Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor

(my favorite stalker song) It's an oldie from late 60s-early 70s

[KamaAina]

[Servo300]

23. Repost: anybody know this one?

Hey, there, mister madman
Whatcha know that I don't know?

Tell me, what made you that way?

Hold me darling just a little while

The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing

I remember how the darkness doubled,
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain...

32. "I was standing on the leading edge

The eastern seaboard before spread before my eyes.
"Jump" said Yoko Ono
"But I'm to scared and too good looking" I cried.
"Go on" she said, "Why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony? All men must die."
