Craig alludes to a wonderful song:
>A-a-a-and there's that _Venus in Furs_ by those Velvets...

Hey Craig, since you're au courant w/ this great tune, can you tell me if the line, going 
down w/ that incredible Cale viola screeching in the b/ground, is: 

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep four thousand years

or

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years

We used to argue about this long into the starry night, me and the droogs, way back when.
