Crash (and burn)

You know how sometimes a song or a singer or songwriter will get to you and you just have to listen to them and read their lyrics and talk about them over and over and over until you get it out of your system? Amanda Marshall has that spot in my head right now.

I give you these lyrics in honor of Crash who, despite my recent good work on the subject, I can't seem to shake right this very second. I think I'll blame my backsliding on Amanda.

Red Magic Marker
Written by Amanda Marshall, Billy Mann & Molecules

'Amanda, come on'

Where are you livin'?
What planet do you come from?
Is their TV, e-mail, or a telephone line?
Do you have friends?
Or family to warn you when there's trouble?
'Cause up to now you're deaf, dumb and blind

This is my line in the sand
This is my last open hand

Chorus:
Can't you read?
Cause it's written all over my face
That I love you
It's in red magic marker
Can't you see?
It's the kind of ink that you can't erase
Says 'I love you'
It's in red magic marker
I try to wash it off
But it won't go away

(Uh...)

Are you gay?
That's cool, just tell me
It's okay, I'll feel stupid but then we can hang out
But if you're straight
Then what the fuck's the matter?
'Cause my deepest intuition tells me there is no doubt

This is my line in the sand
This is where I take a stand

Chorus

Won't go away, no

Sit up and pay attention (I just need to know)
You're in your own dimension (Somewhere I can't go)
I can't help the way I feel
This is my last appeal

Can't you read?
'Cause it's written all over my face
That I love you
It's in red magic marker (Red magic marker)
Can't you see?
It's the kind of ink that you can't erase
Says 'I love you'
It's in red magic marker

Can't you read? (Can't you read?)
'Cause it's written all over my face
(What's the matter with ya)
That I love you
It's in red magic marker
Can't you see?
It's the kind of ink that you can't erase
Says 'I love you'
It's in red magic marker

Let's hope he has something better to do with his life than search for me on the internet, shall we?
