| He’s tired of the studio environment | 
| He’s tired of the tour schedule regimen | 
| He’s planning for his early retirement | 
| He’s gonna buy another house and get another renter to pay him rent | 
| He’s gonna buy another house and get another renter to pay him rent | 
| He’s living by the ocean and his lungs are full and old | 
| He’s gonna take a break at his mountain house in the gold rush town | 
| I was dancing around in the backyard with my weed whacker | 
| I was dancing around in the backyard with my goggles on and my weed whacker | 
| I was dancing around with no shirt on and my weed whacker | 
| On my acre of land, just me, myself, and I, and my weed whacker | 
| Walked into town, a guy in the coffee shop had a broken arm | 
| I said, «How'd you do that,» he said, «Too much dancing» | 
| I said, «Never a better way to break your arm» | 
| I said, «I almost broke my arm today too» | 
| He said, «Yeah, how’s that?,» I said, «Weed whacking» | 
| He said, «Yeah man, your face is pretty red and your arms are all scratched» | 
| I said, «Are my eyes going bad or does it smell like someone went camping?» | 
| He said, «Man you seem confused, like might need a little bit of napping» | 
| I said, «Yeah, who’s that in the background on the radio, rapping?» | 
| He said, «They're called Sun Kil Moon, the album is called | 
| Common as Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood | 
| You’ve probably never heard of them | 
| By the way, it’s not the radio, it’s Spotify» | 
| And he said, «What's wrong, you look like you’re going to cry» | 
| He said, «What's wrong, you look like you’re going to cry» | 
| «No, I’m alright but that’s right, I never heard of them | 
| Are they black or are they white?,» he said, «The singer is white» | 
| But he’s not sure about the rest of them | 
| He said, «Man you look confused, can you count to ten? | 
| Can you tell me if it’s day or night, or what month it is? | 
| Do you know where you are right now?» | 
| He’s back by the ocean where his nostrils are full of cypress trees | 
| He’s back by the ocean where his face almost looks like he’s about to sneeze | 
| He hears a Geary Rapid Transit bus going by from his window | 
| He sees the Cliff House sign, he walks alone down | 
| Point Lobos Avenue, San Francisco, California, 940 121 | 
| Where’s he going, I don’t know where he needs to be | 
| Where’s he going, I don’t know and neither do you | 
| Cause actually none of us really know nothing about nothing | 
| There’s a dog named Sally, there was a dog named Sally Muffin | 
| Did I once meet, Kermit Ruffins did | 
| My friend’s grandma made good oyster stuffing | 
| When somebody tries to act like they know a lot about something | 
| Chances are they’re probably talking about a whole lot of nothing | 
| When somebody tries to tell you that they know a lot about something | 
| They’re probably talking about a whole lot of nothing | 
| Am I reading Steinbeck’s The Moon is Down? | 
| Is it me or somebody else in my skin walking around? | 
| Did I once stay and watch the Cliff House burn to the ground? | 
| Did I once make an album called Down Colorful Hill? | 
| Will it pay in dollars or pounds? | 
| Somebody hurry up and write the answer down | 
| Split twenty thousand dollars I believe, not pounds | 
| Doesn’t that make us the coolest guys in town? | 
| Am I singing or am I talking? | 
| What’s your opinion? | 
| Did you ever hear a guy called Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy | 
| Sing a song, let’s hear it | 
| If you did, you had to be crying | 
| If you didn’t cry, you’re probably lying | 
| We don’t see eye to eye and if we don’t | 
| Let’s meet at the halfway line | 
| I’ll do the fishing, you’ll do the frying | 
| What’s important is that we all keep trying | 
| That we don’t keep hurting each other | 
| Accept our differences | 
| Let’s find understanding and never stop trying | 
| Hey, did you see the breaking news? | 
| Are we smart or are we fools? | 
| In my backyard there’s a swimming pool, it’s never used | 
| Hey, there’s a guy walking down the avenue | 
| Pretty sure he’s been through a lot | 
| He always looks deep in thought | 
| He always looks mildly distraught | 
| I want to talk to him but I think I oughta not | 
| I’m projecting his hurt, but I don’t know nothing about nothing | 
| Maybe he’s walking to get a tea and a muffin | 
| Maybe he’s meditating, maybe he’s contemplating | 
| Maybe at the end of the road, someone is waiting for him | 
| There’s a lot to be grateful for at the end of the day | 
| I’m pretty sure I got a lot of help along the way | 
| Sure I could use this verse to drop a couple of names | 
| But to me, you all supported me all the same | 
| I don’t forget who inspired me along the way | 
| You turn on the news | 
| Somebody’s hijacking, someone’s terrorist attacking | 
| Somebody’s hijacking a plane | 
| An actor died and was no longer acting | 
| I was dreaming last night that I was in a shoe store | 
| And they sold suitcases too | 
| But the one I liked was too heavy | 
| I said, «Hey, got any socks?» | 
| He said, «Yeah, they’re up there on the shelf» | 
| And they were a very good value | 
| Then I woke up to the ladies above me yakking | 
| Like the Golden Girls, like them they had squawking | 
| They don’t pause at all, it’s nonstop talk-talking | 
| I went up there and asked them, «Please keep it down» | 
| I was kind and polite, I told them, «I'd like to sleep a few more hours» | 
| They said, «Hey, you’re the one who kept us up all night with your rapping | 
| Who do you think you are anyway, LL Cool J?» | 
| They were right, who the fuck am I? | 
| I’m just a guy making music for Spotify | 
| The ceiling is thin, it’s always been | 
| It is what it is, and it’s beautiful to be alive | 
| To hear the buses going by | 
| To see the raccoons crossing the street from the park at night | 
| And now it’s time to get packing | 
| But not for any kayaking and not for any backpacking | 
| Not for any FedEx tracking, not for any safe cracking | 
| Not for any thumbtacking, not for any haystacking | 
| Not for any carjacking | 
| I’m packing to go do some weed whacking | 
| Pretty soon I’ll be dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker | 
| Dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker | 
| Dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker | 
| Dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker | 
| Dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker | 
| Dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker | 
| Dancing around in my backyard with my weed whacker |
