wiser time



Amorica

One of the sexiest-sweetest-cut you open-make-you-shake-it-happy-high hours of music possible.

I wore this cassette out on my cross country drive out here in January or February of 1998 in my red '88 Acura Integra. Went to see 'em last night at the Orpheum downtown. I waited for every song from Amorica.



Each song reminding me.

Almost 10 years out here. Wiser for the time.

I am different
I am the same
I am neither one of those
I am greater that I was
I am much less
I am neither one of those
I am my body
I am my mind
I am neither one of those...

I must recognize and cultivate my "reminders" each day. The conscious or unconscious things that by virtue of their existence, instantly remind me the world is beautiful.

Amorica is one.

Wiser Time
No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile
You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another read song
Funny but I bet you never left home
Chorus:
On a good day, it's not every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, it's not every day
Glory beyond our reach
Seconds until sunrise
Tired but wiser for the time
Lightning 30 miles away
Three thousand more in two days
Chorus
