Ugh, really? Two favorite songs from two favorite bands. Fine. “Whipping Post” I guess. (buries face in hands)

Well this had me listening to some songs I hadn’t heard in a while.

*On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don’t bother asking for explanations
She’ll just tell you that she came
