saw you at a party
you asked me to dance
said music was great for dancing
i don't really dance much
but this time i did
and i was glad that i did this time

and the song said "let's be happy"
i was happy
it never made me happy before
and the song said "don't be lonely"
it makes me lonely
i hear it and
i'm lonely more and more
~yo la tengo, last days of disco

i have been soaking my soul in yo la tengo these past few days. like a dirty washcloth sitting in a sink full of its own grime... my body has been simmering in yo la tengo. my pores are filled with the sentiments in their songs...

come on, let's leave our misery
and crawl toward where we want to be
