Lyric of the Day 3/8/08

Well, I took a week off.  Thanks for you patience while I regrouped and made peace with last weekend & the trip to Phila.  Which, of course, these lyrics have nothing to do with.  I just fell back in love with this song last night as I was coming back from my Friday night gathering.

Girl don't like the greed in me,
The speed in me,
Her need for me.
The weed in me,
The dealer in me,
The schemer in me,
The dreamer in me.

I was never one of these school-yard
point-guard
crossover
levitatin'
head-fakin'
myth-makin'
long range shot takin'
pain killer high,
got me in the parking lot.

Girl don't like the fader in me,
The invader in me,
The penetrator in me,
The not quite fader-away in me,
The I will see you later in me.

But stay with me anyway,
I'm a brand new believer.
I went to the tomb without you,
And they wouldn't receive me.
- Ike Reilly Assassination, "The Mixture"
