Lyrics to The Ericks and Melanies "Picture Show"
The Ericks and Melanies - Picture Show
Time is tall as trees we sit in
looking for some bones to fit in
empty words to sticky notions
poetry for familiar motions
pen-strokes waiting to catch our faces
sort them into fashion places
here we hang our knuckles white
cause from up here things seem alright

The worst JavaScript I've ever mistaken for working code.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
("#URL").change(function() {
if ((this).val()) {
window.open((this).val());
("#formElement").submit();
}
});
});
