I did not come here
to talk about orange
and all of the things
that have come up before us
and florida and that warm catchy chorus
the season of dreams
and our clothes on the floor

i solemnly swear
that forever more
i’ll remain bare naked
underneath my chores
i push my broom
in my underwear and my attitude
and nothing more

i got big hair, don’t care
cause its full moon in leo
emotional ocean
chinese zodiac trio
monkey rat dragon
good luck and good fortune
wherever we go

i get tired of sending
my songs off and waiting
for some foreign agent to say
let’s make bank
i’ve got friends going grey
just awaiting my face
to arrive on a billboard
on fairfax avenue
in sunny l.a.

better like what you got
going right here and right now
i don’t cast my eyes
down some future scenario
i pledge my allegiance
to this moment between us
can you feel me?

when i’m dead and i’m gone
don’t you come to my grave
saying things should have gone
for her some other way
how it folds and unfolds
only time can tell
may i leave you this laugh
on my stone epitaph?
the dream is alive and well
