All Bets Are Off...

The piano has been drinking
My necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York
The jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut
And the spotlight looks like a prison break
'Cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
And the balcony's on the make
And the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking...

And the menus are all freezing
And the lightman's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid
And he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking

'Cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler
Cream puff casper milk toast
And the owner is a mental midget
With the I.Q. of a fencepost
'Cause the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress
With a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends
And you just can't get served
Without her
And the box-office is drooling
And the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling
And the ash-trays have retired
The piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking
Not me, not me, not me, not me, not me...

- "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)(An Evening With Pete King)" by Tom Waits

Sensation & Objection...Love is nothing if it's no honest, so Scotty should know.

Holding to the belief that we know someone to the T, says more about us than anything about them...Remember that.

So trippy...I'm planning a story with the same sort of imagery. Kind of like "Desperado".

I know...It'll always be a hobby.

I'm telling you girl, it's not easy being a chick magnet.

Interesting you should say so...It appears that you're not too shabby at writing yourself...though I have some qualms about your subject matter. But that would be my problem, not yours.

Thank you, I suppose.

See Kaite? I'm being civil. It's taking a lot of self-control to keep myself from accusing him of being sarcastic...but since I doubt he is, I'm not too worried about it. I can only wonder what else you've sent him aside from what he's read on my Blog...
