More LaChiusa

More insightful lyrics from LaChuisa's The Wild Party:

People Like Us. We take lovers like pills.

Just hoping to cure what we know we can;t fix.

And we'll lay in their arms

And we'll say pretty things:

We'll be there but not there

But we'll still get our kicks -

People like us: We sure get our kicks:

And we heal awful fast and we don;t even scar:

We are here but not here

In a roomful of friends

We could join in the fray

Or stay here where we are --

So much truth packed into so few lines. I just both the simplicty and the complexity of the lyrics and the subtext. And God knows I know a lot of people like this. And it sure as hell helps explain a lot.
