(FROM "FLY")

I was sitting in our old house -- we all used to live together in Hancock Park in Los Angeles -- and I was looking through my records, and I happened to see a Killing Joke record. They have a song called "Sanity" with the lyric "all across the scenes, the statues crumble." Whoa! That was a powerful-ass lyric, and I took it from there. I wish it was a life story like I was walking lonely in Rome, but it's not that romantic -- we have Killing Joke to thank for that line.
