=============================================================



I'm not afraid

Of anything in this world

There's nothing you can throw at me

That I haven't already heard



I'm just trying to find

A decent melody

A song that I can sing

In my own company

I'm a loner. Always have been. Always will be. Or so I thought. Turns out God didn't like that plan and sent a cute little bruntette after me to change my mind. Fuckin' fate. Bizzare. See, she wedged her cute little self into the back of my trailer, and instead of leaveing her on the road, like I would have with most people, I took her with me into the truck.

Don't know why the hell I did it. It just felt right. I'm more animal most of the time, so I've learned to follow my instincts. Having Marie with me feels more right than anything else ever has in this world. I didn't question it, just accepted it.

Then the little punk started asking me more questions than a damn reporter. I answered all of 'em, which was the wierd part. She even ate all my food, and instead of being pissed about that I thought it was cute. I don't even like that word much, but it suits Marie. Everything about her is cute. Her attitude, her smile, her face, hell she's the definition of that word.

So we were driving across the country, flirting or teasing, whatever, when out of nowhere this big fuckin' tree hits poor Jeff (my truck). When you travel around as much as I do, with no real attachments you're bound to give inanimite objects names. Makes them more important somewhow. Anyway, Jeff got whacked, and I went throuhg the windshield. Obviously something was up, cause trees don't just jump out at ya every day. So, I was lying on the ground with a big fuckin' headache, when this giant pussycat leaps out at me. I thought he was going to go after my gi- Marie, so I had to get up and kick some ass.

Next thing I know is I'm in a fuckin' lab. I hate labs more than words can ever say. This doctor was tryin' to stick something in my arm so I jumped her. Felt bad later, she was only trying to help. Anyway,



I never thought you were a fool

But darling look at you

You gotta stand up straight

Carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere baby





You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And now you can't get out of it



Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



I will not forsake

The colors that you bring

The nights you filled with fireworks

They left you with nothing



I am still enchanted

By the light you brought to me

I listen through your ears

Through your eyes I can see



And you are such a fool

To worry like you do

I know it's tough

And you can never get enough

Of what you don't really need now

My, oh my



You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



Oh love, look at you now

You've got yourself stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



I was unconscious, half asleep

The water is warm 'til you discover how deep



I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall

It's a long way down to nothing at all



You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if our way should falter

Along the stony pass



And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if your way should falter

Along this stony pass



It's just a moment

This time will pass
