Bas Jan Ader
Tell me that the body tells a story
Can you read between the lines?
When you look into my eyes
Do you see a scarry night?
Remember I was dense, made me paint the fence
To work my way into your life
And the public schools tried to ban Mark Twain
When they knew that it wasn't right
Well, it takes a lot of nerve
To live on planet Earth
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the worst
Saw you walking up with a basket of fruit
In a funeral suit through the door
Paying your respects to the dead insects
Who have eaten through the apple core
Another habit kicked, one-way road trip
Another bible in a motel drawer
Ah, man, I think I've seen this one before
Some nostalgia you just can't ignore
And you've got a lot to learn
Living on planet Earth
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the worst
It was the worst
Shamrock on a jacket, dropped into a casket
Baby, that's no way to die
I never thought I'd see 45
How is it that I'm still alive?
In search of that miraculous mystery
Crying on a movie screen
Leaving the harbor with Bas Jan Ader
Sailing out to sea
It takes a lot of nerve
To sail around the world
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the best
It was the best
In Los Angeles
It was the best
In Los Angeles
I wanna see, out to sea
Out to sea
It was the best
In L.A.
I love her soul
Can you read between the lines?
When you look into my eyes
Do you see a scarry night?
Remember I was dense, made me paint the fence
To work my way into your life
And the public schools tried to ban Mark Twain
When they knew that it wasn't right
Well, it takes a lot of nerve
To live on planet Earth
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the worst
Saw you walking up with a basket of fruit
In a funeral suit through the door
Paying your respects to the dead insects
Who have eaten through the apple core
Another habit kicked, one-way road trip
Another bible in a motel drawer
Ah, man, I think I've seen this one before
Some nostalgia you just can't ignore
And you've got a lot to learn
Living on planet Earth
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the worst
It was the worst
Shamrock on a jacket, dropped into a casket
Baby, that's no way to die
I never thought I'd see 45
How is it that I'm still alive?
In search of that miraculous mystery
Crying on a movie screen
Leaving the harbor with Bas Jan Ader
Sailing out to sea
It takes a lot of nerve
To sail around the world
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the best
It was the best
In Los Angeles
It was the best
In Los Angeles
I wanna see, out to sea
Out to sea
It was the best
In L.A.
I love her soul
