hearts and bones
so i have been chilling in the library for several hours once again today. i was going to start reading lolita by nabakov, but i didn't get around to it. i have been working instead on a website for my friend chris who is in a band or something. i finished up some thumbnails and sent them on over to him. i guess i will hear back about them fairly soon.
last night i watched a sweet woody allen movie 'play it again, sam' with hamilton and sycz. woody talks to humphrey bogart throughout the flick, and its super funny. somehow woody allen always puts me in the mood to listen to paul simon. i have been listening to a great track today by paul, called 'hearts and bones'
check the lyrics below:
One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together
In the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
Of New Mexico
On the last leg of the journey
They started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air
Mountain passes slipping into stones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contagious
She burned like a bride
These events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
Love like lightning shaking till it moans
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
And whoa whoa whoa
She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
And we'll wake up down in Mexico
Oh I
I don't know nothin' about nothin'
About Mexico
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
Where I am
He said:
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural courses
To resume old acquaintances
Step out occasionally
And speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy time will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
And they won't come undone
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
-paul simon-
well that's it for right now, back to the swim monsters-->
