Bitter Sweet Symphony

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places 
where all the veins meet yeah, 

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people 
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I Can't Decide

I can't decide

Whether you should live or die

Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

Strawberry Blonde

She sits and stares at the ice cream shop, twisting her hands in her lap as she impatiently waits for her date. "Why did he have to choose THIS park?" she mumbles, fighting the nagging craving for something cool and sweet.

She gets up from the bench, deciding a quick peek through the ice cream shop window would not hurt anybody.

She regrets her decision almost as soon as she makes it, her quick peek turning into a long, lustful stare.

She finally surrenders, her willpower gone after seeing her favorite flavor in the case.

She smiles at she eats her ice cream cone, thinking to herself it was wise to give in because now she'll eat less at dinner.

What To Wear

Peace, love

One thing leads into another

Dream big, aim small

Man you gotta love her

She's got her hopes up

Got 'em up to there

Wondering what to wear...

She sighs as she views her closet, empty aside from some linens and a suit that will NOT be worn on her day off.

What to wear? She cannot go out in lingerie, as nice as it is...

She suddenly remembers the dress she received yesterday, tucked safely away in the back of her car.

"Perfect!" She smiles to herself. "Now off to find shoes and accessories!"
