Dr. John, Vincent Needs his Meds

I want to take Mika hostage for a few months.  We could write songs and curl each others hair.  There'd be glitter and  cartoons and  sheet music strewn about our flat.  He'd play the piano while i crooned atop it like a 3o's lounge singer; using my butterfly knife as a microphone (classic hostage tool i.e. the Goonies).  Then we'd stay up late discussing our childhood: the pain, alienation, material for artistic expression, things like that.  He'd slowly grow fond of my manic presence in his otherwise dull life.  I'd fall asleep to his soft, high-pitched breathing and this would be our routine for months on end. Of course he'd have to have developed stockholm syndrome by this point for the relationship to go any further.  Who knows, i might even be the inspiration for his third album or, at least, a character in a song... 

All i wanted to say is i really enjoy Mika's new album.
