The pink pills are for your sanity
We are buried in the earth because we can’t beat gravity
You are still here and so made to figure
You are an important part of the computer
Born of the sea, blink
The sea is dead
Falls out of me these sockets in my head
Everyone’s a captain baby, ship of fools
Drowning while they’re telling you it’s been all right
Dream the dream of your attrition
The nameless name of your condition
It will be needing you a little while longer
You are an important part of the computer
After this mission it will let you go
Help you to forget everything and everyone you know
In a wold of captains baby, ship of fools
Don’t you know they’re lying when they’re telling you it’s been all right?
Some of the lyrics are not there, sadly, but the bulk of the song is. I’ll also see if I can find the radio mix of the song. It’s quite different, but really well done.
What drawings were on the CD? I really don’t remember any.
I’m sure that would be a good song to skate to. Did I send you the song “Weapon”? I think it would also be fitting. It’s wonderfully instrumented (and there is an instrumantal version available that I have) thought the lyrics are not as strong.
“Weapon”
Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it’s Heaven
Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it, again
Here by my side, it’s Heaven
Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain’t so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out
For it ain’t so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Careful, be careful
Here by my side, it’s Heaven
Oh, I think I remember the drawings some now. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

::cums in my pants because you made a Matthew Good reference::
Wow, I didn’t think anyone would get quite that excited.
Haha, alright. I admit that was a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea.
I do, however, plan to drive all the way up to Canada from here in Indiana once he strikes back out on tour so I can see him play live.
Cool. 🙂 I’ve seen Matt perform live twice, once as Matthew Good Band and once in solo-artist form (though he had a great band playing with him).
What is that line from?
You mean “Near Fantastica”?

I’ll have to make you a Matt Good CD or two sometime soon then. He has a lot of really great songs.
Yeah, Weapon would work well, especially because it has some beautiful strings.
🙂 Aw, I’m so glad the letter and drawings make you smile. The card you sent me two Christmases ago resides in a similar box of my own.
