No phone, no pool, no pets I ain't got no cigarettes ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom buys an eight by twelve four-bit room I'm a man of means by no means king of the road. Third boxcar, midnight train destination...Bangor, Maine. Old worn out suits and shoes, I don't pay no union dues, I smoke old stogies I have found short, but not too big around I'm a man of means by no means king of the road. I know every engineer on every train all of their children, and all of their names and every handout in every town and every lock that ain't locked when no one's around. I sing, trailers for sale or rent rooms to let, fifty cents no phone, no pool, no pet I ain't got no cigarettes ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom buys an eight by twelve four-bit room I'm a man of means by no means king of the road.

this life is so crazy so could you please remind me, it's simple, it's easy with you right here beside me, 'cause i don't even wanna try to get by without you, that's the reason why i'm writing this song about the way you make me feel, it's never felt so real, no, no, i have you in my heart, no distance could keep me apart love, you are the only thing that's keeping my heart still beating, 'cause i just can't let you go, even if you wanted to, you know that you'll always have my heart and i'm not letting you go, if you wake up and your bad day feels more like a cliche, with each kiss i'll replace the sad look on your face
