Like a rock, like a planet, Like a fucking atom bomb,
I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness
That I encounter everywhere I turn,
I've seen it all before in books and magazines,
Like a twitch before dying,
Like a pornographic sea,
Theres a flower behind the window,
Theres an ugly laughing man,
Like a hummingbird in silence,
Like the blood on my door,
It's the generator...
Love Me Like A Reptile, you're murder in disguise,
Black mamba, murder in disguise...
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades...
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you, Double up or quit, double stake or split, The Ace Of Spades...
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die, The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be, The Ace Of Spades!
"Since we are not yet fully comfortable with the idea that people from the next village are as human as ourselves, it is presumptuous in the extreme to suppose we could ever look at sociable, tool-making creatures who arose from other evolutionary paths and see not beasts but brothers, not rivals by fellow pilgrims journeying to the shrine of intelligence. Yet that is what I see, or yearn to see."
Orson Scott Card / Speaker for the Dead
