Favorite Song of the Day: The Sad Punk

Today's song's title says it all, capturing the mood of yours truly — an unrepentant punk with sadness in his heart. It's a little black in subject matter, but that's pretty par for the course for Pixies (irony in that name, to be sure). The more I read, hear and see of the world and what we're doing to it, the more I too think about extinction. Mortality is a bitch, because you die.

The Sad Punk by Pixies

i smell smoke

that comes from a gun

named extinction

it was a long time ago

could have happened to anyone

he was struck by a bullet

and he melted into fluid named extinction

one thousand miles an hour

i'm just like anyone

i want to feel

the road of tar beneath the wheel named extinction

and evolving from the sea

would not be too much time for me

to walk beside you in the sun

i read something

about a son of a gun

named extinction
