LOTD

Today's (okay, the day is almost over, but it still counts) lyrics of the day (I'm thinking about trademarking that - anyone think it's taken yet?) come to you from Temple of the Dog, a short-lived, amazing group that was a combination of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden (the former still rocking, the latter ended several years ago), and that I recently rediscovered thanks to iMesh (think that's enough parenthetical phrases for one sentence?):

Say Hello to Heaven (if you can find a audio clip, try it, it's beautiful)

Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long winded curses
I keep hearing in my head
Words never listen
And teachers never learn
Now Im warm from the candle
But I feel too cold to burn
He came from an island
And he died from the street
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking
But he never said nothing to me
So say hello to heaven

New like a baby
Lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed
Poor stargazer
Shes got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough, you better seek out
Another road cause this one has
Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven

I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things well never do
So I blow out the candle, and
I put you to bed
Since you cant say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
Theres just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven
