Quotes by Edie Brickell

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion is a light in the fog.


Little Miss S. in a mini dress
Living it up to die
In a blink of the public eye
Day-glo point in an electric chair
Electric dye in her lovers hair
A pretty sight in the middle of the night
Made up for everyone to see
Swinging on the branch of a broken family tree

The village idiots in her bed
Never cared that her eyes were red
Never cared that her eyes were dead
In the hours that her face was alive
It was the thing just to be by her side
