Wisdom is the retention of innocence through adversity.

OK - the Hooters pic in the Register/Star: I only like #3, the dark-haired girl.

Oh - do you know the grass/grounds of Rockford College are profusely littered with Goose guano?

HEY - go see kamigirl25's icon!

And - the most weird and coolest dream ever can be found at two_tone, Febr. 6. REALLY!

If you don't care about the art of lyric-writing, then maybe skip this. But I love the lyrics in these Belly songs. Believe it or not, they actaully mean REAL stuff. And the first one is my fav Belly song.

Now They'll Sleep

Now I've lost the plot
I'm not the hero I could be
But not the dog I was
Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie
Color my fast fading heart
People laugh at anything
And things just fall apart

Kind of common cry
Kind of commom living lie
You know the shape my breath will take
Before I let it out
Stand like you did
When I was beauty marked in your eyes

Now eyes burn circles in the dark
And when the mirror talks to me
I listen with my heart
Kind of commom cry
Kind of common living lie
You know the shape my breath will take
Before I let it out
Stand like you did
When I was beauty marked in your eyes
Stand like you did
When I was beauty marked in your eyes



Super-Connected

On your third broken window
Your hair full of glass
Throw your clothes in the hallway
Just a sheet on your back
So you're super-connected now
All the freaks gather round
And the crowd in your bedroom waits
For a piece of your personal space

Are there heartstrings connected
To the wings you got slapped on your back?
Better climb in the window 'cause I'm closing the door

On your third broken window
With your hair full of glass
Saw your clothes in the hallway
Just a cuirtain on your back
(I laugh)

Are there heartstrings connected
To the wings you got slapped on your back?
Better climb in a window 'cause I'm closing the door

Now I'm spinning on a dime
Like you claim to do
Like right now
Like now

Are there heartstrings connected
To the poison coming out of your mouth
Are you super-connected
Are you super-connected now

I'm spinning on a dime
Throw your clothes in the hallway
And I'm closing the door




Slow Dog

Near the backroad
There's a dog will run out
Who can see her spit up leaves a dog won't
even touch
Come to shoot that dog long ago
Just can't leave that dog alone

Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again with his
see-thru skin, the kinda skin you can see
through

He's shot again, he's shot again
He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah)
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Heal me by a river
Man retires his wife says but she was so
sad and sick
His heart breaks in the mud
Gotta leave this world by 21
Couldn't leave that dog alone

Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again with his
see-thru skin, the kinda skin you can see
through

He's shot again, he's shot again
He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah)
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
Maria carry you on her back



Feed The Tree

This old man I've talked about
Broke his own heart
Poured it in the ground
Big red tree grew up and out
Throws up its leaves
And spins round and round

I know all this and more
So take your hat off
When you're talkin' to me
And be there when
I feed the tree

This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs
They put silver where her teeth had been
Baby silver tooth, she grins and wins

I know all this and more
So take your hat off
When you're talkin' to me
And be there when
I feed the tree

This old man I used to be
Spins around, around
Around the tree
Silver baby, come to me
I'll only hurt you
In my dreams

I know all this and more
So take your hat off boy
When you're talkin' to me
And be there when
I feed the tree
