"Roland searched the continent for the man who did him in
He found him in Mombasa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun, he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg."

-Warren Zevon

"I wanted the ocean to cover over me
I wanna sink slowly without getting wet
Maybe someday, I won't be so lonely
And I'll walk on water every chance I get"

Counting Crows "Time and Time Again"
"Hear me now and don't forget
I'm not the man my actions would suggest
A little boy, I'm tied to you
I fell apart
That's what I always do".....

Afghan Whigs "Debonair"


Dylan...

" Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room, where I got me a date with Botticelli's neice, she promised she'd be right there with me, when I paint my masterpiece." 

The Dead does an outstanding version of this on their Dozin at the Knick cd.
