"Say You Do" - TV on the Radio

So I was just thinking about this, just now, a few minutes shy of a friend’s visit, a few more on top of that for some fresh pizza (extra sauce, extra cheese, extra fuck yeah), and a few hours more from my going away party at Barcopa in Santa Monica.

And I was sitting there, existing, being high, listening to Sea Wolf on my couch and I thought about how people like to give me a hard time for the way I choose to adorn myself. As most of you know, at night I go out and wear these gay ass looking, flamboyant yellow-tinted, plastic framed glasses. I swear, people love busting my balls about them and of course I can’t blame them. It comes with the territory; it’s like a flare gun saying “douchebag alert.” And my reasons to justify them are definitely legit: they help with depth perception, it helps me compose my photographs, etc. All legitimate reasons. But truth is, you know and I know that I enjoy wearing them because I like to, it’s my moniker. It’s an altered reality, it’s a new way of perceiving my environment, it’s a constant sunset.

Well as I said earlier, I was sitting there, on my couch, thinking about whether or not I’m going to rock the golden glasses tonight. What the hell was I thinking; of fucking course I’m going to wear them tonight. Shortly after that, I began to think, “Ok Roe. Well, what are you going to say when someone asks you, ‘why do you like to wear those glasses so much?’ What are you going to answer?”

I’ll tell you why, my darling.

It’s because it makes me feel like a fucking celebrity.

Here I am with one of my favorites.

---------------------------------------------

What is love can you tell me baby be,
Is it the hole you put inside me.
Yon cavernous crater young windswept cave,
If love is my salvation I don't want to be saved.

But I never met a girl like you.
Someone who made that dumb shit true
So oo oo.

(
Love me love me love me, say you do)

when you do,
wont you say you do.

(
Love me love me love me, say you do)

say you do.


Full capacity mind wake suck sainity I fake,
Not much more that I can take before I start to bend a break.
Burn the indian sky the sea, I blot out every memory,
And then I solemn vow I swear, I'll never ever ever fall again.

But I never met a girl like you,
Someone to keep my black heart blue.
And I'll always stay a little bit me,
The portrait of complicity.


Well its a lovely picture of me,
Hanging on the stars above me, Screaming girl why don't you love me.

Well its a lovely picture of me,
Hanging on the stars above me, Screaming girl why don't you love me.

Well its a lovely picture of me,
Hanging on the stars above me, Screaming girl why don't you love me.

Well its a lovely picture of me,
Hanging on the stars above me, Screaming girl why don't you love me.
(Lovely picture of me)
Say you do

(
Love me love me love me, say you do)
(
Love me love me love me, say you do)

Full capacity hard wake suck sainity I fake,
Not much more that I can take before I start to bend a break.
Burn the indian sky the sea, I blot out every memory,
And then I solemn vow I swear, I'll never ever ever fall again.


Full capacity hard wake suck sainity I fake,
