Do not decode these cries of mine, they are the road and not the sign

This Tornado Loves You


My love, I am the speed of sound
I left them motherless, fatherless
Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
But it's never enough
I want you

I carved your name across three counties
And ground it in with bloody hides
Their broken necks will line the ditch
Till you stop
Stop it, stop it
Stop it, stop it
Stop this madness
I want you

I have waited with a glacier's patience
Smashed every transformer with every trailer
Till nothing was standing
Sixty-five miles wide
Still, you are nowhere
Still, you are nowhere
Nowhere in sight

Come out to meet me
Run out to meet me
Come into the light

Climb the boxcars, to the engine
Through the smoke and to the sky
Your rails have always outrun mine
So I
Picked them up and crashed them down
In a moment close to now

Cause I miss
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss

How you'd sigh yourself to sleep
When I'd rake the springtime
Across your sheets

My love, I am the speed of sound
I left them motherless, fatherless
Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
But it's never enough

My love
I'm an owl on the sill in the evening
But morning finds you
Still warm and breathing

This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you

What will make you believe me?

This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you
This tornado loves you

What will make you believe me?

Goodbye money, it was nice knowing Ye


U2 announced their new tour today. "U2360". Thankfully, they are actually pretty good at keeping ticket prices down. The cheap seats are only $30, and the field seats (where I'll be headed) are $55. Not bad at all for a band of U2's caliber. Heck, i couldn't even get nosebleed Coldplay tix for below $65.

Sadly i did shell out $65 for this:


I know. I'm a sucker. It is pretty though...
