I'm not doubting, just sayin'.

It's long!

Edit: I think I've seen the clip.

she had tried to start conversation with
but really the only thing
she heard him say was to order his bloody mary
and she's sitting there and she's reading
this really arduous magazine article about this
third world country that she couldn't
even pronounce the name of and
she's feeling very bored and very despondent
and then suddenly there's this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out
and they started just falling thirty thousand feet
and the pilots on the microphone and he's saying,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Oh My God, I'm Sorry"
and apologizing and she looks at the man and she says,
"Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says,
"We're going to a party, it's a birthday party.
It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling.
We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much."

You forgot the stutters. Conor Oberst is such a spaz.

"So long everything!" he shouted. Then he ran next door to Margot's house. "I'm moving" he said. "Where?" asked Margot. "Two weeks away," he said. "Mitchell, where is that?" asked Margot. "It's everywhere I will be after I walk for two weeks," said Mitchell, "I have lived in the same place for a long time, it is time for me to go someplace else." "No," said Margot, "You have only lived next door for fifty years." "Sixty," said Mitchell, "Fifty, sixty. What's the difference?" said Margot, "I want you to stay next door forever." "I can't," said Mitchell, " I do not want to go wake up in the same old bed and eat breakfast in the same old kitchen. Every room in my house is the same old room, because I have lived there too long."

Well I could sleep forever, but it's of her I dream
If I could sleep forever, I could forget about everything. - Dandy Warhols

Dead as dead can be my doctor tells me but i just cant believe him Im very optimistic- A perfect Circle

Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...Holy ****ing ****! ------****ing Maynard from TOOL

You get the car, I'll get the night off. You'll get the chance to take the world apart and figure out how it works.

I must make it through this afternoon

She wants to get real f*ucked up.

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl who's still around the morning after.

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!

That made the spinner.com list as well.

I prefer Sympathy for the Devil's opening line when it comes to the Stones.
