THRILLER

‘ i found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes. ’ ‘ long live the car crash hearts. ’ ‘ cry on the couch, and all the poets come to life. fix me in forty-five. ’ ‘ i can take all your problems away with a nod and a wave of my hand. ’ ‘ that’s just the kind of boy that i am. ’ ‘ the only thing i haven’t done yet is die. ’ ‘ crowds are won and lost and won again. ’

“THE TAKE OVER, THE BREAKS OVER”

‘ baby, seasons change, but people don’t. ’ ‘ i’m boring. ’ ‘ don’t pretend you ever forgot about me. ’ ‘ wouldn’t you rather be a widow than a divorcee? ’ ‘ we don’t fight fair. ’ ‘ they say your head can be a prison; then these are just conjugal visits. ’ ‘ people will dissect us till this doesn’t mean a thing anymore. ’ ‘ we do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. ’ ‘ we’re trapped and well concealed in secret places. ’

THIS AIN’T A SCENE, IT’S AN ARMS RACE

‘ i am an arms dealer, fitting you with weapons in the form of words. ’ ‘ i don’t really care which side wins. ’ ‘ that’s just the business i’m in. ’ ‘ this ain’t a scene, it’s a goddamn arms race. ’ ‘ i’m not a shoulder to cry on. ’ ‘ i’m a leading man, and the lies i weave are oh-so intricate. ’ ‘ i wrote the gospel on giving up. ’

I’M LIKE A LAWYER WITH THE WAY I’M ALWAYS TRYING TO GET YOU OFF (ME & YOU)

‘ last year’s wishes are this year’s apologies. ’ ‘ every time i come home i take my last chance to burn a bridge or two. ’ ‘ i only keep myself this sick in the head cause i know how the words get you off. ’ ‘ we’re the new face of failure: prettier and younger, but not any better off. ’ ‘ me and you, setting in a honeymoon if i woke up next to you. ’ ‘ i love the tree i used to lay beneath, kissed teeth stained red from a sour bottle baby girl with eyes the size of baby worlds. ’ ‘ the best way to make it through with hearts and wrists intact is to realize two out of three ain’t bad. ’

HUM HALLELUJAH

‘ it’s all a game of this or that, now versus then, better off against worse for wear. ’ ‘ you’re someone who knows someone who knows someone i once knew. ’ ‘ i just want to be a part of this. ’ ‘ the road outside my house is paved with good intentions. ’ ‘ i could write it better than you ever felt it. ’ ‘ hum hallelujah just off the key of reason. ’ ‘ i thought i loved you. it was just how you looked in the light. ’ ‘ a teenage vow in a parking lot: till tonight do us part. ’ ‘ my words are my faith. ’ ‘ to hell with our good name. ’ ‘ one day, we’ll get nostalgic for disaster. ’ ‘ i love you in the same way there’s a chapel in a hospital: one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door. ’ ‘ sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills. ’

GOLDEN

‘ how cruel is the golden rule when the lives we live are only golden-plated? ’ ‘ i knew the lights of the city were too heavy for me. ’ ‘ i saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies, and all the lovers with no time for me. ’ ‘ all of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me. ’ ‘ all of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me, and pray they don’t grow up to be me. ’

THNKS FR TH MMRS

DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I THINK I AM?

‘ penny for your thoughts, but a dollar for your insights, or a fortune for your disaster. ’ ‘ they say quitters never win. ’ ‘ there’s a world outside of my front door that gets off on being down. ’ ‘ i could learn to pity fools, as i’m the worst of all. ’ ‘ i can’t stop feeling sorry for myself. ’ ‘ we’re broken down on memory lane. ’ ‘ we’re alone. ’

THE (AFTER) LIFE OF THE PARTY

‘ i’m a stitch away from making it, and a scar away from falling apart. ’ ‘ the full moon pills got me out on the street at night. ’ ‘ i cut it loose, watch you work the room. ’ ‘ put love on hold. ’ ‘ death’s in a double bed. ’ ‘ i’m singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate. ’ ‘ i kiss away young thrills and kills on the mouths of all my friends. ’

THE CARPAL TUNNEL OF LOVE

‘ we take sour sips from life’s lush lips, and we shake the hips in relationships. ’ ‘ we might have started singing just a little soon. ’ ‘ we’re throwing stones at a glass moon. ’ ‘ we’re so miserable and stunning. ’ ‘ i slept through the weekend and was dreaming of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity. ’ ‘ we might have said goodbyes just a little soon. ’ ‘ it was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche. ’ ‘ you call me a bad tipper of the cradle. ’ ‘ we’re the has-beens of husbands sharpening the knives of young wives. ’ ‘ take two years and call me when you’re better. ’

BANG THE DOLDRUMS

‘ i wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm when you passed out. ’ ‘ best friends, ex-friends till the end. better off as lovers, and not the other way around. ’ ‘ “come hell or high water” well, i’m feeling hot and wet. ’ ‘ i can’t commit to a thing, be it heart or hospital. ’ ‘ the tombstones were waiting, they were half-engraved. they knew it was over, just didn’t know the date. ’ ‘ i cast a spell over the west to make you think of me the same way i think of you. ’ ‘ this is a love song, in my own way: happily ever after below the waist. ’

FAME < INFAMY

‘ i’m a preacher sweating in the pew for the salvation i’m bringing you. ’ ‘ when i’m home alone, i just dance by myself. ’ ‘ i’m alright in bed, but i’m better with a pen. ’ ‘ the kid was alright, but it went to his head. ’ ‘ i am god’s gift, but why would he bless me with such wit without a conscience equipped? ’ ‘ i’m addicted to the way i feel when i think of you. ’

YOU’RE CRASHING, BUT YOU’RE NO WAVE

‘ i’m guessing that you read the morning paper? ’ ‘ the headline reads “the man hangs,” but the jury doesn’t. ’ ‘ everyone’s looking for relief. ’ ‘ clear your throat and face the world. ’ ‘ we’re only breathing with the aid of denial. ’ ‘ isn’t it tragic? ’ ‘ hang on a rope or bated breath, whichever you prefer. ’ ‘ not a word could make you comprehend. ’ ‘ i can talk my way out of anything. ’

I’VE GOT ALL THIS RINGING IN MY EARS AND NONE ON MY FINGERS

‘ you’re a canary, i’m a coal mine. ’ ‘ sorrow is just all the rage. ’ ‘ i’m so sorry, but not really. ’ ‘ the truth hurts worse than anything i could bring myself to do to you. ’ ‘ do you remember the way i held your hand under the lamp post and ran home this way, so many times i could close my eyes? ’

G.I.N.A.S.F.S.

‘ i’ve loved everything about you that hurt. ’ ‘ let me see your moves. ’ ‘ everybody wants to drive on through the night if it’s a drive back home. ’ ‘ things aren’t the same anymore. ’ ‘ i sleep with your old shirts and walk through this house in your shoes. ’ ‘ it’s a strange way of saying that i know i’m supposed to love you. ’ ‘ i’m supposed to love you. ’ ‘ i’ve already given up on myself twice; third time is the charm. ’ ‘ i threw caution to the wind, but i’ve got a lousy arm. ’ ‘ some nights, they get so bad i almost pick up the phone. ’ ‘ you saved my life. ’ ‘ you saved my life, that night on the roof of your hotel. ’
