(no subject)

I don't have anything interesting to post today, so you get yet another meme that amused me. Ganked from michiexile.

Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

I'm surprised at how well this one worked, though the origin of the title cracks me up (ten journalpoints to the first person to guess it!), and the last line is just fucking bizarre. Also, I swear to God that perfect juxtaposition of Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash was a complete accident.

"When I look around me"

Breathing in an air, permeated, soaked in darkness
Well, we've always had a bumpy ride and this is where it ends
Anywhere old prince nez goes
I don't want to change your mind

Well that was easy, way too, everything's easy now
You my weakness, sweetly wreck me
Have you seen my love?
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

Often on the weekend I'll jump in my car
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
The birds they sing at the break of day
Hear that lonesome whipporwhill.

Many men have loved the bells
Frosty the supervisor lives by himself
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
All the fear has left me now

You can't hear me
When they kick at your front door
The rains move in eastward in waves of succession
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.
