Making lyrics feel natural, sit on music in such a way that you don't feel the effort of the author, so that they shine and bubble and rise and fall, is very, very hard to do.

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges, too
And the sun poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses
Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses

Toxic people get removed from where I'm stayin'
Trust me, you can leave with that same energy you came with
My pen is psychedelic, inject it
They pop pills just to get to where my spirit naturally is, pardon the kid

Oh, we come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age’s most uncertain hour
And sing an American tune
Oh, it’s all right, it’s all right
It’s all right, it’s all right
You can’t be forever blessed

Thirty under thirty for another year
I can barely go outside, I think I hate it here
Maybe I should think about a new career
Somewhere in Kauai where I can disappear

That I can use
Three chords and the truth
Shot of rhythm and blues

Come on move where dreams increase
Where every man is a masterpiece
If you want to be counted as another kind
And you're true, pursue
Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind

Wish I had a dollar
For every time they say
Don't you miss the feeling music gave you
Back in the day?
Let's groove, September
Earth, Wind and Fire
Hot Pants, by James
Sly's gonna take you higher

When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turned me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man?

Saint Joni ain't no phony
Smoking Reds where Furry sang the blues
My Marilyn shot her heroin
"Hell," she said, "It's better than abuse"
So who am I trying to be?
A benzo beauty queen?

I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar

Regular exercise at the gym three days a week
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease
Eating well
No more microwave dinners and saturated fats

They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air
And tell you that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

Plugged into our hubs
Skin and bones
A frozen smile on every face
As the stories replay
This must have been a wonderful place

Some say they'll never be certain
But still it's been written in a history of lovers
In givin’ and takin’ and ink

If you want to write a song about the moon
Walk along the craters in the afternoon
When the shadows are deep and the light is alien
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement
And you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spiritual tune

And everybody up on Linden know we get the job done

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
