sometimes life...

whacks you in the back of the head when least expected. Spinning and whirling out of control.

As Mae would say in their song Crazy 8's:
These lights and numbers are a bright sign /Smoke-filled casinos, but what do we know we'll take a chance/Looking for cheap thrills and fast rides/Spin till we're dizzy, the gamble, the sleep and now we dance/We stumble up and down the concrete/Led by distraction, the empty attraction keeps us blind/Never intending for the complete/Like shadows and alleyways, the unknown continues biding time/We're chasing heaven as it fades into black/Can't get it back, no, we can't get it back/It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track/Can't wait to come back, can't wait to come back/Could you stay with me tonight?We sleep for dreaming and away it goes/And I'll make you believe one last time/And let you feel it as my heart explodes/We sit and drink up on the cop car/Playing illegally, the boredom of fantasy, we're done/I've never, ever loved you so hard, but is that reality/We can't face the battle in the dark/We're chasing heaven as it fades into black/Can't get it back, no, we can't get it back/It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track/Can't wait to come back, can't wait to come back/Could you stay with me tonight?/We sleep for dreaming and away it goes/And I'll make you believe one last time/And let you feel it as my heart explodes/We sit, we think, and we figure out just right where to start/As these waters rush together, we keep ripping them apart/Is this truth? Is this real? Is there something more to feel?/Do we chase the sensation on blind appeal?/Have we now reached the end...just to find the beginning again?/Stay with me tonight/We sleep for dreaming and away it goes/And I'll make you believe one last time/And let you feel it as my heart explodes/We're chasing heaven as it fades into black/And I'll make you believe one last time/It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track

Life...I'm running crazy 8's round the track...
