..Seen Lust, Seen Love...
If the Mayans are to be believed tomorrow is the big day. What is your favorite song referencing the end of the world? Mine is as follows.
Desperados Under the Eaves
I was sitting at the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna' drink um up...
And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing
Until I pay my bill...
Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves...
Still waking up in the morning with shaking hands
And I'm trying to find a girl that understands me
But except in dreams you're really never free
Don't the sun look angry at me...
I was sitting at the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
It went Mmm, Mmm, Mmm...
