lyrics

I was walking through Echo Park
got my head shaved in the dark
two lips they covered my eyes
to love myself like some cheap fuck
some punk rock
I'd trade my head for two eyes

I'd change my name to better fit in the frame
A deeper rest, man. So much longer than
I refrain.

Walking west towards Fairmount Park
trying to find some shade in the dark
Another pewter night to feast my eyes
You can taste the stale scenes
of hospital lights in moonbeams
where the dogs bark simultaneously
with the neighbors' sighs

When the party is over and the bars close, what you gonna do kid?
Shut puddle people out forever? Are you stoned, are you stupid?

Look another white man with something to say
A billion lead actors, a billion different plays
saying "I don't really wanna live forever/
I don't ever really wanna die"
I'm not trying to be clever and I'm not stupid
I'm just high

When the party is over and the bars close, what you gonna do kid?
Shut puddle people out, are you stoned? You're not stupid.

Drew a cross in the itchy sand with my ghost.
This city left something dirty in my bedroom
but i've dealt with politics for much less
something else, something costlier to the debt

Take away my head, take the stale fumes
the costumes and I'll clean the sink with the Force
Where am I heading? My heart beats so slowly
How much time is left to get to the bar?

I'm not trying to play forever,
Just a few notes passing by
Sometimes what seems a sincere endeavor
it just another casual lie.

I don't really wanna live forever,
I dont ever really wanna die
I'm not trying to be clever
and I'm not stupid
I'm just high.
