I just walked from home to the office.  Halfway here, I saw a jeep with

all of its doors unlocked.  I passed it, thinking it was odd, and on a

whim, went back to look if there was a key in the ignition.  There was.

This had always been my fantasy:  a car that was seemingly waiting for me

to take it, almost like a sign from above.  Of course, fear gripped me,

and I thought, "wait, why do I want this car?  What would I do with it?"

I didn't come up with anything right away, and, a bit shaken with the

whole situation, I sat down and simply stared at the jeep, hoping for

inspiration.  What had I always wanted to do, given a car to run off in?





Let's just drive your car
We could drive all day
Let's just get the hell away from here
For I am sick again-
just plain sick to death
Of the sound of my own voice
We could leave behind
another wasted year
Just get some cheap red wine
And just go flying

We could do the things,
All the things you wanted to
No one cares about us anyway

I think I lost my smile
I think you lost yours too
We have lost the power to
make each other laugh
Let's just leave this place
And go to Summerland
Just a name on the map
Sounds like heaven to me

We could find a town-
be just how we want to be
No one here really cares
about us anyway
We could find a place-
make it what we want it to be
No one really gives a fuck
about us anyway
We could live-
live just like we want to live
No one here really cares
about us anyway
We could be-
everything we want to be
We could get lost in the Fall
Glimmer Sparkle and Fade
The Sparkle and Fade
Fall Glimmer Sparkle and Fade

Forget about our jobs at
the record store
Forget about all the losers
that we know
Forget about all the memories
that keep you down 
Forget about them
We could lose them in the 
Sparkle and Fade
We could leave them behind 
In the Sparkle and Fade
Yeah Sparkle and Fade
Fall Glimmer Sparkle and Fade




so I guess it's good that this no longer seemed reason enough to me.  

to go somewhere . . . 


we are all
in some way or another
going to Reseda
to die
