Song: The World at Large

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day,
to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
You don't know where and you don't know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Well float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
The days get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

I know that starting over is not what life's about.
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.

Man that's a great tune. Anyways, Private School will be out in bookstores everywhere on the 7th! That's in like 3 days so go buy a copy and support OEL manga. Here's a link for it: [link]

I'm also finishing up Tokyopop's Ghostbusters manga in which I'm drawing 3 whole chapters. That'll be out this September or October. Also, Dead Already vol 2 should be out in September as well.

What I'm asking is for you guys, the fans to buy an OEL book instead of being that one who sits in the isle at Borders and reads the whole thing, then puts it back. In order for OEL to stay afloat, we need your support. Buy an OEL, not just mine, but any of them that look interesting to you. Drawing comics is our job and we love it so much that we'd like to keep it. So help us out and be a patron! Peace out.

My thoughts are so loud,
