I tried to get her talkin'
She didn't have much to saaaaay
She asked me for a map to death row

One look out my window at the pine trees and the rain
It wadn't her day.

malc,
i don't think you sucked as much as i asked tough questions and one even where beck thought i was vague. but there is a fine line between vagueness and giving it away.
