ohh this feeling it is wonderful

The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

"nightjails. poolhalls. some things are everywhere
so for the past I'm diggin a grave so big, it will swallow up the sea...
dancefloors. headlights. in my blood there's gasoline
for an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean"

"you'll be right here forever.
We'll go thru this thing together,
And on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads"

"But only in time you find...
That all things come back around,
And just like the frown, we'll turn them upside down"

"Sometimes this world will leave you, lord,
Kickin and a screamin, wonderin if you'll see the next day through.
But as for me I do believe that good luck comes from tryin,
So until I get mine ill work me the whole day through."

"I know there's someone that loves up above
And want to fix you a dream.
He wants to sit down and think.
He wants to pour you a drink.
And you wont feel a thing. You wont feel a thing."

"With the sun on my shoulders
And the wind at my back,
I will never grow older
At least not in my mind"

Sorry I couldn't pick one  :)
"As citizens of eternity we ought to be without anxiety."

i would have to agree with both of these. i'd also throw in:
"i need a human right by my side, untied, untied"

I loved the way he described coming up with this line at storytellers.

He was talking about how he had been noticing that history is cyclical and we often repeat past mistakes because we fail to notice this. The line he originally though of was "They are the innovators, we are the imitators."

But then he said to himself, "You know, FUCK THAT! We are the innovators!" He said he wanted to be defiant.

Awesome.
