I have got to clean houseI haven't even had the CD player on this morning... and still this song is running through my head. Not a bad thing, mind you - just weird. Jesus, how do I enjoy the stuff of earth without turning it into "a hundred little gods on a gilded wheel"? How do I finish well when I'm carrying this 3 piece set of matching emotional luggage?gotta make my bed
gotta clear my head
It's gettin' kinda stuffy in here
smells sorta funky too
like monkeys at the zoo;
and I have been a-whorin' after things
cause I wanna get everything right
that's a big fat lie
no amount of green, gold or silver
the perfect body
another hot toddy
work for the Lord
fame and power
power and sex
a seat at the table
at the Belle Meade country club
Here's the rub
Nothin' will ever take the place of the peace of God
Charlie Peacock, "Monkeys At The Zoo" (from his album FULL CIRCLE)

Oh, i DO love that Steve Taylor song. That is a song I should probably have played at my funeral, not to get creepy or anything.
