What I meant to say was: "Why is your life a joke?" Then I went down to that ugly bar and I clicked my heels three times just like you said And I climbed that road to your empty house The anticipation was a turn-on...but you let me down 'Cause I stood on that empty street alone I said, "I'm ready for my close-up now, Mr. Demille." I waited for the light but it never shone Well I wonder what you do with that expensive piece of land That overlooks a billion years of history (I have a sneaking suspicion) You will never understand Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky & Bullwinkle And we can talk to that charlatan psychic And she can paint a prettier picture of your future. 'Cause that day in my life... That day in my life... I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch? You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right." 'Cause that day never should have taken place 'Cause this day in my life still cannot explain Why I listened in the first place to you Oh yeah, something else... I hope one day you call up your father And you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you And he made you hurt another 'Cause it makes me sad. 000413 ... somebody gifted and tormented 000915 ... guitar_freak But evil things in robes of sorrow, Assailed the monarch's high estate; (Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow And, round about his home, desolate!) And, round about his home the glory That blushed and bloomed Is but a dis-remembered story Of the old time entombed. And if travelers now within that valley, Through the red-litten windows see Vast forms that move fantastically To a discordant melody While, like a rapid ghastly river, Through the pale door, A hideous throng rush out forever, And laugh- but smile no more. ~The Haunted Palace~ 001109 ...

I found that amusing, since I hadn't read any in about 4 or 5 years. 020331 ... nomatter Annabel Lee It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee: --- And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. She was a child and I was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love --- I and my Annabel Lee --- With a love that the wingéd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud by night Chilling my Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Went envying her and me; --- Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling And killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we --- Of many far wiser than we --- And neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; --- For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea --- In her tomb by the side of the sea. 031009 ... misstree he's chunky and wordy if you leave him laying on the page, but if you lift him to your lips and let drift such syllables, such full-bodied sighs, such lavish creations, that is where languid night-swathed flight is found. he is one of my favorite poets to hear read. i've found a recording of jeff_buckley reading "ulalume," and it was, wow, it was, aw shit just go download it. 031010 ... u24 i've got chistopher walken reading the raven, wanna swap? 060601 ... anne-girl pieces of eight 060601 what's it to you? who go blather from
