Talking fast + losing sleep, taking notes on another dose, and lie awake into the day, little Charlie Comatose...and in my dream, I filled the sky: Sheena got so loaded she just don't know what to do with herself...it's a sad state of things, this sad of things wagging the tail of a night on the town...we get the weather every five minutes...to be safe, a raincoat is recommended, a full body toxic suit and an after-hour brute...I was on the green when we saw the mushroom cloud, only had a minute so I hit it, birdie on nine, I was doing fine, and we drove on the 10th hole as the wave rolled in.

14. 'You give us 22 minutes we'll give you the world.'
15. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Etc. Etc. Etc.
17. These songs are diverting you from other topics of worth.
18. Vinyl is dead. These songs go out to vinyl, a format which served us well for many years.
19. "We are all here. We are all dead." (H.M.O)
21. Fancy pants on/Fag in your mouth/I won't be without a car always.
22. "If you don't know what's going on, you must not have a television." RRR

There is no quality, said dick, in a stupor, at the mart..."You just break a twenty and the shit is gone, magically...sifted right out of you pocket, and what's to show?"...We all looked around and it was true, it seemed he had nothing to show for it...Nothing but the slight chemical alteration which was all but unnoticeable, especially to those who did not know him to begin with.

27. "You buy the candy, I'll stick to vice" sang blow up, we could barely see through the thick glass...amazed as always at his eloquence of delivery.

26. The lyrics of these songs are available @ $10/min. - 1-900-HOT-GVSB

  YA GOTTA TASTE ALL THE FRUIT (Tribute to Mae West inextricably soldered to the hood of Denver Nightlife circa: late 80's), an ornament of beauty and class - a windshield of scum under the big sky entertainment, having the effect of searching the moon for a soft spot...it's a car town. Full to the neck as you sink into the grooved pavement like a train to train tracks, wholesale Depressants, A Nod to the AM Easy Days, Chicago seems around the corner, at the end of the Denver Loop (Elevated) and we truly entertaining ourselves now...

  AND WHEN I ARRIVED/YOU WERE ALREADY INSANE/ AND WHEN I LANDED I SPOKE WITH THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT/AT THE TROPIC OF SCORPIO/THEY SAID NOW BABY YOU HAVE COME HOME/INTO MY NIGHT/THIS IS MY NIGHT (of Pleasure): It does not exist, like the Bermuda Triangle (we speculate), Latitudes and Longitudes of Pleasure. The Pleasure Traders. The Mud Jacking Contractors, in an automobile...wired to the gills. They are not looking for millennium sex at the end of the rainbow but more in the order of love, child, and conveineince (mispelled) WHEN THE CASSETTE BREAKS/THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW/AND WHEN THE CAR BREAKS? (what is there then to do?) In the immortal words of the Tube (The New Frontier), "Pleasure, Your Pleasure, Is Our Only Business." "You're Not Only Right, You're Close." MY NIGHT OF PLEASURE (The delegation of a certain night, specifically, as 'your' night, in which everything nice is done for you by others, and you are the MVP - most valuable player - of the evening...) IN THE REALM OF THE VALUE NEUTRALS.

  Q: "Its Friday Night, Honey, You know what that means."
  A: "Let's take the Super Colossal Car Crushing Bigfoot."
