cheshire (Mary Vogt):
I'm not aware of too many things
What I know is what I know, you know what I mean?
Philosophy is writing on a cereal box
Religion is a smile on a dog.
Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am - you,
What you are, oh, what
What I am is what I am - you,
What you are is what I am is what I am...
Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks
Religion is a walk in the fog.
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep....
-Suzanne Vega

dachurch (Douglas A. Church):
There are things I'd like to say to you
But i'm never talking to you again
I'm tired of wasting all of my time
Trying to talk to you
- "I'm Never Talking to You Again", Husker Du, _Zen Arcade_

dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):
The possible dream
Finale of seem
The moment that some call eternal
That some call insane
Now helmets on each head
Awaiting the first lead
The pageant is named
The pencil rain
The infantry stands
And holds out its hands
The marshal's binoculars focus
And skyward they train
They're searching the yonder blue
They look out for number two
The heraldry of
The pencil rain
And now hear the roar
That none can ignore
The thunderous clatter of splintering wood
And lives that are claimed
And none who have witnessed all
Can think of a nobler cause
Than perishing in
The pencil rain
"The Pencil Rain" They Might Be Giants
