"Voilą! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygo" -

Former lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket, I saw him and Willie Porter at a club nearby, awesome show.
I don't know what to say, don't know what to do Everything gets lost, everything but you I'm not sure what it takes, fuzzy on the rules Everything's so dark, everything but you
I've forgotten how to pray, forgotten what was true Everything feels bought, everything but you The battle of the bands, the rattle of the news Everything's too much, everything but you
Break me on the wheel of fortune Take me to the town for torture All this entertainment's no good It just leaves me hungry for you
I'm messing up the words, murdering the tune Everything's so slack, everything but you Something's got to change, someone's got to choose Everything's sewn up, everything but you
Take me dancing, pale and knock-kneed Spin me through the crowd and drop me Dizzy in the middle of the floor Oh my god you terrify me Oblivious you breeze right by me Spilling wine and melting ice cream Random, warm and mesmerizing
You terrify me You are everything You terrify me You are everything
Well I'll just stick to what I know, I'm proud to be your fool Everything's a crutch Everything but you
""As I sit before the fire, I wonder how many before myself have been burned.'"
