We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!

The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.

Look, Here are we, On this starry night staring into space, And I must say, I feel as small as dust, Lying down here...

If at all God's gaze falls upon us all it's with a mischievous grin, look at him.

For a moment this good time would never end You and me Just wasting time I was kissing you You were kissing me love From good day into a moonlight

Lying on the roof counting the stars that fill the sky I wonder if Someone in the heavens looking back down on me I'll never know So much space to believe

We look to our leaders once we elect them to either lead us in the right direction or at least not crush us.

I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.
