as seems to be my way when i can't sleep... or on those nights when i know that i have to be in another one of the armpits of southern california at the buttcrack of dawn, i'm up late reading the news online, trying to get in a workout and listening with new ears to music.
from patty griffin:
say goodbye to the old street
that never cared much for you anyway
and the different colored doorways
you thought would let you in one day
...interspersed with a sampling of headlines, courtesy of cnn:
Documents: Teen murder suspect plotted killing spree,
and
Did 'South Park' go too far in mocking Tom Cruise?
i walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train
with a million other faces
i shoot through the city veins
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
you wanted to be free
somewhere beyond the bitter end
is where I wanna be
Scores killed in suicide bombings,
and
Ex-CIA boss: Cheney is 'vice president for torture'.
how the sky turns to fire
against a telephone wire
it burns the last of the day down
and I'm the last one hanging around
waiting on a train track
and the train never comes back
and even I'm getting tired
of useless desires
...then i go back to my online shopping... looking for decent prices on a new pair of workpants.
