2003-12-22, 8:40 p.m. Took a walk down a familiar street. It seems to me we're on the losing end. Watched the buildings fall and the eyes turn away. I never could find the words to say what I needed to say. Christmas lights but there's no such thing here. Old plane tickets scatter the floor, photos and empty bottles and scribbed words on torn pages. They are all that we are now, those photos and bottles and scribbed words and plane tickets. Tired we return here to home, lug the equipment upstairs. We're so tired but let me sing one more, I can feel the drums thru the floor. Don't know the words but this is how it goes.... "Couldn't sleep, couldn't dream Forgetten where I was Left behind our lives here The memories are all we have And you know, I know And you know, I know So take a trip, take a walk Familiar street and familiar song You drummed the beat And I sang along" Something like that. Don't remember the random like that. But that is us. After Ten. End of show. |
