Look, I know the news has been pretty dismal lately. And far be it from me to suggest the worst is yet to come. But the prophet has spoken:
Whatcha doin' tonight?
Well have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans, listen when I say
There's people putting us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth, we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck, lame duck
profits for fun
Quick trick plans
take the money and run
We need long-term, slow burn
gettin' it done
And some straight talkin', hard workin'
son of a guns
Come on and take pride, be wise
spotting the fools
Big shots, crack pots
bending the rules
A fair shot here
for me and for you
Knowing that
we can't lose
When Dennis DeYoung is your prophet of good fortune, you know you're doomed. Or as the Grateful Dead might say:
I might be going to Hell in a bucket
But at least I'm rockin' the Paradise
Tonight.

Phil, you have been a busy boy lately...too much for me too comment on here, except to say: Dennis DeYoung? Don't tell me that those lyrics are from something that Liza Minnelli wannabe wrote--and that you listen to! (Says the guy with the complete Mariah Carey collection...beat ya to the punch, a-holes!)
How about this, from the new U2: "I'm gonna go crazy if I can't go crazy tonight!"
This post is wasted irony for Mariah Carey fans.
PS Did you at least get the River reference, Ferryman?
I got nuthin'...Bryan Ferry covered Take Me to the River, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood covered Ferry Cross the Mersey. Maybe you were going for the Styx/Ferryman to Hell connection?
