No Place Like Home – Charlie Mars (with lyrics)
it’s so hot here inside
this mountain of questions
reasons why
we pour it over with a fine-toothed comb
it gets so hard to do it
to do it alone
alone
oh i long to sing that old song
in the house where i belong
oh there is no place
no place
no place like home
tonight i wanna leap tall buildings in a single bound
when i’m feeling like a stranger in this here town
it’s a great divide between a house and home
it gets so hard to do it
to do it alone
alone
oh i long to sing that old song
in the house where i belong
oh there is no place
no place
no place like home
is there a silver lining to the cold
is there a silver lining to the cold
a silver lining to the cold
to the cold
oh i long to sing that old song
in the house where i belong
oh there is no place
no place
no place like home
there is no place
no place
no place like home

Born Again
I had a dream last night where I wanted to fool someone into believing that I became a Scientologist. I borrowed Dianetics from the library and started reading so that I’d have some good talking points. I became enthralled with the book and started believing it. Got scared and decided I needed to go to church. Became a born-again Catholic.

I am going to hell.

Happiness
Happiness is like LSD: It’s something I dabbled with in my youth and every now and then I’ll have a brief flashback.
Lost in Translation
Heard an interesting song in German, thought it my be poignant… still not sure.
Tocotronic’s “I’m Zweifel Fur Den Zweifel” via Google Translate:
When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform
When in doubt, for doubt
And for the puberty
If in doubt against togetherness
And normativity
When in doubt, for doubt
And against all restraint
in doubt for the devil
And the unbridled urge
When in doubt, for the bitterness
And my hot tears
Leaden is my time
And yet I must mention:
If in doubt for aimlessness
My people, hear me call!
If in doubt for discord
And for the intermediate
When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform
If in doubt for pampering
And for my crack
For the extreme fragility
For a will like wax
When in doubt, for the hybrid
From distant spheres
When in doubt, for trembling
At the sight of the chimeras
When in doubt, for the bitterness
And my hot tears
Leaden is my time
Remains for me to mention:
If in doubt for aimlessness
My people, hear me call!
If in doubt for discord
And for the intermediate
When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform
When in doubt, for doubt
And the Incomprehensibly
For the inner contrition
If you show the teeth
When in doubt, for folding
Prior entire room
My life is disruption
My existence scandal
When in doubt, for the bitterness
And my hot tears
Leaden is my time
And yet I must mention:
If in doubt for aimlessness
My people, hear me call!
If in doubt for discord
And for the intermediate
When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform
When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
