Bangs Head...

... repeatedly on the steering wheel.

I've got a vicious ear worm running through my head, and I can't remember the composer or the name of the damned thing!

Anyone who's ever sung in a high school concert choir will know this. Help a girl out, will ya?
Requiem For The Masses lyrics
Terry Kirkman)
Requiem aeternam, requiem aeternam

Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half mast, for the matadors
Who turned their backs to please the crowd
And all fell before the bull

Red was the color of his blood flowing thin
Pallid white was the color of his lifeless skin
Blue was the color of the morning sky
He saw looking up from the ground where he died
It was the last thing ever seen by him

Kyrie Eleison
Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half mast, for the matadors
Who turned their backs to please the crowd
And fell before the bull

Black and white were the figures that recorded him
Black and white was the newsprint he was mentioned in
Black and white was the question that so bothered him
He never asked, he was taught not to ask
BUt was on his lips as they buried him

Rex tremendae majestatis
Requiem aeternam, Requiem aeternam
Arghhhhhhhhh!!! Make it stop!

Update: God bless Jerry Wiley! I was going a little nuts there for a while.



Beautiful. (But try getting it stuck in your head for hours!)
