Publius Vergilius Maro (October 15, 70 BC – September 21, 19 BC), usually called Virgil or Vergil /ˈvɜrdʒəl/ in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He is known for three major works of Latin literature, the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. A number of minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, are sometimes attributed to him.
Virgil is traditionally ranked as one of Rome's greatest poets. His Aeneid has been considered the national epic of ancient Rome from the time of its composition to the present day. Modeled after Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, the Aeneid follows the Trojan refugee Aeneas as he struggles to fulfill his destiny and arrive on the shores of Italy—in Roman mythology the founding act of Rome. Virgil's work has had wide and deep influence on Western literature, most notably the Divine Comedy of Dante, in which Virgil appears as Dante's guide through hell and purgatory.
Virgil's biographical tradition is thought to depend on a lost biography by Varius, Virgil's editor, which was incorporated into the biography by Suetonius and the commentaries of Servius and Donatus, the two great commentators on Virgil's poetry. Although the commentaries no doubt record much factual information about Virgil, some of their evidence can be shown to rely on inferences made from his poetry and allegorizing; thus, Virgil's biographical tradition remains problematic.
Plot
In 1957, Golden Globe winner Jayne Mansfield would become one of the most iconic blond bombshells of the 20Th Century. She possessed an IQ of 163, played violin and piano at a concert level, had a degree in Science, spoke 5 languages fluently, and yet became a celebrity by portraying a 'dumb blond.' By the age of 23 she became the most publicized Hollywood star in the world, but her success was short lived. Five children, three ex-husbands, countless love affairs, and addictions to diet pills and booze took its toll on Mansfield, and in 1967 a grisly car accident ended her life. This film features many of Jayne Mansfield's personal items, and focuses on the turbulent final years of the troubled star's career.

VIRGIL
I've got a wife, four grown children
I can't afford their education
I been a prison guard for fourteen years
That ain't exactly a vacation
WARDEN

Well I told you my position
The law says he's got the right to go to school,
We abide by the court's decision
VIRGIL
I got a Winchester 243
I like that gun for deer
Upstate November when the air is free
Smells like hunting season's here
He's the one to keep your eyes on
He's smart yeah and he's quiet
A troublemaker if I ever seen one
Next thing you know it's Attica
And we got a prison riot
There ain't no way that punk gets his degree
And hides behind the Constitution
No way in hell that smart ass spic goes free
Not while I'm in this institution

A lonely man leaps from a mountain town I stop him as
he's half way down Ask him what he's learned about the
trip He shyly smiles and moves his lip A great day for a
car crash A pleasant day to make a change The only thing
left to do Is pull on my parachute It will take longer to
land But I can stand/And if I can count on you To pull on
your parachute We will share time in the air While we
descend Someone take away his gravity He doesn't see he's
plummeting Gaining speed and twisting silently He's sure
to hit a street of trees A great day for the cancer A
pleasant day to play it safe The only thing left to do Is
pull on my parachute It will take longer to land But I
can stand And if I can count on you To pull on your
parachute We will share time in the air While we descend
He's not an arrow But he knows the rest of us know That
he'll fly and he'll try And when he comes crashing The
answers will flash in our face The only thing left to do
Is pull on my parachute It will take longer to land But I
can stand And if I can count on you To pull on your
parachute We will share time in the air I just care that
you're aware But they'll have to meet us there.
I'm free and I'm happy
I am free from your hatred
I've parted from the part
that I participated in
so I'm free it was easy
I know nothing of your hatred
I've known and shone the light
and the darkness abated
so I'm free
run skip jump play
my little boy is happy
look he's smiling because
he knows no fear... hear...
my mommy's calling me
and I'm running thru the fields
because I'm free...
every day in every way
I'm getting better and better and better
and better and better and better, etc
because there's no fear... here why
I can't tell you now cause
I'm runnin through the woods
and I just jumped a little bit higher...
cause I'm free
and that's the way he created me to be
I have turned from your hatred
I turned on the light
and there was nothing there that waited to get me
I've maintained falling on my face
For my own protection
My mistake was having placed my faith
In the wrong direction
Falling forward works
But only if you learn to fall
Backwards first, I am
I'm falling backwards again
I volunteer to figure this out here
As a way of knowing
Angels came, spread their legs and waved
As a way of showing
I will always ask
If you're always there to have my
Backwards I'm am
I'm falling backwards again
The music on the outside
Removes me from my insight
I have angels and
They're offering their eyes
I'm falling backwards, I am
I'm falling backwards again
The music on the outside
Removes me from my insight
The angels move from my side
And offer me their eyes
Try to understand
What I'm not
And what I am
I'm hiding like a boy
But staring like a man
Star above the sea
I live to watch it breathe
Make you make-believe
And tell you how to be
Little girl dance for me
Little girl dance for me
And slowly move your hips
In low circles slowly
Little girl dance for me
Little girl dance
Don't try running
I know where you'll hide
Don't start lying
I can read your mind
Just do everything I taught you to
Got you where I want you
Don't cry baby
When you can't resist
Nothing you can say
Will get you out of this
There's not anything that you can do
Got you where I want you
Try to understand
Who I'm not
And who I am
I'm strong enough to run
But not enough to stand
I've collected moods
The one everybody knows
Holding onto some
But some I'm letting go
Little girl dance for me
Little girl dance for me
And separate your knees
Like you're on a Harley
Little girl dance for me
God damn it
Like there is no one on the planet
Don't try running
I know where you'll hide
Don't start lying
I can read your mind
Just do everything I taught you to
Got you where I want you
Don't cry baby
When you can't resist
Nothing you can say
Will get you out of this
There's not anything that you can do
Got you where I want you
I'm ready to wait in some dark corner
Is it getting late or just getting warmer
Let's play, let's play, my lady
Right now, Right now
Don't try running
I know where you'll hide
Don't start lying
I can read your mind
Just do everything I taught you to
Got you where I want you
Don't cry baby
When you can't resist
Nothing you can say
Will get you out of this
There's not anything that you can do
When the sun burns my eyes
This is my paradise
When my love makes me lie
This is my paradise
I can't wait to meet you
I can't wait to meet you
When the stars froze in size
This is my paradise
When the laws make me wise
This is my paradise
I can't wait to meet you
Remember all the stars we were going to hang upon the walls
And a moon, yeah we were going to hang a moon
The glow in the dark kind, who said I would always find
My place under the sky, but now my star has died
Unlock Me
Unlock Me
I would break what can not break
I would make what can't be made
To remember what I have never known
And remember that big fence we were going to put around the yard
It was going to keep the neighbors to themselves
And I started to run away, but not from my enemies
For I have none of them, I'm running from my friends
Unlock Me
Unlock Me
I would break what can not break
I would make what can't be made
To remember what I have never known
If I could
I would give up everything
And forget my face and name

I would make what can't be made
To remember what I have never known
If I could

God I'm gonna miss this home
Cause I'm not gonna be here long
Watch me try to get my kicks on
Before this whole shithouse explodes
Why does everything suck me in
How does everyone make it fit in the end
There is nothing here
I should disappear
Am I sick or sick of myself
When will I become someone else
God I'm gonna miss the place
I'll find myself a brand new face
Confiscate the lies and colors
Of the whole damn human race
Why does everyone shut me out
It's not about me
It's always about something else
There is nothing here
I could disappear
Am I sick or sick of myself
When will I become someone else
I'm what I've created
I hate being hated
I've waited for changes
But they never come
There is nothing here
I could disappear
Am I sick or sick of myself
When will I become someone else
Is this me, cause I just can't tell
I am Tomorrow's Man
How about this, how about this
We'll start this again
I'll be you, you be me
And try to pretend
That you're in an earthquake
But these walls follow you outside
You're trying to lay down
But something keeps you upright
Should've run, but I can't
Should've come, but I can't
Gave you all that I had
You said that you love me
Could've tried, but I won't
Could've lied, but I won't
Could've cried, but I don't
You said that you love me
You said that you love me
You said that you
Didn't work, you're disturbed
I know that you are
Better yet, let's pretend
That everything's dark
Without any daylight
Just silence breaking silence
Should've run, but I can't
Should've come, but I can't
Gave you all that I had
You said that you love me
Could've tried, but I won't
Could've lied, but I won't
Could've cried, but I don't
You said that you love me
I don't want to walk out
I don't want to break down
I'll be holding my ground
Below and above me
You said that you love me
You said that you love me
Without any motion
Should've run, but I can't
Should've come, but I can't
Gave you all that I had
You said that you love me
Could've tried, but I won't
Could've lied, but I won't
Could've cried, but I don't
You said that you love me
I don't want to walk out
I don't want to break down
I'll be holding my ground
Below and above me
You said that you love me
How much can we know
how far can we go
it's making me crazy
it's making me crazy
but it's always amazing
how much can we choose
how much do we lose
it's making me crazy
it's making me crazy
but it's always amazing
a pair of sick hands
try to tear at their arms
a lunatic lands
in the back of a car crash
taking my time
but i'm taking my choice back
everyone's running
but it's always amazing
it's always amazing
how long can we wait
how much can we take
i don't know if everything has a reason
i don't know that i'm sure
but i'm sure that i know the feeling
it's making me crazy
it's making me crazy

taking my time
but i'm taking my life back
everything shines
through the slit in the fabric
helping me to
run through you.
but it's always amazing
You're getting harder to remember
No, didn't get your stupid letter
So, this is getting weird
I better go
What, of this helpless, crazy talking
Enough of getting skinny
Doing lots of drugs
'Cause we've paid for our mistakes enough
Can we start over, I want to be new
If we could start over, I'd die into you
I promise to learn and to love what you give
If we could start over again
Trust that my heart has never hurt this much
'Cause I've never let it bleed enough
And I miss you
But I don't miss us
Can we start over, I want to be new
If we could start over, I'd die into you
I promise to learn and to love what I give
If we could start over again
You're getting harder to remember
No, didn't get your stupid letter
So, this is getting weird
I better go
Can we start over, I want to be new
If we could start over, I'd die into you
I promise to learn and to love what you give
If we could start over again
Can we start over, I can't see your face
If we could start over, I'd try to behave
I live in a house, but without any doors
So can I come over to yours
Behind every "yes" is a thousand "no's"
That's 999, only one more to go
One more to go

But he made them look bad, made them look bad
Every second has a season, he tells them
But he made them look bad, made them look bad
Heal yourself

The other one he solves their problems of costume
But he made them look bad, made them look bad
They've the mind to hide the blood that make their lines
But he made them look bad, made them look bad
Heal yourself

If you really love me
You'd find me
Though he never had a reason to leave them
But he made them look bad, made them look bad
Every second has a season, he tells them
But he made them look bad, made them look bad
Invisible swords and ropes with rings
Invisible chords and strings
Just another puppet on a wire
I carry water in my hands
I run along miles of sand
We were making X's where you eyes were
There's a part of me
That blames you
There's a part of me
That knows you make me safe
There's a part of me
That hates you
For loving me that way
Another 100, 000 years of rope
Is tying us to the bedpost
Everybody learns to fly in circles
Why is this so obvious
To everyone around, but us
Everybody loves to watch a circus
There's a part of me
That blames you
There's a part of me
That knows you make me safe
There's a part of me
That hates you
For loving me that way
I'm gonna make a wish
To the giver of gifts
Please just let me go
Please just let me go
Please just let me go
Please just let me go
There's a part of me
That blames you
There's a part of me
That knows you make me safe
There's a part of me
That hates you
For loving me that way
There's a part of me
That blames you
There's a part of me
That knows you make me safe
There's a part of me
That hates you
