Mike was a straight-laced, up-tight programmer working at the same place where he had worked for years, and not doing much with his life other than going to raves. He did lots of drugs, especially Ecstasy and Acid, but I could hardly tell the difference when he was on them. At one point, though, I introduced him to some people who put on self-development workshops or "growth groups", and his life totally changed. Soon he was telling me about the ins and outs of these groups, such as the Forum [the successor to the infamous 70's group Est] and a group called the Welcomed Consensus, whose stated purpose was to teach men how to better give women pleasure, such as extended orgasms. He attended massage school, began organizing parties and ended up a leader of the subculture of young people who attended these groups and involved themselves in massage, New Age rituals, and similar quintessentially Bay Area things.
And you, bring me to my knees again All the times that I could beg you please, in vain All the times that I've felt insecure for you And I leave my burdens at the door
But I'm on the outside and I'm looking in I can see through you, see your true colors 'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me I can see through you, see to the real you
All the times, that I felt like this won't end It's for you And I taste what I could never have It was from you All the times that I've cried My intentions were full of pride But I waste more time than anyone
But I'm on the outside and I'm looking in I can see through you, see your true colors 'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me And I can see through you, see to the real you
All the times that I've cried All this wasted, it's all inside And I feel all this pain I stuffed it down, it's back again And I lie here in bed All alone, I can't mend But I feel, tomorrow will be okay
But I'm on the outside and I'm looking in I can see through you, see your true colors 'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me I can see through you, see to the real you
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feelin' guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw da end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blind and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here fo you if you'd only care... u know why i luv this guy...peace:s
