Lyrics for current mood

[Longhorn]

There was a time when songs expressed how I felt accurately. I felt hopeless when they stopped, but even now something rings a bell once in a while.

Self-explanatory, I think.

You're the highlight of my lowlife...

I'm at work on a webex right now. This is running through my head:

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape a lot of success
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess
Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue
I'm betting the gorilla will, too

They say Jesus will find you wherever you go
But when He'll come looking for you, they don't know
In the mean time, keep your profile low
Gorilla, you're a desperado

He built a house on an acre of land
He called it 'Villa Gorilla'
I hear he's getting divorced
Laying low at L'Ermitage, of course

Then the ape grew very depressed
Went through Transactional Analysis
He plays racquetball and runs in the rain
Still he's shackled to a platinum chain

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place.

- Warren Zevon

[Rev. Rye]

Well, there's this song by Chicago:


Are you optimistic 'bout the way things are going?
No, I never ever think of it at all

Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down?

No, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all

When it's time to function as a feeling human being
Will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by?

I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high

Will you try to change things
Use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas?

What is this power you speak of and this need for things to change?
I always thought that everything was fine

Don't you feel repression just closing in around?
No, the campus here is very, very free

Don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on?
Well, I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know

Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain?

I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
But my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time

Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come

Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine





"We can make it happen," those are the words I find myself saying when I realise I know how to do something I've been apprehensive about.

[Longhorn]

It's fun to lose and to pretend

---

I think about the end just way too much,
But it's fun to fantasize

[Longhorn]

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you... loving you
I won't let you pull me down

---

---

I need to kill you
That's the only way to get you out of my head
I really wanna kill you
Wipe you off the face of my earth
