Fight of ideas

Death Cab for Cutie

-excerpt from Soul Meets Body

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun rap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

Cause in my head there is a Greyhound station
Where I've sent my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place where
They're far more suited then here


-excerpt from The New Year

so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.
