The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize?”

What do I do at 10 o’clock the night before a paper’s due that I haven’t started yet and really should be writing because—holy crap—it’s a huge 10-pager and it’s due in just over 12 hours? (Breathe.) I blog. (Breathe.) Of course.

Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize we’re floating in space?
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize that everyone you know, someday, will die?

And instead of saying all your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doe’n't go down,
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinnin’ round

Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize?

    One time, in the summer of my 15th year, a girl recited these lyrics to me because she thought she loved me. I think her name was Anna. She wrote them on the inside of the back cover of my book the last day we ever saw each other.

    There’s more but I’ll spare you o.o

    I’d forgotten about your communist editing.

    Do you think I would allow my blog to be polluted by someone posting as “a shmuck with a bad memory”? I should hope not, Sir.

    I’m sorry, did I say “communist editing”? I meant “refreshing regulations of unanonymity, something there’s far too little of on the internet,” surely.

    Oh, and did you say “allow my blog to be polluted”? I’m sure you meant “allow such glorious phrasing to be only partially claimed”.

    PS: lets be friends even though we disagree

    PPS: “It’s a good life, end of discussion” is also communist, which is fine if that’s your thang.

    “It’s a good life, end of discussion” is not Communist. It’s The Get Up Kids. And there’s a big difference there, foo.

    And Another Sunny Day is drowning pools…

    My question is, aintchoo got red fevah boy!? It’s goin’ around. And everything’s susceptible, even the Get Up Kids. *patronizing nod attempt*

    MCCARTHYISM FTW!!

    PS: I’m pulling out my stitches right now.

    PPS: and you have to admit, Stalin was seriously not cool. Lenin was at least kinda cool in a viva revolutionary way. Stalin just car-jacked Russia with all his bullshit. No offense, but he was probably an American Studies major.

    PPPS: BOO! (ya scurred? ;p)

    Lenin and Stalin were both pretty much douches. I highly doubt your contention that either were American Studies majors. Now, The Get Up Kids, on the other hand… They’ve got AMST up the wazoo. That’s what makes them so cool!
