It wouldnt be so bad
If I could take a good thing and make it last
Money for this rent
Time that I spent
Me and my girlfriend
My heart is broken down again
I blame it on myself
It wouldnt be so bad
If I could take a good thing and make it last
Money in the bank
Gas in my tank
Me and my girlfriend
Im crawling through the crowd again
And Im looking for myself
It makes me mad
Cuz I wanna be happy so bad
It makes me mad
Cuz I wanna be happy so bad
Stepping out
Take it in
Starting over again
Falling out
Starting over
It makes me mad
Cuz I wanna be happy so bad
It makes me mad
Cuz I wanna be happy
It makes me mad
Cuz I wanna be happy so bad
It makes me mad
Cuz I wanna be happy so bad

Take Off
11-02-2008
JERRY: What do you do at the end of a date when you know you don't want to see this person ever again, for the rest of your life? What do you say? What do you say? No matter what you say, it's a lie. "I'll see you around. See you around. If you're around, and I'm around, I'll see you around that area. You'll be around other people. You won't be around me. But you will be around." "Take care now." Did you ever say that to somebody? "Take care now. Take care, now. Because, I'm not going to be taking care of you. So, you should take care, now." "Take care. Take care." What does this mean? "Take off!" Isn't that what you really want to say? "Take off now." "Take off" "Get out"

Young Man Blues

Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
You know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people they'd step back
When a young man walked by
But you know nowadays
It's the old man,
He's got all the money
And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said nothing
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'.
Everybody!
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'
He got nothin'
Nothin'
Take it easy on the young man
They ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said they ain't got nothin'!
They got sweet fuck-all!

JERRY: I'm not afraid of flying, although many people do have fear of flying and, I have no arguement with that. I think fear of flying is quite rational because, human beings cannot fly. Humans have fear of flying same way fish have fear of driving. Put a fish behind the wheel, and they go, "This isn't right. I shouldn't be doing this. I don't belong here."

Perfect Strangers
06-02-2008
Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in
Falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers

The Collar's Ok

GEORGE: (Sarcastic) Maybe for her new performance piece she'll give birth on stage.
ELAINE: She stopped performing.
GEORGE: (Again, sarcastic) Oh, what a huge blow to the culture.
JERRY: (Gesturing to George) You believe this guy? He holds a grudge like Khomeini.
GEORGE: She dragged me down to that warehouse on the waterfront in Brooklin to see one of her "performances".
JERRY: Oh, and she cooks dinner onstage for some celebrity?
GEORGE: God! She's cooking dinner for God! She's yelling and screaming, and the next thing I know, she throws a big can of chocolate syrup all over my new red shirt.
ELAINE: It was an accident!
GEORGE: Oh, yeah, sure, accident, right. She was aiming right at me like she was putting out a fire! Then, for the rest of the show, I'm sitting there with chocolate all over my shirt. Flies are landing on me. I'm boiling - I'm fantasizing all the things I'm gonna say when I see her. And later, finally, backstage when I talk to her, I'm a groveling worm. "What kind of chocolate was that? Do you throw any other foods?"
JERRY: (To Elaine) he thought he still had a shot.
GEORGE: And then, then, then she leaves with somebody else! Never even, never even said goodbye! Never called me back.. Never apologized. Nothing. Like I was dirt.
JERRY: What ever happened with the shirt?
GEORGE: I still have it. The collar's okay. I wear it under sweaters.

Sweet Nothing

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
Not the shirt right of his back
He ain't got nothing at all
And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street
And this is what he said
Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Say a word for Polly May
She can't tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet
And say a word for Joanna Love
She ain't got nothing at all
'Cos everyday she falls in love
And everynight she falls when she does

Versions Of The Same
31-01-2008
We're only two versions of the same
Trying to get far but we can't fall apart
And I know all of your silent cries
Your desperate call of the wild in the dark
No you never had to feel this way
There's an answer that grows in your heart
All you see, all you feel lives inside of me
You've been heading too close to the sun
Going nowhere, nothing is forever
Tell me... Am I wrong? I'm falling down with you
'Cause I know we are one
Don't you know we are two versions of the same
You can't find your way if you are not with me
And I know we are one
Yes I know we are two versions of the same
There's so much left to say but you do need some faith
All the secrets I keep inside
Something that's not to be known from this side
What I see, what I feel
What I need to know and what I never really say
Now our souls are too close to combine
Come here, follow me
Through the Gates of Heaven
Tell me... Am I wrong? I really can't go on
'Cause I know we are one
Don't you know we are two versions of the same
You can't find your way if you are not with me
And I know we are one
Yes I know we are two versions of the same

30-01-2008
JERRY: Men flip around the television more than women, I think. Men get that remote control in their hands, they don't even know what the hell they're watching. You know, we just keep going, "Rerun, don't wanna watch it.. " "What are you watching?" "I don't care, I gotta keep going." "Who was that?" "I don't know what it was - doesn't matter, it's not your fault. It doesn't matter, I gotta keep going." Women don't do this. See now, women will stop and go, "Well, let me see what the show is before I change the channel." You see? Men just fly. Because women, you see, women nest and men hunt. That's why we watch TV differently. Before there was flipping around, before there was television, kings and emperors and pharaohs and such had story-tellers that would tell them stories 'cause that was their entertainment. I always wonder, in that era, if they would get, like, thirty story-tellers together so they could still flip around. Just go, "Alright start telling me a story, what's happening? I don't want to hear anymore. Shut up. Go to the next guy. What are you talking about? Is there a girl in that story? ..No? Shut up. Go to the next guy. What do you got? I don't want to hear that either. Shut up. No, go ahead, what are you talking about?.. I don't want to hear that. No, the all of you, get out of here. I'm going to bed."

Go With The Flow
29-01-2008
The Wise Man said to me:
"Sometimes one doesn't have any option but to go with the flow"
Os últimos tempos não têm sido fáceis e por isso torna-se complicado continuar a fazer tudo o que me tinha proposto fazer. Como alguns podem ter reparado, esta semana não houve episódio da série "ainda sem nome". Não se trata da greve de argumentistas - embora continue a reclamar que sou mal pago - mas sim a conjugação fantástica de azares e falta de tempo. Desde o texto ter sido apagado, passando por ficar sem net até diversas outras coisas que não interessam aqui mencionar, tudo aconteceu. Como tal, asseguro que esta semana esse mesmo episódio vai ser escrito, gravado e visionado (oh não dizem vocês). Obrigado pela compreensão. Donativos para a conta do costume.

Stranded
28-01-2008
Dog night I'm so alone
A million miles out on my own
No one to talk no one to care
Searching for someone they could be anywhere
Magic and madness it's so very strange
Soemtimes I think it's all pre-arranged
That same old feeling hits me again
Just the beginning but it's feels like the end
Oh feel like I'm stranded out here
Oh I think I might disappear
No don't leave me stranded out here
Oh it's just the loneliness I fear
Lonely window fading star
You never felt so near yet so far
Tried to forget you the best that I could
Don't try to find me it won't do any good
I'm caught in a dream so hard to locate
I'm just a captive of my own fate
No turning back no not tonight
You're moving on way out of sight
Oh feel like I'm stranded out here
Oh I think I might disappear
No don't leave me stranded out here
Oh it's just the loneliness I fear

Why Fight?
27-01-2008
JERRY: First of all, I can't believe that people actually do fight. People have fist fights in life. I can't really believe that we have boxing either. It's really kind of an amazing thing. To me, the problem with boxing is - you have two guys having a fight that have no prior argument. Why don't they have the boxers come into the ring in little cars, drive around a bit, have a little accident? They get out, "Didn't you see my signal?" "Look at that fender!" ..Then you'd see a real fight.

I Will Survive
25-01-2008
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

The Cannon Solution
24-01-2008
JERRY: Flying doesn't make me nervous - driving to the airport can make you very nervous because when you're flying, when you're getting on the plane, if you miss that plane, there's no alternative. On the ground, you have options. You have buses, you have taxis, you have trains. But, when you're taking a flight, if you miss it, that's it. No airline goes, "Well, you missed the flight, we do have a cannon leaving in about ten minutes. Would you be interested in that? It's not a direct cannon, you have to change cannons after you land." (Imitates cannon operator) "I'm sorry, where you goin'? Chicago? (Cranks the cannon) Oh, Dallas? Alright, wait a second.. (Cranks cannon to Dallas) Dallas. That's about Dallas. Texas, anyway. You should hit Texas. Are you ready? Make sure you get out of the net immediately, because we shoot the luggage in right after you."

(Imitates cannon operator) "I'm sorry, where you goin'? Chicago? (Cranks the cannon) Oh, Dallas? Alright, wait a second.. (Cranks cannon to Dallas) Dallas. That's about Dallas. Texas, anyway. You should hit Texas. Are you ready? Make sure you get out of the net immediately, because we shoot the luggage in right after you."

So Far Away
22-01-2008
Here I am again in this mean old town
And youre so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
Youre so far away from me
So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
Youre so far away from me
Im tired of being in love and being all alone
When youre so far away from me
Im tired of making out on the telephone
And youre so far away from me
So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
Youre so far away from me
I get so tired when I have to explain
When youre so far away from me
See you been in the sun and Ive been in the rain
And youre so far away from me
So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

Foodie
21-01-2008
"JERRY: I'm not a foodie. I don't, "Oh, this is too rare. Oh, it's too salty." Just eat it and shut up. I'll eat anywhere, whatever they're having. I have eaten rotten rolls off of room service trays in hotel hallways. I have. It's not a joke. This is my life. I don't know, somebody left it. Why would someone poison a roll, and leave it in a hallway for some comic coming down at two o' clock in the morning? Why would they do that? Sometimes you go to a nice restaurant, they put the check in a little book. What is this? The story of the bill? "Once upon a time, there were some very hungry people.." What is this? A little gold tassle hanging down? Am I graduating from the restaurant? What is this about?"

Secret Loser

Trapped in a lonely body I'm losin' control
Can't show my emotions and I'm losing my soul
Could it be that I'm obsessed with feeding my disease
I couldn't make it know that hidden things that no one sees
Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Fighting a losing battle pretending to win
Repenting to holy unknowns pretending to sin
All I do is hide the wounds where blood just won't congeal
Couldn't ever take my soul 'cos isn't there to steal
Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Though I'm the loser there is no winner
There's nothing left to win
The hidden reasons now in deletion
Are lost in sin
So heed my warning the time is dawning
I'll tell you here's the twist
The truth is lying
Below the surface I don't exist
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Seeing is not believing it don't mean a thing
Although it appears to be that the loser is king
I can understand that what you see you think is real
But underneath the surface is a wound that cannot heal
Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Robert Jr: So you nervous about the fight?
Rocky: Scared to death
Robert Jr: You don't look scared.
Rocky: I ain't supposed to.
Robert Jr: You don't have to do it.
Rocky: Well, I think I do.
Robert Jr: You know, living with you it hasn't been easy. People see me but they think of you. Now with all of this going on, it will be worse than ever.
Rocky: It don't have to be.
Robert Jr: No, sure it does.
Rocky: Why? You got a lot going on, kid.
Robert Jr: What? With my last name? That's the reason I got a decent job.That's why people deal with me in first place. Now I start to get a little ahead, I start to get a little something from myself. And this happens. Now I ask you as a favor, not to go through with this. This is all going to end up bad for you and end up bad for me.
Rocky: You think that I'm hurting you?
Robert Jr: Yeah, in the way you are.
Rocky: That's the last thing I ever wanted to do.
Robert Jr: I know that's what you don't want to do but that's the way it is. Don't you care what people think? Doesn't bother that people make of you out to be a joke? And know I'm going to be included in that? Do you think that's right? Do you?!
Rocky: You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here.[taps on the inside of his hand] I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilige. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life. [Rocky walks way] Don't forget to visit your mother.

If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
I feel that man
On my back
Don't promise any crap
Someone will break your neck
You don't know how
To soak my soul
Let me out
Let me go
Open your eyes
You told nothing but lies
Please go down, please
C'mon, go down with your ego
Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
Let me go ahead, let me go
I will find an explanation
Where's my only deatination
Separated ways now and forever
Is the one and only measure
Tales full of exaggerations
No more manipulations
And I think you are not funny
Your brain is just a bloated dummy
Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound

Why are you alone?

Adrian: Can I talk to you? I want to ask you something important and I want you to tell me the truth.
Rocky: What?
Adrian: Why did you come here?
Rocky: I just don't want it no more.
Adrian: If it's over because you want it to be over, I'm glad.
Rocky: I do.
Adrian: It's just... you've never quit anything since I know you.
Rocky: I don't know what you want me to say. I mean,I...what, what happen? How as everything that is so good is so bad?
Adrian: What's so bad? Tell me, what?
Rocky: I wrecked everything for not thinking for myself. I mean, Why couldn't Mickey tell me where I really was right from the start? I didn't need him to take care of me and lie to me for me to think that I was better when I wasn't.
Adrian: He never lied.
Rocky: Those fights weren't right. They weren't, Adrian.Never fought anybody that was on their prime. There was some angle to hold on to the title longer than I should had it. Do you understand what I'm sayin' here?
Adrian: I understand, but you got to understand that he loved you and that was his job, protecting you.
Rocky: Look, that protection doesn't help nothing. It all make things worse. You wake up after a few years thinking that you're a winner, but you're not. You're really a looser. And so I wouldn't kept the title so long, so what?! At least it would have been real, Adrian.
Adrian: It was real!
Rocky: Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!! I don't believe in myself no more, don't you understand? When a fighter don't believe, that's it! He's finished! That's it. It's over.
Adrian: That's not it!!
Rocky: That is it!
Adrian: Why don't you tell me the truth?!
Rocky: What are you putting me through, Adrian?!You want to know the truth?!The truth is, I don't wanna loose what I got. In the beginning I didn't care what happen to me. I could go to the ring, I get bust up, I didn't care!! But now there's you, there's the kid. I don't want to loose what I got!
Adrian: But what is that we have that can't be replaced? What?! A house, we got cars, we got money! We got everything but the truth. What's the truth, dammit?!
Rockiy: I'm afraid!!Alright?!Want to hear me say it?! Want to break me down? Alright, I'm afraid! For the first time in my life, I'm afraid.
Adrian: I'm afraid too. There's nothing wrong to be afraid.
Rocky: There is, for me, there is.
Adrian: Why? You're a human, aren't you?
Rocky: Look, I don't know what I am. All I know is that I'm a liar and because of that, Mickey isn't here no more.
Adrian: You didn't push into anything. He was a grown man and he did what he had to do. And you have no right for feeling guilty for what happened. You don't! You were a champion and you did what was expected of you to do. You did what I and everyone else thought you should do. And you're going to tell me that those fights weren't real? That you were carried? Well, I don't believe it! But it doesn't matter what I believe because you're the one that's got carry that fear around inside you. Afraid that everybody's going to take things away. Afraid that you'll be remembered as a coward, that you're not a man anymore. None of it's true. But it doesn't matter if I tell you, it doesn't matter because you're the one who's got to settle it. Get rid of it! Because when all the smoke is cleared and everyone stops chanting your name, there's just gona be us. And you can't live like this, we can't live like this because it's going to bother you for the rest of your life. Look what's doing to you now. Apollo thinks you can do it. So do I. But you got to want to do this for the right reasons. Not for the guilt over Mickey. not for the people, Not for the title, not for the money or me... but for you. Just you. Just you alone.
Rocky: And if I loose?
Adrian: Then you loose. But at least you loose with no excuses. No fear. And I know that you can live with that.
Rocky: How did you get so tough?
Adrian: I live with a fighter.
Rocky: I really love you. I love you.

Adrian: I understand, but you got to understand that he loved you and that was his job, protecting you.
Rocky: Look, that protection doesn't help nothing. It all make things worse. You wake up after a few years thinking that you're a winner, but you're not. You're really a looser. And so I wouldn't kept the title so long, so what?! At least it would have been real, Adrian.
Adrian: It was real!
Rocky: Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!! I don't believe in myself no more, don't you understand? When a fighter don't believe, that's it! He's finished! That's it. It's over.
Adrian: That's not it!!
Rocky: That is it!
Adrian: Why don't you tell me the truth?!
Rocky: What are you putting me through, Adrian?!You want to know the truth?!The truth is, I don't wanna loose what I got. In the beginning I didn't care what happen to me. I could go to the ring, I get bust up, I didn't care!! But now there's you, there's the kid. I don't want to loose what I got!
Adrian: But what is that we have that can't be replaced? What?! A house, we got cars, we got money! We got everything but the truth. What's the truth, dammit?!
Rockiy: I'm afraid!!Alright?!Want to hear me say it?! Want to break me down? Alright, I'm afraid! For the first time in my life, I'm afraid.
Adrian: I'm afraid too. There's nothing wrong to be afraid.
Rocky: There is, for me, there is.
Adrian: Why? You're a human, aren't you?
Rocky: Look, I don't know what I am. All I know is that I'm a liar and because of that, Mickey isn't here no more.
Adrian: You didn't push into anything. He was a grown man and he did what he had to do. And you have no right for feeling guilty for what happened. You don't! You were a champion and you did what was expected of you to do. You did what I and everyone else thought you should do. And you're going to tell me that those fights weren't real? That you were carried? Well, I don't believe it! But it doesn't matter what I believe because you're the one that's got carry that fear around inside you. Afraid that everybody's going to take things away. Afraid that you'll be remembered as a coward, that you're not a man anymore. None of it's true. But it doesn't matter if I tell you, it doesn't matter because you're the one who's got to settle it. Get rid of it! Because when all the smoke is cleared and everyone stops chanting your name, there's just gona be us. And you can't live like this, we can't live like this because it's going to bother you for the rest of your life. Look what's doing to you now. Apollo thinks you can do it. So do I. But you got to want to do this for the right reasons. Not for the guilt over Mickey. not for the people, Not for the title, not for the money or me... but for you. Just you. Just you alone.
Rocky: And if I loose?
Adrian: Then you loose. But at least you loose with no excuses. No fear. And I know that you can live with that.
Rocky: How did you get so tough?
Adrian: I live with a fighter.
Rocky: I really love you. I love you.

Midlife Crisis
07-01-2008
Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like lettuce
Go on dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving in
I'm thirty-something
Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis
Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you (you're only you)
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleeding enough for two
It's a midlife crisis.. It's a midlife crisis..
What an inheritance
The salt and the kleenex
Morbid self attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
Midlife Crisis
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you (you're only you)

Adrian: What are we gonna do?
Rocky: I don't know.
Adrian: You worked so hard.
Rocky: Yeah, that don't matter. 'Cause I was nobody before.
Adrian: Don't say that.
Rocky: Ah come on, Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I wasn't just another bum from the neighborhood.

I remember, every word you said
I'll remember all until my dying day
I can't forget just what you said meant
But I'll try my best still anyway
Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
I remember like it was yesterday
All my days were filled with joy
Then you came in lie a black cloud
And my happiness was destroyed
Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I dont
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I be too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but i can touch
These wounds that I can feel
It's another time in life
My old wounds have healed
That was then and this is now
And those things are now in the past
And I know no matter what
Some things weren't meant to last
Ever promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget

Who You Are

Frozen and broken
Don't know where you're going
Losing your identity
You're so caught up in hiding
But everybody sees
You're never gonna feel
You're never gonna heal
You're never gonna know what's fake or real
'Til you know who you are
You're lying to your face
And running in a race
You're never gonna win 'til you find your place
And you know who you are
You're crawling and falling
But no one hears you calling
When you're in a world of glass
'Til your bubble bursts
And the true you's first
You're always coming last
You take yourself apart
To medicate your pain
Why is it so hard
To believe in you again

Looking for the paradigm
So I can pass it off
Is it on my side
Is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride
Would you take it wrong
Or would you make it right
Looking for a pedestal
That I can put you on
And be on my way
Is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
Stop you're trying to bruise my mind
I can do it on my own
Stop you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time
If I'm hiding or I'm lost
But I'm on my way

JERRY: Oh, you didn't..
ELAINE: Well, he said he'd drive me here right after. So, I am sitting in his car twenty minutes! he doesn't come down. I am freezing. Then a cop comes by, tells me to get out of the car. He's a city marshal. He's towing the car away. Kramer owes thousands of dollars in back tickets. He was going to tow it with me in the car! So, they tow the car. Now, I am standing outside, and I am freezing, but I cannot leave because I have to tell him what happened to the car.. so, finally, he finally comes down with his giant cage filled with doves. He said he was getting special instructions, that each dove has a different diet. So, we're wandering around trying to get a cab, when two of these doves fly out! Now we're running down the street after these doves. I almost got hit by a bus. (Sits down, takes a deep breath) ..So how's everything going over here?

Silence, instead of confrontation. New lies, to cover up the
old. I want chaos, destroy in order to create. Release me, I'm
trying to move. Don't hold me back. No one's seen what I have
seen. No one's been where I have been. No, I wasn't born to
follow. You can't train me. Can't touch me, can't hurt me,
can't frame me, cut off my tongue, my mind still speaks.
