Dean and Davis cigarette
His candle lit, the sky for rent
Well, there’s a New York boy in Maryland,
And I know he’s sweeping up stardust.

The King of Brief and Beautiful,
Walking barefoot off the ledge,
He told me he saw the light
And it told him he was welcome.

We shed some tears, you and I
The butterfly, the looking-glass eyes,
He’ll always be their glory,
And us, we’ll always be.

My New York boy traveled green plains
To become a man with tickets to heaven,
This is a big city kid, he’ll say
When I surprise him on some January day.

Yeah, he said he’d hold the ladder
While I reached for perfect stars,
I love it so when his eyes are on me
And he’ll follow me to the moon.

We shed some tears, you and I
The butterfly, the looking-glass eyes,
He’ll always be their glory,
And us, we’ll always be.



Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world.
