CLOSER TO FINE by The Indigo Girls
from their self titled CD
maybe give me insight between black and white and the best thing you've ever done for me is to help me take my life less seriously it's only life after all yeah
well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable and lightness has a call that's hard to hear i wrap my fear around me like a blanket i sailed my ship of safety till I sank it i'm crawling on your shores
i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less i seek my source for some definitive the closer i am to fine the closer i am to fine
and i went to see the doctor of philosophy with a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee he never did marry or see a b-grade movie he graded my performance, he said he could see through me i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind got my paper and i was free
i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line the less i seek my source for some definitive the closer i am to fine the closer i am to fine
i stopped by the bar at 3 a.m. to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend and i woke up with a headache like my head against a board twice as cloudy as i'd been the night before and i went in seeking clarity.
i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains we look to the children, we drink from the fountains yeah we go to the bible, we go through the workout we read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line the less i seek my source for some definitive the closer i am to fine the closer i am to fine the closer i am to fine

Nightswimmingby R.E.M.
The photograph on the dash board taken years ago. turn around backwards so the windshield shows every streetlight reveals a picture in reverse -- still it's so much clearer. i forgot my shirt at the water's edge. the moon is low tonight...
Nightswimming, deserves a quiet night i'm not sure all these people understand. it's not like years ago. the fear of getting caught; the recklessness of water they cannot see me naked. these things they go away, replaced by every day. night swimming..remembering that night september's coming soon I'm pining for the moon And what if there were two? Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun the bright, tight forever-drum cannot describe night swimming
you, i thought I knew you you i cannot judge you, i thought you knew me this one laughing quietly underneath my breath. Nightswimming...
the photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder Nightswimming deserves a quiet night... deserves a quiet night...
