lyrics

I’ve been taking the train
From the dock to buy guitar strings
singing songs six days a week
I never really liked myself

I’ve been sleeping in late
I sold a song to a show on the TV
I made a couple bands
And I spend it on a string of dates with a penpal I will marry

and the time zones interweave
creating patterns
that I trace when I am lying
in my parents basement

take it all apart
it’s part and parcel
I came here with a strange and honest feeling
Chase all of your contradicting versions
Childhood perversions and dreams that never steered
Let them drive a little while
So that I can disappear

I’ve been living in my car
lost in a flea market, looking for my family
I met a girl in a little café
And along the way, we fell in love

I kissed her on the mouth
In a hammock, then we headed south
Now she’s screaming out a primitive yelp
And giving birth

And the time zones interweave
Creating patterns
That I trace and fall asleep
at a truck stop in my Malibu

take it all apart
it’s part and parcel
I came here with a strange and honest feeling
Chase all of your contradicting versions
Childhood perversions and dreams that never steered
Let them drive a little while

So that I can disappear into the great unknown
I am nameless
A coward called courageous by proxy of my trade
I will fade on an idea
Let it drive a little while so that I can disappear
