silhouette on the window

You really made my day
With the little things you say
Right now I'm looking through the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something I can find yet
Imagination is my best friend
Got to watch out for the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone
On the road there's no place like home
Silhouettes on the window
(Neil Young, "Razor Love", 2000)

the other side

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall
(Pink Floyd, "Outside the Wall", 1979)

light my way

And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(U2, Ultraviolet, 1991)

where is the life

I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
(Trent Reznor, "Hurt", 1994)

"Beware doll, you're bound to fall"

And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
(Bob Dylan, "Like a Rolling Stone", 1965)

on the 205

I Ride On The Bus Into The City Every Day
I Sit On My Seat And I Dream Myself Away
I Dream I'm On An Island With That Foxy Lady Too
But When I Awaken I Must Be Mistaken I'm On Third Avenue
(Beastie Boys, "Mark on the Bus", 1992)

crossroads

I'm standin at the crossroads
Tryin to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
Go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Let your love and let it grow
(Cream, "Let it Grow")

the market

In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all.
(Bod Dylan, "Love Minus Zero / No Limit", 1965)
