They say that these are not the best of times,
But they're the only times I've ever known,
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes,
And I can only stand apart and sympathize.

For we are always what our situations hand us...
It's either sadness or euphoria.
And so we argue and we compromise,
and realize that nothing's ever changed,
For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same.

Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity,
Our reason co-exists with our insanity.
And though we choose between reality and madness...
It's either sadness or euphoria.

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies.
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives,
With our respective similarities...
It's either sadness or euphoria

==================================
...listening to the "Movin' Out" CD. I love Billy Joel. This is one of the best songs of his, and it's among my own personal top ten. Maybe one day I'll actually get all of them together and post them for the world to see.

But for now, I have to finish taking 13 Ford Product Knowledge exams. Four down, nine to go. I'll post my scores when all is said and done, just so you guys can revel in my sense of accomplishment with me.
