"I know there is a cure for whatever bioterrorism they throw at us, I know theres one. And it lies within Keith Richards, I do know that. He is the only man on the planet that could go (imitates Keith snorting something) "Anthrax? All right! Doesnt go with my E. coli, but fuck." Keith is the only man who makes The Osbournes look fucking Amish. Hes insane. Ive seen Keith go to a drug dealer and the drug dealers goin, "Im out, man, Im sorry. I have nothing left!" Supposedly, he goes to Switzerland and changes his blood. Not like one pint, but like a fucking Chevrolet, all of it. I just wanna know, who gets his blood? Some old Swiss mans going, "HEIDI!! Weve gotta go on tour, you bitch! Weve gotta pay for Micks babies! COME ON!!!" Because I know this. I know that we may all be dead and gone, Keith will still be there with 5 cockroaches. Keith will go, "Ya know, I smoked your uncle! Did ya know that? Fucking crazy!"

"I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore, I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black With flowers and my love, both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby, it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door, I must have it painted black Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts Its not easy facing up, when your whole world is black"
