Dog's Eye View - Post Jellybean Depression?
the eggs are found, the candy half-eaten. And my family settles into wasting away the last day of Spring Break. This song comes on the radio, and although I remember enjoying it when it was big, I don't remember the lyrics affecting me so much. It almost made me cry. I was moved to share it. It brought to mind Katrina, Iraq, this President, our country over all. Maybe its the sugar crash, maybe its the Hurricane Guide that came with the Sunday paper, maybe its the end of vacation. I don't know.

For what its worth -

Everything Falls Apart
by Dogs Eye View

Don't look now,
things just got worse
I'm drunk again,
I swear this crescent--is just a curse

I got here by killing all my friends
I think I figured it out - my life begins when the fun ends

I've got my wings,
I'm free to go as I please
Yeah, I got my wings,
now nothing really pleases me 'til

Everything falls apart,
then I get to try to put it back together
Everything falls apart,
and you can count on that like you can count on bad,
bad weather again

Was it good?
I don't remember much about it
When things start to feel right,
you can count on me to start to doubt it

The devil's not in the details,
the devil is in my hands
It's shoot first, apologize later,
another quick end to a short shod romance

I got what I wanted,
now I don't want anything
I got what I wanted,
now my life is just boring 'til

Everything falls apart,
then I get to put it back together
Everything falls apart
and you can count on that like you can count on bad,
bad weather this year

I met God this afternoon
Riding on an uptown train
I said "Don't you have better things to do?"
He said, "If I do my job, what would you complain about?"
So I let it go to Hell,
now I'll have something to do
I let it go to Hell,
does that sound familiar to you?

Everything falls apart,
then I get to try to put it back together
Everything falls apart
and you can count on that like you can count on bad,
bad weather

Everything that falls apart,
sooner or later gonna come back together
Everything that comes together,
sooner or later falls apart
