Loved Soul Coughing. Loved Mike Doughty's early, less production-heavy albums. Have seen him about 5 times in Seattle since the early 2000s. I'm done with that.

Painless phase,

Blacked out thoughts

You be rejecting.



Lonely

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

beat it.

Lonely

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

Lonely

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
