lyrics
Sometimes I write my best
When my head feels like it's bursting at the seams
From working sixteen-hour days
And my eyelids are drooping like blinds
From not sleeping enough
And I'm in New York
In the summertime
Sitting on the sweaty C train
To Brooklyn
Comatose
And sitting next to me there’s a fat man
With a cane in his lap
His breath smelling like alcohol
And he belongs in a much better cartoon
Than this
And across from me
Standing by the door
There's a girl with the face of Che Guevara
Tattooed in black
To her bicep
And she reminds me
Of the wind
And at the other end of the car
There's a crazy lady screaming
I feel it all, I feel it all I feel it all, I feel it all
Out of pain comes birth, out of fire came the earth
But maybe she’s the least crazy one
Of us all
And they've been trying to chain down
All of the balloons of the world
Been trying to chain down all the balloons of the world
Trying to deflate the dreams out of them
Beat the youth out of them
And they've been trying
To do the same
To me
But I won't let them
Because I know that in order to eat the fruit
I ate for lunch today
There was a little farmer
Out there
Out there
Out there
Planting seeds and praying
For rain
