"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"

"Michael from mountains
Go where you will go to
Know that I will know you
Someday, I may know you
Very well"

"But I could have told you, Vincent - This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you." -Don McLean, "Starry Starry Night"
...and I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway - Fly on a Windshield, Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

..got the rotweilers by the door,
I feed 'em gunpowder,
so they can devour,
the criminals,
tryin to drop my decimals..
