Well, I was thinking more along the lines of.....


When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.


...


When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

and...


You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Are immune to your consultation, they're quite aware of what they're going through..."

Modest Mouse- "Lives"
What a great song! My favorite line in that song is "Nobody's gonna play the harp when you die".

I look at the world and notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
-The Beatles (George Harrison) While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake -- waiting for the van to come
Corporation teashirt, stupid bloody Tuesday man you been a naughty boy you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus
-The Beatles (John Lennon) I Am the Walrus

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
...Helter skelter, helter skelter, helter skelter
-The Beatles (Paul McCartney) Helter Skelter
