Such an early song. Written when we thought Tompkins Park St. Marks and a handful of clubs and dives comprised the known world as, the places I had known before became unreal, to point of comedy. I was there a week before deciding everything they taught me was white lies and half-truths.

Wishful thinking-such an early song

Nighttime

finds me

screaming

daytime

finds me

dry

I am

lean

fast

And breezy

By the time I am

25

I’ll die

Wishful thinking?
