Home, Land and Sea ~ Trinity Roots
From the tail of the Fish, To The Tip.
Money all, around this world. Want a piece of this yeah.
Seems like nothing, nothing no, no.
Gonna stop, I know, you can feel it.
And there they're all seated. A Queen Bee, with her company

I became a thin blue wire that held the world above the fire...
This is such an amazing song:
Thin Blue Flame - Josh Ritter
I became a thin blue flame,

New York, New York...
I can't believe that I'm actually in New York! It's 5am in the Morning here and it is muggy as hell! At this stage I'm so tired that if I even attempt to sleep I'm never going to wake up tomorrow in time for my day of experiencing the Big Apple.
