Is uh… the ride… and we've had a really good time riding to where ever it is we are going… and I don't even think any of us know particularly where it is going to take us… But it's been really fun sort of chasing it.”

Anyone who does, will end up smelling.
Knowing this, why do I defy?
Because my inner voice is yelling.

Anyone who thinks something compelling.

Yes, our soul, we're told's for selling.”

Lyrics, Make Yourself (1999)
