Miles from Here (Live August 27 - 28, 2006 Mississippi Studios, Portland, OR)

Didn't sleep at all last night
tossing and a turning running 8 millimeter home movies in my head
wouldn't it be nice to turn out all the lights sometimes
I think I'm better off dead

woke up at four went out on the porch
smoke a little chronic watch the howler monkeys ain't it funny
how it always comes down to monkeys yeah

Cocaine makes you nervous and invincible never get enough
always complaining shooting silos of the stuff
like a ballerina moving so gracefully
barking like a dog working so diligently man
I threw it in a can it's more than I can stand today

I can't stand it trying to get some sleep
I can't stand it counting all the sheep
cant stand it practice what I preach
certain kind of heavens are easier to reach than here

I think about you I'd give a million dollars to put it all to bed
and we're through
and Costa Rica ain't far enough
always amazed by the baggage and the burden god intends for me to keep
he's cheap
should I hire me a porter, bellboy or a slave I crave a slave I crave
