1 " I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged. "
― Aimee Mann
2 " It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow. "
3 " The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. He might get burned, but he's in the game. And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll Beat his wings 'til he burns them black... No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. . .The Moth don't care if The Flame is real, 'Cause Flame and Moth got a sweetheart deal. And nothing fuels a good flirtation, Like Need and Anger and Desperation... No, The Moth don't care if The Flame is real. . . "
4 " All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want. "
5 " Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing. "
6 " Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won't put these futures back together. All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me back to zero. "
7 " The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load. "
8 " But I can't confront the doubts I have.I can't admit that maybe the past was bad,and so, for the sake of momentumI'm condemning the future to deathso it can match the past. "
9 " Nightly you retrace your steps again to return to the scene of the crime. It's uncanny how you hover in the air of the wreckage that you left behind. "
10 " Say you were split, you were split in fragments and none of the pieces would talk to you. Wouldn't you want to be who you had been? Well, maybe I'd want that too. "
11 " You drew a bird that was here, a kind of sweet chanticleer. But with a terrible fear that the cage couldn't tame "
12 " The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. He might get burned, but he's in the game. And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll Beat his wings 'til he burns them black...

13 " I suppose I should be happy to be misread; better be that than some of the other things I have become. "
14 " There comes a time when you swim or sink so I jumped in the drink 'cause I couldn't make myself clear. Maybe I wrote in invisible ink, oh I've tried to think how I could've made it appear. "
15 " Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting. "
16 " That bastard making fun of me in front of all my peersThose people think I own this town, you're stripping all my gearsWell guess what Mr. President, I'll be seeing youIn four yearsThough on the campaign trail the papers paint me like a clownStill all I see are crowds who want to fit me for a crownI point out all my enemies just so my fansBring them downIsn't anybody going to stop me?I don't want this jobI don't want this job, my godCan't you tellI'm unwellYou try to pin me down but you don't really try that hardI throw out any shit I want and no one trumps that cardSo dazzled and distracted by your fantasyOf HildegardIsn't anybody going to stop me?I don't want this jobI don't want this job, my godCan't you tellI'm unwellYou ask about my plan but baby my plan is to winI wind up all the tops and watch the others keep the spinYou handing me grenades is just compelling meTo pull the pinIsn't anybody going to stop me?I don't want this jobI can't do this job, my godCan't you tellI'm unwell "
