Black Tar Road Page #3

She said she like livin'

in isolation and that,

bein' a loner is better than bein' lonely.

I think she was lonely, though.

Funny thing is that nothing ever changes,

and Charlie knew that,

and it worked for her.

Even in the Bible it says,

there's nothin' new under the sun.

I used to read the Bible.

17 days on the road and

I'm as high as a kite

- This place is dead.

- Yeah?

Just the way I like it.

- What's the matter,

you don't like people?

She made it out on Sunday mornin'

- I've never been the saint,

and I've been doing the

sinner since I was a kid.

Nothin' here in this sh*t town.

We just started chattin' a little bit,

and it was kinda funny, kinda nice,

I don't know, she just seemed like she

paid attention to me, you know?

She's gonna see the way

She's gonna find another way

She's got a lifetime to remember

Nothin' more to say

when you feel alone

- Got a ciggy?

- Smoking kills.

- I'm no quitter.

- Yeah, you got ambition.

- Look, I don't need new friends,

I just need to bum a f***in' ciggy.

- Give me a lighter.

Busy lot here, yeah?

- Yeah, busy as a dead bee.

Or a cricket.

Just about every day I think I'm gonna

stick out my thumb and bail on this place.

Make it as far as the

Eiffel Tower, or Mexico.

Maybe even Pasadena.

Pasadena, gonna go see

that Golden Gate Bridge

they got out there.

- Pasadena, yeah, it's a bad idea

to hang around bridges.

- I seem to be good at bad ideas.

- Well if you hate it so

much, why don't you just

ditch on out of here?

- And jeopardize my career?

- Yeah, you're really movin'

up the ladder here, huh?

- I don't want your ciggies.

I got my own all by myself.

- I really don't think a girl like you

should be by herself.

- Spider well you just get in here

and shut the door.

- Itchy fur and like a porcupine

or somethin'.

- You know,

I once scene porcupines humpin'.

- Like two cactuses in love, sh*t.

- I bet you didn't see anything.

- I did too.

- I saw a bat once, but it flew away.

It would have been romantic if it bit me.

- Bit like a porcupine.

- Spider.

Spider.

Spider.

- What's up?

- Do I look okay?

- You don't look as hot

as you did in high school,

but you look okay, yeah.

- Just get out of here, just go.

I used to be beautiful.

At least that's what people say.

- You know, there's someone new in town.

Yeah, I saw her, she saw me, and I know

maybe nobody wants to

hang around me anymore

like they did in high school,

but she did talk to me.

I don't know, maybe

she'll talk to me again.

Maybe I could talk to

her, and she could listen.

Whatever.

Maybe we could party together.

And that's the world out there, grandma.
