With his back against the San Francisco traffic, |
| [00:32.70] |
On the bridges side that faces towards the jail, |
| [00:39.42] |
Setting out to join a demographic, |
| [00:45.66] |
He hoists his first leg up over the rail. |
| [00:52.08] |
And a phone call is made, |
| [00:54.03] |
Police cars show up quickly. |
| [00:58.74] |
The sergeant slams his passenger door. |
| [01:04.80] |
He says, “Hey son why don’t you talk through this with me, |
| [01:11.57] |
Just tell me what you’re doing it for.” |
| [01:17.71] |
“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, |
| [01:21.55] |
It’s the mountains, |
| [01:22.82] |
It’s the fog, |
| [01:24.60] |
It’s the news at six o’clock, |
| [01:27.42] |
It’s the death of my first dog, |
| [01:31.17] |
It’s the angels up above me, |
| [01:34.40] |
It’s the song that they don’t sing, |
| [01:37.76] |
It’s a little bit of everything.” |
| [01:44.43] |
An older man stands in a buffet line, |
| [01:50.55] |
He is smiling and holding out his plate, |
| [01:57.07] |
And the further he looks back into his timeline, |
| [02:03.95] |
That hard road always had led him to today, |
| [02:10.22] |
And making up for when his bright future had left him, |
| [02:16.81] |
Making up for the fact that his only son is gone, |
| [02:23.03] |
And letting everything out once, His server asks him, |
| [02:29.92] |
Have you figured out yet, what it is you want? |
| [02:36.04] |
I want a little bit of everything, |
| [02:40.19] |
The biscuits and the beans, |
| [02:43.04] |
Whatever helps me to forget about |
| [02:45.52] |
The things that brought me to my knees, |
| [02:49.62] |
So pile on those mashed potatoes, |
| [02:52.90] |
And an extra chicken wing, |
| [02:55.69] |
I’m having a little bit of everything. |
| [03:28.85] |
Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations, |
| [03:36.22] |
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall, |
| [03:42.43] |
Her man says, “Baby, can I make an observation? |
| [03:49.31] |
You don’t seem to be having any fun at all.” |
| [03:55.30] |
She said, “You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size, |
| [04:02.44] |
And rest assured that this is making me feel good, |
| [04:09.33] |
I think that love is so much easier than you realize, |
| [04:16.00] |
If you can give yourself to someone, |
| [04:19.31] |
Then you should. |
| [04:22.59] |
Cause it’s a little bit of everything, |
| [04:26.28] |
The way you choke, the way you ache, |
| [04:29.61] |
It is getting up before you, |
| [04:32.45] |
So I can watch you as you wake. |
| [04:35.88] |
So in the day in late September, |
| [04:39.43] |
It’s not some stupid little ring, |
| [04:42.26] |
I’m giving a little bit of everything. |
| [04:49.30] |
Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, |
| [04:53.04] |
It’s the matador and the bull, |
| [04:56.33] |
It’s the suggested daily dosage, |
| [04:59.41] |
It is the red moon when it’s full. |
| [05:03.26] |
All these psychics and these doctors, |
| [05:06.45] |
They’re all right and they’re all wrong, |
| [05:09.34] |
It’s like trying to make out every word, |
| [05:12.92] |
When they should simply hum along, |
| [05:16.13] |
It’s not some message written in the dark, |
| [05:19.42] |
Or some truth that no one’s seen, |
| [05:23.07] |
It’s a little bit of everything. |
