Let it Play













The beat was going strong,
Playin' my favorite song,
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me,
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Kodachrome







They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

I know there is strength in the differences between us.
I know there is comfort where we overlap.

"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me,
"The answer is easy if you take it logically,
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free,
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover."

She said, "it's really not my habit to intrude,
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued,
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude,
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover,"
Fifty ways to leave your lover...

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Ooo slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
Get yourself free

She said, "it grieves me so to see you in such pain,
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again,"
I said, "I appreciate that, and would you please explain,
About the fifty ways?"

She said, "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight.
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
And then, she kissed me and I realized she probably was right,
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover...

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Oh you hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

let your hair grow




Long hair - don't care.

Oh, these dreams I've been having...
Tonight, I am thankful for my dreamcatcher.

Today...

I wished I lived in San Francisco
You could be the King, but watch the Queen conquer.

Ok, first things first - I’ll eat your brains,
Then I’mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs,
'Casue that’s what a muthaf-cking monster do
.

I am notorious for mistaking dead-ends for goldmines.

a woman from a child




Cold, late night so long ago, when I was not so strong, you know, a pretty man came to me.
You know, I could not run away, it seemed we'd seen each other in a dream.
Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah, "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile, "you don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile. But try to understand, try to understand, try, try, try to understand, I'm a magic man."
Winter nights we sang in tune, played inside the months of moon, "Never think of never...let this spell last forever."

He half laughs out the words, “Girl, you always do this to me, makin’ me make bad decisions,” he takes a drag from his just-lit cigarette. Exhales. “Like the Queen of Hearts, you’re always taking my head, shaking it up, mixing-up my mind. Making me wonder.”

She smiles. Waits a breath, and watches, as it is casually released back into the glacial air.

Lies, “I’m sorry.”
