I have no idea what that means, but it's something from an old old Moby song. It's just over and over "The drug fits the face The drug fits the face The drug fits the face ..." ad nauseum. That has nothing to do with anything, though.

I'm on cold medicine and I took too much, so I made up a song. It started out like this; I was listening to G Love and the Special Sauce on the bus on the way to work, and these lyrics I made up would kinda fit the tune of "She's Got Sauce."

I don't know if I'll remember them in a hour, so I though I'd immortalize them here on the cult:

[I]I’m a space case, yep, sick with a cold in the head
Least that’s what the nurse said.
She gave me some drugs, and now I watch my legs,
Walkin’ straight across the room, yo, but that’s okay.

I never mess with the crack, the smack or the meth
DayQuill, be-yacth, yeah, s’what I dig best.
Took a little break from the surface of the room.
Feelin’ just a bit like Alice in a mirror, eatin’ shrooms.[/I]

Then I just kept going, don't tell me you ain't tappin your feet....

[I]I’m a hard rock song with the speakers on mute,
Try my best to sing along, make friends with a brute.
Selling soul to the highest bidder, makin’ ends meet,
Singin’ on the street corner, yo, listen for the beat

Of my jazz band powered by a rubber band
Hip to the groove and, beatin’ on the ground and,
Walking like blind man, limpin on a wooden leg,
Talking like a salesman, pimpin shit that’s home made.

Never see me coming, then watchin’ as I go.
Wishing you was something like a T V show,
That’s based on reality, based on a tragedy,
Based on the facts of a fictional mystery.

Built by woman with feather in her hair,
Sung by a boys choir, floatin’ through the air.

Yeah I’m too sick to work, but I’m too high to walk,
To the bus stop, take the 94 for to my front door.
So I guess I’ll just write a chill tune,
In the meantime, cause what the hell else can I do?
[/I]

I write good shit when I'm on cold medicine and lacking sleep.

Dig.

Now stop staring, my hands are cold.

Oh yeah. It's gross. I have this Jewellery phobia and it reminds me of a silver thing. I don't like it. I might have to put you on ignore.

more lyrics, put 'em in your head.

[I]Fallin’ off the edge of the moment,
Wonder where the tone went,
Sing, but don’t worry ‘bout content.

Never listened to voices in my head,
Till I learned pig-latin,
Now it’s full speed ahead.

Take a va-ca-tion from communication,
Take my generation to the destination,
Follow di-rec-tions to the reservation,
Open up your eyes, son, join the celebration.

The subliminal messiah, I’m a self made man,
Right behind you third eye, a little help-in’ hand,
Never know I’m here, never know you can’t live without,
Till I disappear, leave you with a shadow of a doubt...
That's now in the shape of a broken wing,
I’m not supposed to sing,
You know that’s the thing.
But the words, they ring
As my git-ar string,
Is the only thing,
Worth listening.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy the show,
Never had it so good as when you take it slow.
Dig.[/I]

I'll set it all to music tonight. I'm just finishing up the third verse.

Any news on the Soundtrack? Can't wait to have a real group for musicians, I'm totally stoked.

so here's the final version of this little ditty.

I'm gonna totally write the tune tonight.

I’m a hard rock song with the speakers on mute,
Try my best to sing along, make friends with a brute.
Selling soul to the highest bidder, makin’ ends meet,
Singin’ on the street corner, yo, listen for the beat

of my Jazz band powered by a rubber band
Hip to the groove and, beatin’ on the ground and,
Walking like a blind man limpin on a wooden leg,
Talking like a salesman pimpin shit that’s home made.

Never see me coming, then watchin’ as I go.
Wishing you was something like a T V show,
That’s based on reality, based on a tragedy,
Based on the facts of a fictional mystery.

Built by woman with feather in her hair,
Sung by a boys choir, floatin’ through the air.

Yeah I’m too sick to work, but I’m too high to walk,
To the bus stop, take the 94 for to my front door.
So I guess I’ll just write a chill tune,
In the meantime, cause what the hell else can I do?

So kick back, relax, and enjoy the show,
Never had it so good as when you take it slow.

Dig.

Fallin’ off the edge of the moment,
Wonder where the tone went,
Sing, but don’t worry ‘bout content.

Never listened to voices in my head,
Till I learned pig-latin,
Now it’s full speed ahead.

Take a va-ca-tion from communication,
Take my generation to the destination,
Follow di-rec-tions to the reservation,
Open up your eyes, son, join the celebration.

The subliminal messiah, I’m a self made man,
Right behind you third eye, a little help-in’ hand,
Never know I’m here, never know you can’t live without,
Till I disappear, leave you with a shadow of a doubt,
That’s now in the shape of a broken wing,
I’m not supposed to sing, you know that’s the thing.
But the words, they ring, as my guit-ar string,
Is the only thing, worth listening.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy the show,
Never had it so good as when you take it slow.

Dig.

So don’t ask me, ladies, where I’ll be in year,
Cause I’ll only shrug it off with a “don’t know, don’t care.”

S’nothin’ personal, never meant to hurt your pride.
It’s universal, I come and go like the tide.

I’m a ramblin’ man, I stay anywhere I can,
I never look back, understand?

So if you got a jones for the Jones’
Leave me alone, cause
This ain’t your bone, dig?
Cause I could care less about the status quo,
I got a second-hand jam, says “I told you so.”

Pick a smooth little riff, and catchy little hook,
Got your best friend’s all comin’ back for a second look.
You never heard a me, yeah, I heard what you said.
But now I’m gonna be, the song that’s stuck inside your head.

Man, I got nothin’ but blues tonight,
Six pack, six strings, and a mike.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy the show,
Never had it so good as when you take it slow.

Dig

I'm always interested in the chemicals an artist takes. After reading the above, I'm curious as to what cold medication you're taking. I like it, man. Lester Bangs drank fucking Romilar--I don't think they even make that shit anymore--and Elvis used to stuff cotton balls soaked in liquid cocaine up his nose, and I'm presently afflicted with illness and am drinking Hycotuss, aka Entuss, aka Protuss, aka hydrocodone (mmm...) and guaifenesin (eh, Robitussin, basically). Good writings/lyrics--what is the chemical inspiration?

By the way, hope you feel better.
