'scuse me, girl - I couldn't help but notice: you make it hard to focus on drinking my nth beer have a drink, and tell me what your name is. you look like someone famous back in her younger years. how can I still get talked into a corner every time there's a bore who thinks he can tell me just what I need? can't he tell that it smellslikepaint in this corner and I can't breathe... don't go away - let's talk about the weather. we'll stand real close together.

long time 03:33
I know a man who takes a long time to speak. if you ask him how it feels, to be, you'd better count on your fingers, and wait to see what's left in the palm of your hand. I know a song that takes a long time to sing. if you listen, you can hear the beat. and you can clap, palms and fingers, and wait to hear what's left in the space between your hands. I know a heart who takes a long time to love. while I'm waiting, I wish on stars. and hope that they're falling, and wait to see what's left holding on to my hand.
