Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me

That really drives you insane.

Let's do the time-warp again.

Magenta:
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with
voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.

RiffRaff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip.

And nothing can ever be the same.

just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an

He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.

lately i've been feeling low
a rememdy is what i'm seeking
i take a taste of what's below
come away to something better
what i want is what i've not got
but what i need is all around me
reaching seraching never stop

low

Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the Whiskey drowns

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh I've got friends in low places

Stranger
Stranger in a strange land
He looked at me like I
Was the one who should run
We asked him to smile for a photograph
Waited awhile to see if we could
Make him laugh

Stranger in a Strange Land from U2's "October"

[Christine]

photograph

I found this photograph,
Underneath the broken picture glass.
Tender face of black and white
Beautiful, a haunting sight.
Looked into an angel's smile
Captivated all the while.
From the hair and clothes she wore
I'd place her in between the wars.

~ REM

War

"When two tribes go to war, one is all that you can score."

1-0 - That's a defensive battle, a great pitching duel.
As long as you're on the side with one, it's OK.
I think I'm getting away from the game here.

~ U2

[Glyndwr]

You

Go back to dust and decay,
Body, grown weary and old;
You are worthless to me from today-
No longer my soul can you hold.

For a life that is better than this;
I go where partings ne'er sever
You into oblivion's abyss.

And it bleeds into where you resist
And my only way, way out is to go

[Saddaddy]

Goodbye

It was not like your great & gracious ways!
Do you , that have nought other to lament ,
Never, my Love , repent of how , that July afternoon ,
You went , With sudden , unintelligible pharse ,-
& frightened eye , Upon your journey of so many days ,
Without a single kiss or a goodbye?
