"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
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death"


Time - Pink Floyd

A much better choice than most that precede it.



Bid the years good-bye you cannot still them
You cannot turn the circles of the sun
You cannot count the miles until you feel them
And you cannot hold a lover that is gone - Townes

There ain't no problem you can't solve with one more beer.

We all have someone that digs at us, but at least we dig each other.

First thought:

I can't compete,
with the riders in the other heat

but more probably this:

But I shot a man in Reno,
just to watch him die.

Knock the world right off it's feet
And straight onto its head
The book of love will
Long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you
And what was said
Make a play for all the
Brightest minds and light will shed

It's such a waste to be wasted
In the first place
I want to taste the taste of
Being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone I listen
To our secret theme

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
I'd take a fall and you know
That I'd do anything
I will for you

"A funkie not a junkie, but I know where to get it"

Boss DJ- Sublime

was in my head already, but not a favorite song. Still a cool line though.

A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his Maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his Maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be

I never thought they'd ever doubt my words
I guess they were just too tired to care
I'd point to the horizon
to the dust of the herds
still hovering in the air
somebody said it aint any such
man you wish so hard you're scaring me
and those are combines kicking up that dust
but I guess you can see what you want to see
you can keep on chasing what used to be there
top that rise and face the pain

but man they were here
they were here I swear
not just these bleaching bones
stretching across the plain

"Faster than the speed of sound, faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope".

Smashing Pumpkins- 1979

I'm 20 and in college, trying to live, love and enjoy this limited period of life called "youth". These lyrics really speak to me to enjoy it because even though "growing up" seems so far off, that my youth will pass me by in a heartbeat, so enjoy it now.

quote:

I'd smoked my brain the night before,
On cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid,
Cussin' at a can that he was kicking.
Then I crossed the empty street,
'n caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken.
And it took me back to somethin',
That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way.


quote:

In the park I saw a daddy,
With a laughin' little girl who he was swingin'.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school,
And listened to the song they were singin'.
Then I headed back for home,
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'.
And it echoed through the canyons,
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

And then she pulled out my mushroom tip
And when it came out it went drip drip drip
I didn't know she had the GI Joe kung fu grip

Pete Townshend----Slit Skits

Recrimination festers,and the past can never change.
A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range.
Once she woke with untamed lover's face between her legs.
But now he's cooled and stifled,and she who has to beg.

cold comfort for change...

a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

Our lives are hanging in the balance
Or they're dangling by a thread
A spark of life brought down from an angel
To raise the stranger from the dead
Once more we're cheating on the reaper
With all the gypsy in our souls
Cause I know there's a God up in heaven
Who must love rock and roll
