V-2nd - Chapter 8 Space/Time scene climax

[Robin Landseadel]

Just to throw a useless curve ball, note that Debussy's unavoidable  
"Clair de Lune" is the the third movement of Debussy's "Suite  
Bergamasque."
	Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
	You certainly know the right thing to wear
	Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
	And I could get so romantic tonight

	You're all dressed up to go dreaming
	Now don't tell me I'm wrong

	And what a night to go dreaming

	Mind if I tag along

	If I say, "I love you"
	I want you to know
	It's not just because there's moonlight
	Although, moonlight becomes you so

	You're all dressed up to go dreaming
	Now don't tell me I'm wrong
	And what a night to go dreaming
	Mind if I tag along

	If I say, "I love you"
	I want you to know
	It's not just because there's moonlight
	Although, moonlight becomes you so

My dad mostly went for Camel straights, later attempted Parliments for  
less tar and nicotine. In the supermarkets, in the carpet stores where  
he worked, just about everywhere smoke could stick to the walls.
