One crazy night,
laughter made me fly,
over the edge of the light,
into the fear's black sky,
I fell into beauty's arms.
I met the ghost of Elvis,
he said rich men ain't free
and don't race down this
highway as happy as we,
into a world of cartoons.
I threw flags and books away,
in the bubbles of light,
of an endless day,
but i woke up at night,
and I was so alone.
So here is my hand,
and if you hold on tight,
then from sexy to end,
I'll take you for a ride,
and pray we'll never wake up.

Sometimes crazy is nice...we're all crazy in our own unique way, with or without meeting Elvis. I think you misspelled tight though..

I like your crazy we all need some crazy time in our lives if only to let the tension of our lives out to play without thought of what will the neighours think... You directed the play and i followed with eae into your twisted mind.
Great imagery to fuel the ride of the journey as you capture the emotion of the mood brilliantly
Thank you for the ride.

I love this, really.
This is a very odd comparison, but it makes me think of the rainbows you see in oil reflections in parking lots. It's got a shiny, gritty quality to it. An excellent write- VERY impressive!
