Just know the mechanics of making your choice and writin' your bars
Before you poke out your chest, loosen your bra
Before you step out of line and dance with the star
I could never end a career if it never start”

Who can say when or how it will be that something easters up out of the dimness to remind us of a time before we were born and after we will die?”
