Drink, sex, marriage, fidelity, the bad rains, the relentless crush of time, and the need to do the right thing. They tell quite a story if you have what it takes to listen.

Lyrics
Standing in the alley in the rain,
So drunk and looking for somebody to blame.
The lights are dim and the rain like a sheet.
She could pass and I would never know that we did not meet.
Oh man this takes patience.
Collect your sense, collect coins, call collect.
Listen as the voice denies you.
You inspect the choices made by you alone.
The path is clear by which you have come.
There's a line written in a book somewhere.
I've seen it copied almost everywhere.
I guess I didn't take it in.
I guess I really didn't care.
Standing in the alley in a dream,
Weeping for the flesh of Venus in my hands.
The lights are dim and my rage is a sheet.
She could pass and I would never know that we did not meet.
Oh yeah this takes patience.
