do you realize

Last week Leif and I went to see The Flaming Lips at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.  Their shows are always so much fun.  Lots of spectacle and pretty flashing lights.  Plus confetti and balloons and people dressed up as bunnies and zombies and aliens.

We missed this song because the pregnant lady (probably the only heavily pregnant lady in the whole crowd*) was tired and wanted to go home early because it was a Tuesday.  Plus I could not stand having to use the port-a-potty one more time.  Oh well, them's the breaks.

Skip ahead to 2:34 if you want to listen.

"Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize"

Good words to live by, I think.

Requisite crappy iPhone pictures:

*No worries here people, it was an outdoor concert where people brought blankets and food to nosh on so it was tame.  Also, the massive cloud of smoke from all the weed wafted over our heads for the most part.
