words caught me off guard

this is kind of a nothing post, just a couple quotes of song lyrics that caught me off guard lately, kinda got in there where i live...i love these lyrics so i thought i'd share

"i'm not all i thought i'd be
i always stayed around
i've been as far as mercy and grand
frozen to the ground
i can't stay here and i'm scared to leave
(just kiss me once and then)
i'll go to hell
i might as well
be whistlin down the wind"
-tom waits, "whistle down the wind" from bone machine
tom waits is kind of a motherfucker sometimes with his heartbreakingly good lyrics...

"love is only trouble
we're both too drunk to steer it
we may never be angels
but we're lousy with the spirit"
-constantines, "on to you" from shine a light
i just love the last line really. it's genius. it makes me think of me and adam and dan and sarah and michelle and nicole and jeff and kendra and...it makes me think of everybody...past and present...that's us...very much me i think/hope...the guy diving for a frisbee when we're just throwing it in the park...caring about stuff lots and lots...big hearts all of us...aw geeze now i'm feeling mushy...i'll be into booze tonight...
love y'all
