important things

 

“FREE” IS OKAY BY ME

BURY YOURSELF IN A LITTLE HOLE

UP TO YOUR NECK YOU’RE HALFWAY WHOLE

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SOME ROCK AND ROLL

REHEARSE YOURSELF AND YOU LOSE CONTROL

I NEED TO CONSOLE

 

HOW BOUT A LITTLE TOUCH

MAYBE A LITTLE SMILE

THAT’S A BIT TOO MUCH

LAUGHING ALL THE WHILE

 

THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS

 

DREAM…BUT DON’T DREAM OF ME

DANCE A LITTLE TO UNDERSTAND

FLEETING ROMANCE AND YOU’RE “HOLDING HANDS”

TAKE A CHANCE WITH THE MASTER PLANS

THE REAL ADVANCE IS WITH YOUR REAL FRIENDS

 

THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS

 

BLEED, NO MEMORIES

THE ROLLER RINK AND THE FRENCHMAN’S PATH

YOUR FIRST DRINK AND THE AFTERMATH

YOU’RE GONE IN A BLINK…NOW THAT’S MAGIC MATH

LEMME THINK ON THIS PHOTOGRAPH

LET’S GET THE LAST LAUGH

 

I’D SEIZE THE DAY BUT MY HANDS WERE TIED

SEEK A CONVICTION BUT NEVER TRIED

ABSOLUTION ES TUT MIR LEID

A MIRROR SOLUTION BEFORE WE DIE

 

THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS

 

thoughts

there are a couple of key spots (flash points) in our lives that we gravitate toward in a state of melancholy... the roller rink was one such spot in mine...most flash points are shared with friends, or they become friends after passing through the points...

the construction sounds were unintentional in the break, but take on significance on that fact alone...yes, that is a German quote in the final verse..you tell me why for...
