Valley of the Trolley Dollies

Its now 15:19 GMT on 11/24 and I’m posting this to my blog to see how long it takes to show on Facebook, which seems to have been taking AAAAGESSS to show my blog posts.

Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it’s hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So… light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
(a thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that’s been and done
The battle’s won
The good and bad in everyone
(this is mine to remember)

So …
Here I go again
Singin’ by your window
Pickin’ up the pieces of what’s left to find

The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
(a thousand beautiful things)

To live
To die
To breathe
To sleep
To try to make your life complete
(yes yes)
So …

Light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
never close my eyes …
That is everything I have to say
(that’s all I have to say)

mouse

She thought that I was nothing but a house
wife and a frump; thought she could take my man
from me and I’d stay silent as a mouse.
That I’d fight back was never in her plan;
and yet how could I not when all I knew
was heading West with Laura and her hair
of yellow and her sparkling eyes of blue,
her scarlet nails and fashion savoir faire.
But then she learned: You cannot run in heels,
as I slid up the gear lever to “Drive.”
It took me hours to scrape her off the wheels.
Laura’s no more; this mouse is still alive.
She lies beneath the sod, and moulders now;
But then, she always was a rotten cow.
