An air of impoverishment and depleted humanity -- That's mine now, I got that before you could get it -- An obnoxious, bitter, hateful old creep -- This is one of the things I would say is inexplicable -- A form of protection against the loss of self -- Suck all the blossoms and he leave you an empty square -- We are not drowning -- I like to get into the field and hunt them down in the wild, so to speak -- All I'm saying is there's no way you can game this kind of system -- Now there's a man on his way down -- i saw America changed through music -- There will be no service -- But there's another part of me that finds it kind of disgusting -- Luring me out here for nothing but a damn bunch of LP records! -- An obsessive need for tings to stay the same and an immersion in arcane knowledge -- Who wants to hear a story about a boy learning guitar from a book?
