Send ‘The World at Large’ Ringtone to Cell

Ice-age heat, wave can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plane
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand

    i moved on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way. Went to the porch to have a thought and again I couldn't stop.

    "My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth." Splendid.

    I always thought this or Ocean Breathes Salty would make a better hit than Float On.

    i was a homeless junkie for almost a decade. I had this friend Mandy she was my best friend and she was aprostitute to support her dope habbit. Anyway one night it was really cold and raining and she found me up on Broadway in Seattle and told me she hada hotel room and some dope so we went to the hotel and got high in the mornign we were watching music videos on MTV and that was the first time i heard this song. I absolutly loved it from first listen about 6 months later Mandy found out she had cancer and she died 6 months after that. Everytime i hear this song i think of her...RIP Mandy
