the reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity — it's envy. life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. but life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.

for some reason, the most vocal christians among us never mention the beatitudes. but, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the ten commandments be posted in public buildings... "blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "blessed are the peacemakers" in the pentagon? give me a break!

lyrics.

we made love on the living room floor
with the noise in the background of a televised war
and in the deafening pleasure i thought i heard someone say
"if they walk away we'll walk away"
...
you'll be free child once you have died
from the shackles of language and measurable time
and then we can trade places, play musical graves
'til then walk away
-- landlocked blues, the bright eyes
