[QUOTE="papastebu, post: 3520590, member: 40894"] This song is kind of a description of my reaction to the girl I was with when I met my wife. So Much Fire By the Floating Men [I]I ain’t nothing but ribs, knees, and elbows I’m way too young to be dry, brittle and cold I’ve been wondering how I let her hurl me into madness I’ve been wondering how she bled the child in me away I’ve been hammering boards over the windows I’ve been nailing the doors to the frames I’ve been wondering how I let her fill my heart with lightning I’ve been wondering how she led a long haired boy astray Chorus: No, I’ve fought to the man for the last time And I don’t understand how a girl so much like rain could breath so much fire I’ve been tapping the walls listening for angels I’ve been eyeing the halls spying for ghosts And in a shadowy dream I see her barefoot on a glider I try to beg her for peace, but I’m just to vague and far away Chorus: And in a shadowy dream I see her barefoot on a glider I try to beg her for peace, but I’m just too vague and far away Chorus: She breathed so much fire How could she see through the flames? How could she see through the flames?[/I] This song describes me making the decision to straighten up and try a different way. Fade To Gray By The Floating Men [I]I can’t trade another day in the shade for a night on the town All this whiskey and risky behavior is wearing me down (What are you dreaming of?) Hell a shack in the woods would be more than enough (What are you dreaming of?) This ain’t no way to live or to try to find love (Slow down) I want to live where the sunlight lights (Slow down) Feather light on my face (Slow down) I want to leave all this neon and vice Before the fire inside me dies and finally fades to gray I had a car—it’s still parked in the yard—I can’t give it away But I can walk to the bar and the market ain’t far if I can bear the light of day (What are you dreaming of?) Hell, a dollar to spare would be more than enough (What are you dreaming of?) This ain’t no way to live or to try to find love (Slow down) I want to live where the sunlight lights (Slow down) Feather light on my face (Slow down) I want to leave all this neon and vice Before the fire inside me dies and finally fades to gray Oh no, don’t let it fade to gray Oh no, don’t let it fade to gray Oh no, don’t let it fade to gray Oh no, don’t let it fade to gray Girls will maul you and promise to call you then run away Hell, I blew all my bread on some redhead it turned out that she was a he anyway (What are you dreaming of?) Hell, a red-blooded girl would be more than enough (What are you dreaming of?) This ain’t no way to live or to try to find love (What are you dreaming of?) I’ve been tainted and tattered and tarnished enough (What are you dreaming of?) This ain’t no way to live or to try to find love[/I] Maybe not-so-curiously they're on the same album. [/QUOTE]
