id would be naturally cocky

[Axanderdeath]

The past follows you around
A ghost in the shadows
And a dead one at that
As if it were now it be a spirit
Decipher my mumbo
And I’ll do a mambo
Send it all away running
In the night
As your feet hurt
And humour is the hardest thing
And you laugh at others in there misfortune and
Ou laugh at the world
The world is the FUNneIST thing in the world
The world is FUNNY
What is FUNNY
Ask the ghost
The uncivilised foolish FUNNY ghost
FUNNY to believe in GOHST
FUNNY
Your past follows you and aint it funny
Just a thought running in the night
With hurt feet
Not seeing no shawdows at all
Your head follows your eyes and brings you to the ground

[Yejun]

Made me think of this:

"When I talked that nonsense about Jews on the Rome
wireless, she knew it was shit, and still loved me."
And I, "Who else had been in Purgatory?"
And he, "To begin with a swelled head and end with swelled feet."

--Robert Lowell, from "Ezra Pound"

where is that from?
