But what does it actually mean?

“Drawing lines around your body…making marks on the mucky floor”

A desert has its own rules - outside the circle its cruel

They are being rude, no?

Anyway we should really campaign to get the lyrics officially changed - monkeys & bunnies are way better Kiss

Isn't that what they do when someone got murdered?

And everything I got, best believe I bought it!

891.73 is the Dewey Decimal number used in libraries for books that are classified as Russian literature.

It never occurred to me that “we'll meet in Russian literature” might involve a library. Hmmmmm.

Well blow me down.

I never would have known that,Writer,if you hadn't enlightened us.I reckon you're right.


And I was thinking that the reference to meeting again in Russian Literature was something to do with doomed lovers.Cool

i always thought library. but not cause of numbers. I used to meet up in the classics corner with my friend's sister. strictly a study thing though.
