I Was There, also known as...
"Lisa"

(to be performed in a single enrages shout)
I was there. I was white knuckle there.
There with a roar coming out from under my tires
and a scream echoing out of my lungs
that would have set the woods on fire if it hadn't
been raining so god damn hard. I was there, but
I wasn't there long, I can tell you that,
you son of a bitch.
