I'm in road-coma at the moment. But it's OK. I think you subliminally become a junkie of being on the road. As much as you think you're burnt out, the minute you get off you go stir crazy and you just wanna go right back.

Life isn't a tiptoe through the tulips

There's a lot that you can be And ain't it a pity But its alright to smile back at me
