  • How Can I Tell If This Works?

    But if you happen to be,
    no more than twenty three,
    and a little excited,
    and a little like me...
    If you're a little revved-up,
    and a little chalked-down -
    if you flew south for the winter,
    but stayed here for the sound;
    whether you fought tooth and nail,
    or you sold-out the first-night -
    if your blue Cadillac breaks down;
    or your heart gives in and dies;
    and if your organs all sizzle
    and you smell your brains frie....
    If you !GODDAMNJUSTWANT! ;
    NOTHINGELSEBUTTODIE ;
    if this animal eats me -
    if it fills me with lies ... or;
    if it already has;
    or if it already died;
    If this carnival cracks me -
    or if it kills me inside ... HOW
    CAN I TELL IF THIS WORKS;
    how can I keep up the fight?
    And
    why....
    ?
    Just....
    "Why?"

    Well, why
    don't you
    go a-
    head and
    lie.
    ....
    But;
    I'm fine.
    Fine.
    Fine.
    Fine.
    Not lying.
    Fine.

    Fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
