She unnerved him. Laurence Dominic wasn’t a man easily flustered, troubled, or “unnerved”.
But that Active was different from the others. It had an awareness the others lacked.
They all disgusted him really. But this one…
Echo was one of a kind. They talk about that all the time. But he more than others
noticed it especially because he watched her closely. Since the beginning, he’s been aware of her.
Say my name, and his in the same breath,
I dare you to say they taste the same,
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow in flames
(flames)
Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites, now
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette, pawn shop, I'm trading up (trading up)
I'm the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain't that cheap, now
I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care just what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care (I don't care)
You said I don't care
(I don't care)
Said I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care (I don't care), I said-a
I don't care
I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
