"You know what I'd like to be? I mean if I had my goddam
choice?...Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some
game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and
nobody's around- nobody big, I mean- except me. And I'm standing on the
edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody
if they start to go over the cliff- I mean if they're running and they
don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and
catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the
rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really
like to be. I know it's crazy."
-J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

| Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
Down the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Oh no, oh no no no
Oh no, oh no no no |

| will i lose my dignity?
will someone care?
will i wake tomorrow
from this nightmare? |
