Watching the books burn,
What did you learn?
I learned girls  are great

Land-lovers refuse to understand that others
Need the sea like we need the sand
Why surprised then when your hands have yet to crack from the clapping...

I have seen a light...

Young lions at 
Night play too close to the wire... 
That's OK, it's just fire... 
I have seen a light...

Something quite unholy, heard from your mouth,
As noted, south, south, hurrying south.
Are you ready for another one, baby?
Just because it crumbles,
...

Well hello, hey, don't we all? 
But you didn't just keep it a dream, so it seems 
Unlike the rest of us. 
My little heartbreaker, my heart's saltshake...

You can't believe
The way the wind's talking to the sea.
I heard that someone said it before,
I don't care,

Another savage night at the club
Let's face it old souls like us are being born to die
It's not a war till someone loses an eye

I wrote a song for America
They told me it was clever

The dark side of town forever
Who knew

I went for you  in military times and, then,
I waited well  into the 2300s.
I  made my way through  the
Union Street design  kids.
They were alright.

Listening to Strawberry Wine
 For the 131st time

 And I have got to get back to where I'm coming from
 A hundred million lovers dancing in a row
