All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

- from Mad World as sung by Gary Jules (remade from the Tears for Fears song)
This song closes out Donnie Darko. I've had it stuck in my head ever since I watched the movie on Friday.

I was excited enough by the Friday showing that I've put the movie into my Netflix queue so that I can watch it again this week.

Anyhow, "Mad World" -- quite a poignant tune. Haunting, almost.
