about

Well I woke up in the cold grey dawn
The kind they base their novels on
The riff-raff and the street giraffes
all sticking out their knocks
So I rolled a joint and I took a drag
found the bottle in my bag
and I lay back down to toast the rising son

Carry me back home
let me rest my bones
burry me in some lost field
with a rusted car as my tomb

yesterday I found a name
but tomorrow it won't feel the same
no mystery or dignity
was ever written in a song
but the first time I saw that light
I swear it had me hypnotized
The sky's a wheel and I'm gonna ride it on
