about

"I come to a red light, tempted to go through it, then stop once I see a billboard sign that I don’t remember seeing and I look up at it. All it says is ‘Disappear Here’ and even though it’s probably an ad for some resort, it still freaks me out a little and I step on the gas really hard and the car screeches as I leave the light."

--- From Less Than Zero, by Bret Easton Ellis

lyrics

You don't need to read the signs
You've run these streets a million times
You wander 'round like you've gone blind
The darkness fills your empty mind

It don't seem close but it can't be far
You dream of a familiar bar
In an unfamiliar parking lot
Just sitting in your car

I wonder why my clothes don't fit me
Just waiting for the wall to hit me
The lights are bright and the girls are pretty
When you're lost in the city

I'm minding my own business
But I don't know what it is
I can't keep track anymore
Of what is hers or his

This temporary sanity
Is driving me insane
I can't tell what I like worse
The numbness or the pain

Chorus

You can feel them closing in
The walls inside your head
And you know that you should keep your eye on the ball
But you watch cheerleaders instead

Reaching out for one last grasp, for someone to commit me
First she will, then she won't, but she did, then she don't anymore
When you're lost in the city

The doctor and the astronaut
Sat down at the restaurant
They ordered up a Siamese storm
The doctor paid the bill

Doc I guess it's time to go
I got too high and I sank too low
David had Goliath
And it seems we've had our fill

Chorus
