You and me, we were the pretenders
we let it all slip away
in the end, what you don't surrender,
well, the world just strips away.

After a fantastic extended wa wa intro a very simple:
"It was the 3rd of September...."
and this:
Do you remember, the twenty-first night of September?
In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
One, two, three, four...!
-every Ramones song ever, at least live.
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH!
She used to work in a diner,
Never saw a woman look finer,
I used to order just to watch her float across the floor
I walked 47 miles on barbed wire
Cobra snake for a necktie
Built a house by the roadside
Made of rattlesnake hide
He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
If it keeps on raining, levee's gonna break.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
refer elsewhere.

Early one morning while makin the rounds,
I took a shot of cocaine, and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin .44 beneath my head... "Cocaine Blues" Johnny Cash

Best secular?
I've flown around the world in a plane,
I've settled revolutions in Spain,
The north pole I have charted.
but I can't get started with you
Wanna tell you story
About woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
42-39-56
You could say she's got it all
Sometimes, you're better off dead...
there's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head.
