I don't know what song it's from, but I heard it the other day. Classic 80s or 90s rock if I had to guess. Upbeat tempo, preceded by other words then a brief instrument spike in tone and pitch.

Stumped? So am I.

but that's not it. The song I heard is a bit more mainstream and popular. I've heard it on supermarket idiot music feeds before. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Gonna carry my cell and learn to push the record button.

"If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, just remind me to show you the scars."

"You opened up my door, I couldn't believe my luck."

"Well tell me more, tell me more,
I mean was he a heavy doper
or was he just a loser?"

"In loyalty to their kind, they cannot tolerate our minds
In loyalty to our kind, we cannot tolerate their obstruction"

"First kiss ever I took, like a page from a romance book,
The sky opened and the earth shook"

"New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers"

"I cannot go anymore to the marshes
Where the gatekeeper smiles at the poisons that he's made"

"Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face"

"Bathed in its own reflection
The water mirrored the moon"

"I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
It had creases as sharp as a knife"
