"Democratic Way" lyrics
"Democratic Way"
I dreamed that I was Jimmy Carter's lover, and I was somewhere, I guess in the White House... and there were lots of other women there, too... and they were supposed to be his lovers too... but I never even saw Jimmy Carter... and none of the other women ever saw him either...
And there was this big discussion going on because Jimmy had decided to open up the presidential elections to the dead. That is, that anyone who had ever lived would have the opportunity to become President. He said he thought it would be more democratic that way
The more choice you had
The more democratic it would be

Knew a girl used to make me wait for hours

Agnes Obel - "Poem About Death" It feels so strange
Shameless to think of death
When none of those one knows has died
Last night I dreamt I was dead
I came running with my dog into the room of the dead
There was nothing to be...
