+++ the sun rises every morning, but you still feel incomplete,
+++ how can we compete with everybody and their dog?

everybody and their dog’s looking over their shoulder,
they’re tryin’ not to get older,
but that’s not an easy thing to do,
+++ no, you’re not alone, out diggin’ for a bone in the backyard of the stars,
+++ call me on a cell phone and teach me how to play guitar..
