cause down the shore everything's all right
Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.
Fame, on its best day, is kind of like a friendly wave from a stranger by the side of the road. And when it's not so good, it's like a long walk home, all alone, with nobody in when you get there.
Me and crazy Janey were making love in the dirt singing our birthday songs.
Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely, hey, that's me and I want you only.
I don't like to write rhetorically or get on a soapbox. I try to make the stuff multi-layered, so that it always has a life outside its social context. I don't believe that you can tell people anything; you can only draw them in.
