Since we are already here, having fun, a new song:
Tash Sultana - Kiss the Sky (Live at Lonely Lands Studio)
www.youtube.com
Lyrics:
I'm destructive Never take your eyes offa' me Cause I'm a sinner darling I'll see you in hell you'll see
I guess we're going down down down down down To the depths you hide from me (ohh) In a land where all we know is what we dream Kiss the sky and make believe Make believe Make believe
I'm no angel I guess I have things to say But I got spirit Even if it never goes my way Can you feel me When the darkness eats away (woo) Cause I know this, oh yeah I know it My dreams will only show your face
It's a cocaine kind of dream Runs a fever pitch late at night in me Falling back to earth I see the world in shades of blue And green And green

Back to Steve Martin - What I Believe
what I [Music] believe I believe in rainbows and puppy dogs and fairy tales and I believe in the family mom dad and grandma and uncle Todd waves his penis
and I believe in eight of the 10 commandments and I believe in going to church every Sunday unless there's a game on
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful wholesome and natural things that money can buy
and I believe it's derogatory to refer to a woman's breasts as ----- jugs winnebagos or golden bozos and you should only refer to them as Hooters
and I believe you should place a woman on a pedestal high enough so so you can look up her [Music] dress
I [Music] believe an equality equality for everyone no matter how stupid they are or how much better I am than they are
people say I'm crazy for believing this but I believe that robots are stealing my luggage and I believe that Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was an Arctic region covered with ice
and I believe that the only good laugh is the laugh who get get from a professional comedian and lastly I believe that of all the evils on this Earth there is nothing worse than the music you're listening to right now [Music] oh

I was raised in a family that played country music records of that era quite a lot.
This particular song was one I enjoyed and it told a good story.
For those who actually played the song and might have liked it, Marty Robbins had a follow-up song about Feleena telling her story.
