Today's song

Listened to this one in the car this morning, and several times during the day at work. And when I got home...

Yeah, it feels really good to be into Social D again. It's been too long since I've found a CD where I want to spend time getting to know each song. This disc is like that. I've purchased some of their older stuff the past few days, but this is the CD that got me back to them, so I feel a little bit of loyalty to it. I know that sounds weird, but it's me. What do you expect?

Listened to Angel's Wings (of course) but this one fit my mood, at least for the early part of the day. After I passed the 11-hour mark at work, I flat out didn't give a shit. And it felt good. I got a lot accomplished. Didn't do a great job with the daily, but what do you want with four pages in four hours? And one of them was wide open with a ton of local stuff. Eh. Not even through this beer and I'm rambling. Audience, you could be in trouble tonight…

Footprints on My Ceiling ~ Social Distortion
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
Wanna go without a care
Pull gardenias from her hair
I think of a time we didn’t have a care in the world
Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty
She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen

Chorus:
How do you talk without speaking? Yea
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yea
How do you take without giving?
We keep it all inside?

There are footprints on my ceiling
I can’t help this fucked up feeling
Something’s wrong, you ain’t comin’ around here no more
Try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
This miscommunication is breaking me down

Chorus:
How do you talk without speaking? Yea
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yea
How do you take without giving?
How you treat your new best friend?

Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
My heart is heavy slowly sinking
I redirect my desperate thinking
And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time

Chorus:
How do you talk without speaking? Yea
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yea
How do you take without giving?
There are footprints on my ceiling yea
And I kept it bottled up inside
All my life
