about

But all these melancholy fits, howsoever pleasing at first, or displeasing, violent and tyrannizing over those whom they seize on for the time; yet these fits I say, or men affected, are but improperly so called, because they continue not, but come and go, as by some objects they aye moved. This melancholy of which we are to treat, is a habit, mosbus sonticus, or chronicus, a chronic or continuate disease, a settled humour, as Aurelianus and others call it, not errant, but fixed; and as it was long increasing, so now being (pleasant, or painful) grown to an habit, it will hardly be removed. [Richard Burton}

lyrics

this car sure rumbles this car sure rattles
this car will get me there, or so I pray
I'm not so sure it even matters
this job won't last too long anyway

but I gotta keep pushing, gotta keep driving
so much business I got to be minding

nothing worse than being all alone
except for being alone with everyone else
trade my back for a roof and four walls
where rats and roaches ring liberty bells

but I gotta keep pushing, gotta keep trying
so much business I got to be minding

On my way back home I saw a crow
Staring at a drunken puking girl
Cocked his head as if to ask me why
I wish I knew, it's just our way

sometimes, despite all the shit, this world sparkles
sometimes, despite all the shit, this world has grace
sometimes, despite all the shit, this living is remarkable
though most of it is just empty space
