There's always a nice tune [on radio] - helps you get the dishes done . I like to get the news from time to time - not too often. I don't feel deprived.

I told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

God is alive. Magic is afoot. God is alive. Magic is afoot. God is afoot. Magic is alive. Alive is afoot. Magic never died. God never sickened. Many poor men lied. Many sick men lied. Magic never weakened. Magic never hid. Magic always ruled. God is afoot. God was ruler though his funeral lengthened. Though his mourners thickened Magic never fled.

And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moths.

Ring the bells that still can ring.

The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
