Birthday Musings II: Naked Raygun
These two songs seem appropiate right now...
Entrapment
You appear stage left all searching for your plan of life
Youth of course on your side as they play the drum and fife
Tryin' to get you marching to the worn out song they preach
About how things you hope for are so very out of reach
Can't they even remember
When they had hopes
And dreams?
Adolescence fled; the Adolescents sang;
while you -- you had no chance
Then before you even knew your wife she got in line to be your first romance
In the sunset of your best years you piled on the debt
You think this can't be happening here -- not here, not now, not yet
You're gonna regret this.
It's your big fall...
Well OK -- life's not what it used to be
We're tryin' to become something that maybe wasn't meant to be
We're now so totally up for grabs --
I hope someone's left to see
Will the end justify the means?
Well it beats the heck outta me
In the next round
What will we be?
Wonder Beer
Drunk again -- not a weekend
Isn't life a fuckin' ball?
Should have read all the writing on the wall
Pissed again -- one more loose end
Ever see such a fuckin' gall?
But I'm laughing at angels as they fall
Drunk again -- not a weekend
My insides feel black and blue
Will this healing elixir pull me through
Drunk again -- where is Lou Reed?
Come on Iggy -- tell me true
Wish Roy Orbison could tell me what to do
So I'll drink
To the wonder, while I wander
If there are gods they must be drunk
Rev'ling in the madness you and I
So I'll wonder, while I wander
If there are gods they must be drunk
Rev'ling in the madness you and I
Drunk again not a weekend
Give me needles -- sleep on pins
As I long for the sweet Bacchanalian din
Damned again -- since that weekend
From too much adrenalinhide my eyes and take two more aspirin
Drunk again -- not a weekend
Pagan alchoholiday
Cheer and beer hounds -- that still keep me at bay
Drunk again -- till the binge ends
My glass fortress my mainstay
And the wonder of each new sordid day
