Never Talk to Strangers
It always takes one to know one stranger
Maybe we're just wiser now
Yeah, and been around the block so many times
That we don't notice
That we're all just perfect strangers
As long as we ignore
That we all begin as strangers
Just before we find
We really aren't strangers anymore
I Never Talk to Strangers

Promise to Himself
It's a funny thing, a man can make a promise to his god, break it five minutes later and never think about it. With an idle shrug of his shoulders a man can break solemn promises to his mother, wife or sweetheart and except for a slight momentary twinge of conscience, he still won't be bothered very much. But if a man ever breaks a promise to himself he disintegrates. His entire personality and character crumble into tiny pieces and he is never the same man again.

You Look Like the Devil
You look like the devil in the morning
'Cause you've been out working through the night
Holding hands and kissing everybody
I'm glad to say that you can't blow my mind
You look like the devil when you're crying
I'm so glad you feel so strong that way
You've got a great big smile for everybody
And i'm so glad i met you yesterday
You Look Like the Devil
(L. Russell)

Dark Contours
Wes saw flat misty fields, fences, barns, the dark contours of distant hills. Waking again to the faint sound of music, the motor silent, only Babe and Bobby gone from the car, the others sleeping, Wes saw a low building in the fog with ' Regal Pale' glowing in blue neon in a window, and was overcome with dejection.
