I feel tomorrow is yesterday there’s no escape for me today tell me, I don’t knowYou always brushing your long blonde hair making waves in the air tell me, I don’t know

And your room is in the air where there’s time to pull out all your hairAnd the man who lives downstairs doesn’t smile at you but only glares
The Sun is rising but there’s no surpriseI see the learning in the girl’s eyesThe watchful maker sends his supernal guideTo watch for those who want to adore his might
I need a fast train on a smooth lineGonna ride it into timeBleed a cold sweat for a short whileBut the feeling soon subsides

Man, every couplet or not-couplet by THE ARCANA I read, I think, wow, that's definitely the best rock (or whatever) couplet ever, but then I see the next one and I think, no, that last couplet(?) was horrific meaningless shit compared to this one, the true best rock (or whatever) couplet ever.
