And your room is in the air where there’s time to pull out all your hairAnd the man who lives downstairs doesn’t smile at you but only glares

Man, every couplet or not-couplet by THE ARCANA I read, I think, wow, that's definitely the best rock (or whatever) couplet ever, but then I see the next one and I think, no, that last couplet(?) was horrific meaningless shit compared to this one, the true best rock (or whatever) couplet ever.
