"Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me. Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial. A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice, a candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss"

Today is the greatest Day I've ever known Can't live for tomorrow, Tomorrow's much too long I'll burn my eyes out Before I get out I wanted more Than life could ever grant me Bored by the chore Of saving face

"We are the lovers, we are bound to one another By a bond that is invisible yet stronger still than time. And we're locked into the motion that moves beneath the ocean. Rolling toward the future that makes pain the only crime. Now I know you are the answer. You're the damsel and the dancer The angel with the devil eyes that knows about the beat. You remove the masks and faces and you see the shadowed places That only witches look for in the cradle of the heat."
- Harry Chapin, "Legends of the Lost and Found"

You disappeared in the darkness of the night I wanted to follow you but dark waves made to stop me Well, this is me I'm the fallen angel It must have been an angel with broken wings --BlutEngel, "Soul of Ice"

"And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding The poem across the tracks rebounding Shadowed by the exit light His legs take their ascending flight To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night."

I felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountains as the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles Times when I tried to jump the tracks, the weight of the world upon my back Still, after all is said and done This train still runs.
It doesn't matter where it's gone, this train still runs and though the baggage weighs a ton we carry on Nothing is forever young, and I'm not done This train still runs.
--"This Train Still Runs," Janis Ian and Jess Leary

"Hey where did we go Days when the rains came Down in a hollow Playin' a new game Laughin' and a runnin' Skippin' and a jumpin' In the misty mornin' fog Ah with our hearts a thumpin' Was you my brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl"

I get you ready for the break down. I'm the feeling inside you that just wants to explode. I never sugarcoat a shake down. So empty all your pockets of the things that you think you know.

Curled up in the corner Of a dark and empty room Looking out my window, I stare up at the moon Glimpses of the faces and Voices down the hall I listen for the whisper As the Spirit starts to fall And I need to see you there.

"The mirror on my wall Casts an image dark and small But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection. I am blinded by the light Of God and truth and right And I wander in the night without direction.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end, And flowers never bend With the rainfall. "

Mike, that is the song I wanted to post right there (can you say Telepathetic?), but Internet Exploder crashed on me.
I think I just posted this one a couple days ago, but I couldn't resist:
"Cloudy My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy, They have no borders, no boundaries. They echo and they swell From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell. Down from Berkeley to Carmel. Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill."

Make his fight on the hill in the early day, Constant chill deep inside. Shouting gun on they run through the endless grey, On they fight for they are right yes but who's to say For a hill men would KILL why they do not know Suffered wounds test their pride. Men of five still alive through the raging glow, Gone insane from the pain that they surely know.
Metallica, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

"The metaphysic wrinkles in the face of what you face Are hidden by the fake-up man Who lives inside the sterno can beside you Now climb ye to the mountains As the sun is almost gone Escaping from your other selves Your brothers hide among the shelves inside you The games that people play can only bore you But only those that know you don't ignore you How many times have I come there to restore you And caught you lying on the couch with father time?"

And for same topic but completely different tempo:
Some sprint to snatch the prize in My goal's the far horizon I guess I'm obsessed With that long slow distance. The fleet of feet won't please you All speed, they love and leave you Not me, as you see, I love long slow distance.
