I smell bud in the hallway. I can't be myself when you are away. It's okay, we'll do it your way. If I can sleep here I can sleep anywhere. New york slums have pulled me into the flux. The kids that smoke me up, they're all actors for a buck; they don't give a fuck. And I'm rushing down the staircase to the lobby of the George Washington Hotel. This is my hell, East Third Avenue, what's it to you? I burned those papers you needed. You know better than me. (I wish that I was skinny, then I wouldn't need to be cool and maybe you would need me more than I need you.) I slipped on the black ice. Your black eyes, your sharp teeth. You sank deep. (I wish that I was sickly skinny.) [At this point in the record, the hex requests to rewind the tape back. The tape is rewound but, alas, there is none. Thus, following as such:] You know I can't meet you. You're not real here. I see things no one sees. I pictured draining the blood from your heart. [Logan is allowed into the room and the gates of hell are now finally open.]
Drop the needle and drop right out of all the worries of the world. If only for a while. It’s totally worth it. These are fantastic tunes from a legendary band. Just mind blowingly beautiful then savage then beautiful again. Yep…. bit like life. Enjoy…. johno71
