mean to me

i was inexperienced to believe
that you would want what's best for me
every time i tried to hold on to you
you would surprise me with the things that you'd do

cause you're so mean to me
mean to me
m-e-a-n
mean to me

now you say that you want me to stay
i'd be a fool not to run the other way
i think about the times that i went
back, and now i know that i can't do that

cause you're so mean to me
mean to me
m-e-a-n
mean to me

fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me

now i know that i'll always think twice
before sailing down the river of sacrifice
and these tears that won't seem to ever dry
are reminder of the reason that I have to say goodbye

fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me

So it's after midnight. I need to get to northern ca., specifically petaluma, by 6 pm. cheapest flight i could find is out of spirit airlines. They're notorious for charging extra for everything, but the ticket is 100 dollars less then everything else, coming out at 77 bucks. I'm not going to take carry on luggage so they won't charge me. I'm getting a ride to T3 LAX 2pm. Flight is 620 AM. Because they layover in Vegas (that's why it's so cheap) I get in at oakland @ noon. Get BART to SF, get the 76 bus @fremont betw mission and howard, s. mcdowell and casa grande is where i get off. Should take 3 hours plus from airport. Then 1 mile walk to destination, crossing lakeville highway. 3860 cyprus dr.

lyric

getting to know you, these ghosts from my past

lapd why you gotta ruin my day?

"leah," he sings, the shiver it brings
down my spine
a cup of ethiopian brew
with roy orbison tastes divine
