2.302 : 3/1/06 : Next March

I’ve become
or have I always been
obsessed with transformation
the exact moment to begin
I know it’s corrosive
eat your stomach right away
What I began for tomorrow
was behind by yesterday
But on my next march
there’ll be no compromise
on my next march
they’ll call me angel eyes
I’m going all the way
all the way up to the top this time
No ghosts are left now
left to judge or stop my climb

what

I've used the phrase "angel eyes" many times in the songs, I don't know why. While it suggests many possible references (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Eyes) I'm always thinking of the same one - Lee Van Cleef representing "the bad" in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. In the original script Van Cleef's character is called "Sentenza" (Sentence) - Van Cleef suggested that Clint Eastwood ad libbed the nickname into the English version of the movie (http://www.leevancleef.com/interview.htm)
