lyrics

When the basement is lacking a lightbulb,
when the 10% chance of rain comes through,
there’s a raccoon napping on the highway.

When the Chilean wine is mostly water,
when the family can no longer
sit together,
Full Metal Jacket is playing.

There’s a group of adults on their smartphones
in a public park on a Sunday
right near a pond
of newborn tadpoles
who don’t know what’s going.
They don’t know what’s going on,
but neither do I.

On a hike and preoccupied by Basho
and the kind of irony that follows
being in beauty
but deferring to an expert.

And the TV is trying to sell me
some kind of meat that’s stuffed with cheese
wrapped in bread that lacks
any nutritional value.

(Kind of makes you wanna go for a bike ride
in the dead of January to see
how) one of
Russia’s greatest
had tried to run away from life --
He tried to run away from life,
but on the way died.

When I see a single mother
pushing a shopping cart of
three screaming children,
I now see what it must have been like.
