SAME FOR YOU, SAME FOR ME Whatever way you think of it, everyday is a helluva day; with the heavy ongoing burdens of lovers and wives and husbands and children and friends and all the bullshit of getting by day to day and the addictions to love and drugs and alcohol, the addiction to surviving to building something that may mean something to somebody someday and we carry on; dig deeper and get older and then we let go, a sense of satisfaction just out of sight and the lure of Heaven, the final fucking illusion.
