myself up in..." Exactly.

"What would an old man do?" Yeah...

(ACOUSTIC ROCK MUSIC PLAYlNG)

WARREN ZEVON:
Let's

do another bad one then

'cause I like it when the

blood drains from David's face.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYlNG)

MABLE:
Okay.

(SLOW SHOW TUNE PLAYlNG)

(SINGING) Burnt-out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

The streetlamp dies,

another night is over

Another day is dawning

Touch me It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me You'll

understand what happiness is

Look, a new day

has begun
