    This is the highest rank of "devastating, life-altering breakup" album. It helped me resolve a deep heartbreak I'd been dragging around for 8 years.

      If you paid twice, then perhaps You could shut up twice, Rockefeller. I snuck in and ate a corned beef, did the ,,'Hey! There's a fly in my soup!' Routine, walked in backwards, pretended I was leaving, stole becks guitar, ordered a pizza, put it on becks tab, hailed a cab, ran away without paying, dined and dashed at Grady's Home style pancake house and rifled through my roommates purse for cigarette money, and you paid twice. Smarten up, sucker.oh yeah, I got a half and half and only paid for the joint copping. Pay twice? Sucker.

      Put your hands on the wheel
      Let the golden age begin
      Let the window down
      Feel the moonlight on your skin
      The desert wind
      Cool your aching head
      The weight of the world
      Drift away instead
      Oh-oh, these days I barely get by
      I don't even try
      It's a treacherous road
      With a desolated view
      There's distant lights
      But here they're far and few
      The sun don't shine
      Even when it's day
      Gotta drive all night
      Just to feel like you're okay
      Oh-oh, these days I barely get by
      I don't even try, I don't even try

    I'm comforted by the fact that he got the lyrics wrong at 1:15. I never can remember them in the right order, either.
    He once said, when questioned whether his (usual) lyrical style is just nonsense put together, that of course the lyrics have meaning. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to remember them.

    This album is really amazing start to finish. I think it never gained any iconic status because it’s really depressing and a departure from all the other stuff he did prior. A woman I used to be friends with who adored him to the point where he could do no wrong couldn’t listen to it because it was too sad.

      I mean, he's a versatile artist. I see what you mean. In my opinion only, he'd probably feel trapped from what I've read about him and seen him say in interviews.
      But you're on the money about this style and him knocking it out of the park. Just sad the events that inspired it took place for it to come out.
