Turbulent Innuendo

SONG OF NOW

Here on these cliffs of Dover
So high you can't see over
And while your head is spinning
Hold tight, it's just beginning

You come from parents wanton
A childhood rough and rotten
I come from wealth and beauty
Untouched by work or duty

And, oh, my love, my love...
And, oh, my love, my love...
We both go down together

I found you a tattooed tramp
A dirty daughter from the labor-camps
I laid you down in the grass of a clearing
You wept, but your soul was willing

And, oh, my love, my love...
And, oh, my love, my love...
We both go down together

And my parents will never consent to this love
But I hold your hand

Meet me on my vast veranda
My sweet, untouched Miranda
And while the seagulls are crying,
We fall but our souls are flying

And, oh, my love, my love...
And, oh, my love, my love...
And, oh, my love, oh my love...
And, oh, my love, my love...
We both go down... together...


~ The Decemberists, We Both Go Down Together

Name:
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

I'm that nice black dude who is friends with everyone, who dresses in Roca Wear and Nike, yet lives in the richest-assed neighborhood ever, that listens to things varying from Coltrane to Modest Mouse to DJ Taka, and who is both emo and cheerful at the same time. In short, I'm just plain crazy.
