"Don't press my head to the floor and call it a ceiling."-Dominic Owen Mallory, RIP (Last Lights, "Love + Rent")

lyrics

Can I get you a bag or a cookie with that?
Is there anything else you'd like to take?
Am I singing this right? It kept me up all night
and now I can't seem to stay awake.
I've got the money to make it until the next paycheck,
and the lesson in patience is free.
Pick up the cards that you're dealing
And the onions your peeling
and cry over something real for me.
"They press your head to the floor and call it a ceiling"
but still hang on, Hang on to that feeling
Don't let nothing steal it.

And it isn't magic who people become in traffic,
but it's distracting from something
You start to feel like the only one, or the only important one.
See! That's a problem with your brain.
I wonder who worked that pizza place
in LA with young Tom Waits,
wonder if they're still there today
Serving slice through the heart of Saturday night--
I wish them luck, I wish them all more time...
but I really wish they'd just hang on, hang on, hang on
hang on to that feeling.
That sweet, sweet feeling.
Can't let nobody steal it.
That's the one, you gotta hang on to.
That feeling.
