Why this vid kicks ass:
(Sorry I am posting this late--I forgot to post this rec. I'm going to do it anyway, because there aren't any HCL vids in the memories, and this vid is too good to miss.)

The song is so right for Joe; it's full of melancholy anger. I loved the way Pearl-o put together the scenes she chose, and seeing Joe spiraling out of control in two and a half minutes is painful, especially when set to this song.

Sometimes I flap my arms like a hummingbird
Just to remind myself I'll never fly.
Sometimes I burn my arms with cigarettes
Just to pretend I won't scream when I die.

If my life was as long as the moon's,
I'd still be jealous of the sun.
If my life lasted only one day,
I'd still be drunk by noon.

Sometimes I can't wait to come down with cancer.
At least then I'll get to watch TV all day.
And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers
Even if all my questions are taken away.

If my like was as long as the moon's,
I'd still be jealous of the sun.
If my life lasted only one day,
I'd still be drunk by noon.
