coming home from applebees tonight, i listened to the weepies

who i'm now convinced are the sum of all wisdom
"you know there will be days when you're so tired you can't take another step, the night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get..."
"now it's kind of strange how we change orbit in our lives"
"i know which side you're on, and it's not mine"
"i'll make my own way in the wide world, just now i don't want to wander too far...even the stars sometimes fade to gray, even the stars hideaway"
"trying not to hope too hard for what i want, trying not to go too far with all the dreaming, oh, the disappointment so hard to handle"
"wasted on a saturday, join the great majority..."
and so on...
