candle is blue could see me through but I'm color blind / they tell me it's blue and I'm a believer that's why I'm blind / live on the freeway listen to signs and we drive by feel / be a believer believe everything you'll be right / half the time / candle is waxing takes my apartment I bask in its magic / all of the firefighters put out my fires took all my matches / staying up later waking up old and I'm leaving her never / ordering in all friends and lovers and we're making our weather with a lone light bulb / I'm tired of fighting / I'm tired of fighting, so I'm demolished - that's the way / some make exhaustion a mode of expression and that's their way / I'm just a question knowing my answer I hope I'm wrong / but I know the answer it's four in the morning I'm right again and I'm chinatown / now in a hurry, rubbing up urgent to get home to dot / was my missed mistress messed up my mattress I missed the catch / last of the pitchers catfish done hunting harry lundt / most of the killers never get famous and it's hard on everyone / I'm tired of fighting

something weird that pops up...i live in pasadena, ca, where the lead singer is from. whenever i drove through traffic in the morning, to get downtown, by the time i see the sign for "chinatown," this song is playing. probably just a coincidence, but just kind of cool nonetheless.
The question demonstrates that the game/show goes on. I think that's Blake's thinking, bu, go figure. I told him who harry Lunte was and he used it in his own way. That's why he's Blake.
Harry Lunte, who pinch hit for the "mortally wounded" Chapman, passed away on 27-July 1965; the same day that Catfish Hunter earned his first win in Major League Baseball.
Perhaps this is in reference to that continuity that Blake discussed. Lunte, for lack of a better description, lived on for Chapman. Chapman's legacy lived through Lunte. And when Lunte died, did Catfish pick up Lunte's ... legacy? I don't know, but that death date/first career win date is the connection between the two players.
oh well.
this is deff. one of my fave. JTB songs :)
