Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you'd never been All the things that you've seen Will slowly fade away So I'll start the revolution from my bed Cos you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows if it's night or day Please don't put your life in the hands Of a Rock n Roll band Who'll throw it all away Gonna start the revolution from my bed 'Coz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face 'Coz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away "But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger" I heard you say, "at least not today"

    Trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and see what I get?....bupkis.... If all else fails.... Play Dead.....Sarge...hit it..... Gazing at the fire, burning by the water Before he speaks the world around us quiets. With eyes as sharp as arrows and turning to the fire He clears the air and cuts it with a feather. Many in a circle slowly 'round the fire When he is gone I want to know him better. No one is forsaken, no one is a liar, He plants the tree of life on our foreheads with water. He hums, there are drums, four winds, rising suns, We are singing and playing, I hear him saying. I remember breezes from winds inside your body keep me high, like I told you, I'll sing to them this story and know why. See ya gotta think outside the box.....

    I was done crying for now... or so I thought. So much for distraction. I can stay melancholy longer than your average person... Picked my clothes up, grabbed my suitcase Never looked back at the look on your face I just took off drivin' There's gotta be someplace I could go to Help me forget about how much I love you Maybe Dallas, San Antone, a two lane highway all alone Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Got the radio up the petal pushed down The night wind blowin' my tears around Gotta get back where I used to be But I'm racin' with your memory Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Sometimes in Texas ain't nothing out there A man could get lost headed for nowhere That's where I'm goin' without you At least the long nights won't desert me If I got nobody ain't nobody gonna hurt me Hello honey, it's been a long time I'm out of her life and out of my mind Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Got the radio up the petal pushed down The night winds a-blowin' my tears around Gotta get back where I used to be But I'm racin' with your memory Drivin' and a-cryin', drivin' and a-cryin' Drivin' and a-cryin' Oh Cryin', Cryin', Cryin', Cryin'...

    ....just making sure the adrenaline is still flowin'..... Take time to grieve, but don't let life pass you by while you do..... You will never get it back..... Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone. Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you. I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song, I just can't remember who to send it to. I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again. Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand. You've just got to see me through another day. My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again. Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun. Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around. Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come. Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now. Thought I'd see you one more time again. There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now. Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now. Let your tears water the gardens of your soul..... Reduce, reuse, recycle .....

    @ life goes on
    The show must go on as well. I'm OK just swimming in melancholy. I need some more loving deadhead vibes to see me through. Can we go back to the circus? It began when they come took me from my home And put me in Dead Row, Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know. And I'll say it again I.. am.. not.. afraid.. to.. die. I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields, A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. Interpret signs and catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog. The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind. They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath gathering at my hind I hear stories from the chamber How Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger Died upon the cross And might I say, it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told Like my good hand tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. In Heaven His throne is made of gold The ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold. Down here it's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away. Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye So I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied. My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D. 'Tis a long-suffering shackle Collaring all that devil blood. And the mercy seat is a-burning And I think my head is flowing And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this weighing up of truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway, there was no proof And nor a motive why. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. A life for a life And a tooth for a tooth And anyway there was no proof And I'm not afraid to die. Now the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is smoking And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all these looks of disbelief. A eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. A eye for a eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth But I'm not afraid to lie. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth But I'm afraid I told a lie.

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
