I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
it felt good to be out of the rain
in the desert you can remember your name
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

"SO here I'm sittin' in my car at the same old stoplight,
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what.
So red turns into green turning into yellow,
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot.
And all I have to do is to press the pedal,
But I'm not........."

In the Rush vein:

"You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.  If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.  You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill.  I will choose a path that's clear; I will choose freewill."

Oh!  And my favorite Country and Western lyric of all time:

"I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck
She got ran over by a damned old train." --David Allen Coe

Staying with RUSH
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Rush, Tom Sawyer

Oh good! I get to talk about the most talented songwriter ever!

Nothing fuels a good flirtation like need and anger and desperation.  -Aimee Mann, "The Moth"

Or how about:

And I know life is getting shorter

I can't bring myself to set the scene

Even when it's approaching torture

I've got my routine

That's from "Momentum" from the Magnolia soundtrack.

Or:

Now that I've met you
would you object to
never seeing each other again
cause I can't afford to
climb aboard you
no one's got that much ego to spend

From "Deathly" off of Bachelor No. 2 (also on the Magonlia ST).

Aimee's amazing and impossibly underated. I urge anyone to go immediately to www.aimeemann.com. Besides being a heck of a musician, she's a pretty cool story, too. After geting screwed by Big Record Companies while with 'Til Tuesday, she started her own publishing company (Alter Ego Records, and now produces and markets her own records. I like her a little...

i agree...i love aimee mann.  i mentioned the magnolia soundtrack on another thread!  i can't get enough of that album!

I know you do (I know you do)
Thats why whenever I come around shes all over you
And I know you want it (I know you want it)
It's easy to see (it's easy to see)
And in the back of your mind
I know you should be home with me

Dont cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me

"Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight..."
--Barenaked Ladies


But do you know where the kick at the darkness originally comes from?
Originally (according to the internet, anyway), Bruce Cockburn's “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”.
I knew it from U2's God Pt II -
“Heard a singer on the radio, late last night
Said he's gonna kick the darkness 'till it bleeds daylight
I, I believe in love”

So anyway, I wanted to add more Tull:
"Oh people - what have you done -
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion -
Him resurrected from the grave.
He is the god of nothing -
if that's all that you can see."

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest.

Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.

And in between the moon and you
angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

Well, I walk in the air between the rain,
through myself and back again.
Where? I don't know.
Maria says she's dying.
Through the door I hear her crying.
Why? I don't know.

Round here we always stand up straight.
Round here something radiates.

I like to listen to Queen when I run...makes me push myself harder, faster:

Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah, down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin world go round

Hey, I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me, Hey hey

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb

Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb.  Old school definately but one of my fav's
