But still, built into me was this button – when pressed, the button would save me. I don’t know if I was in charge of this button, or if someone somewhere praying for me was in charge of it. I would abandon myself, like when I took the super pill. I would return though, I would recover. Others stayed out there, in a lovely but remote place. (Grace Jones)
