“I wanna start from before the beginning
Loot wine, be mine
And then let's stay out for the night
Ride via Parkside, semi-perilous lives
Jeer the lights in the windows
Of all safe and stable homes
But wondering then
Well what could peace of mind be like?”

“When the devil came
He was not red
He was chrome and he said
Come with me
You must go
So I went
Where everything was clean
So precise and towering
I was welcomed
With open arms
I received so much help in every way
I felt no fear”

Drinking a cola of a mystery brand,
Reading an airport novelette
Listening to Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "Requiem".

"I prefer the one about my son”

So what?”

Protective brother, chemical dependence

I'll consult the law books for precedents
Can I charm the jury?”
