wicked little town
You know, the sun is in your eyesAnd hurricanes and rains
And black and cloudy skies.
You're running up and down that hill.
You turn it on and off at will.
There's nothing here to thrill
Or bring you down.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town.
The fates are vicious and they're cruel.
You learn too late you've used two wishes like a fool
And then you're someone you are not,
And Junction City ain't the spot,
Remember Mrs. Lot
when she turned around.
~Hedwig and the Angry Inch, one of my favorite movies

i haven't seen this movie but i loved what you wrote
that reminds me of one of my favorite songs:
ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
waiting for someone or something to show you the way
tired of lying in the sunshine
staying home to watch the rain
but you are young and life is long
and there is time to kill today
and then one day you find
ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun
so you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
shorter of breath
and one day closer to death
every year is getting shorter
never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught
or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation
is the english way
the time is gone
the song is over
thought i'd something more to say
chloe: watch the movie!!! the stage show is coming to juneau actually in january, and i'm so excited.
moondog: who sings that song?
