you know I’d sooner go down in a ball of flames
than I would lay here and be bored to death
all’s well that ends

All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rock and through
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Getting Sodas - The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die
The world is a beautiful place but we have to make it that way. Whenever you find home we’ll make it more than just a shelter. And if everyone belongs there it will hold us all together. If you’re afraid to die, then so am I.

I’m under the gun again
I know I was a 45 percenter then
I know I was a lot of things
But I am good, I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
I can’t get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
I keep feeling smaller and smaller

Synapse to synapse, the possibility’s thin
I’m dressed up for free drinks and family greetings
On your wedding, your wedding, your wedding date
The figures in plastic on the wedding cake that I took were so real
And I kept a distance, the complications cloud
The postcards and blip through fiber optics,
As the girls with pigtails were running from little boys wearing bowties
Their parents bought and “I’ll catch you this time!”
Crashing through the parlor doors, what was your first reaction?
Screaming, drunk, disorderly, I’ll tell you mine
You were the one, but I can’t spit it out when the date’s been set
The white routine to be ingested inaccurately
Synapse to synapse, the sneaky kids had attached
Beer cans to the bumper so they could drive
Up and down the main drag
People would turn to see who’s making the racket
It’s not the first time
When they lay down the fish will swim upstream
And I’ll contest, but they won’t listen
When the casualty rate’s near 100 percent,
And there isn’t a pension for second best or for hardly moving

I’ve been slipping through the years
My old clothes don’t fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts of the people I’ve been

Alien Days by MGMT
Must’ve skipped the ship
And joined the team for a ride
A couple hours to learn the controls
And commandeer both my eyes
Be quick dear, times are uncertain
One month crawling, next year blurring
Decades in the drain
Monograms on the brain
Decide what’s working
And what’s moved on to the last phase
The floodgate alien days
I love those alien days
Mmm, the alien days

Wanting not to want you won’t make it so
It doesn’t work that way
Don’t leave me here alone
