We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Some turn to Jesus and some turn to heroin.
Something's lost, but something's gained, in living everyday.
The land of litigation, the courts are like game shows. Take what's behind the curtain the jury cries.
Land of snap decisions, land of short attention spans, nothing is savored long enough to really understand.
During times like these, the wise are influential.
You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.
Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy?
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew there was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too.
The Hollywood sirens are shrieking, while down some search lit alley runs some lost belief.
Ira Gershwin, shame on him. I mean, some of the writing.
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss, he'll steal your heart and sail away.
Let light hearts remake us.
