about

Excerpt from The Liars Club by Mary Karr:

"In ancient epics, when somebody boffs a girl or slays somebody or just generally gets heated up, he can usually blame 'ate', a kind of raging, passion, pseudo-demonic, that banishes reason. So Agamemnon, having robbed Achilles of his girlfriend, said, 'I was blinded by ate and Zeus took away my understanding.' Wine can invoke 'ate', but only if it's ensorcered in some way. Because the 'ate' is supernatural, it releases the person possessed of it from any guilt for her actions."

lyrics

When I'm like this,
Whenever I'm like this
It's just me, and
Me in the morning
That ain't a real man,
He's an imposter
He ate the buildings,
He ate the water

That you slip and slide,
To find out what you can find

You don't like it,
Whenever I'm like this
It's just me, and
Me in the morning
That ain't a real man,
He's not accosted
He might give you
A real easy time
He ain't like this
Remember I'm like this
It might've costed you a
Easy time

But now yr gonna slip and slide,
To find out what you can find
Make yr way down back on home,
Stay away from Cannery Row

(That's my home!)

When I'm like this,
Remember I'm like this
It's just me, and
Me and the morning
When I'm like this,
Just remember I'm like this
Keep it between me,
Me and the morning
