I woke up this morning, August 3rd |
| [00:13.71] |
It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer |
| [00:16.21] |
Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe |
| [00:18.67] |
Went to New Orleans and went to see my family |
| [00:21.31] |
Woke up this morning and it occurred |
| [00:24.23] |
I needed one more track to finish up my record |
| [00:26.44] |
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired |
| [00:28.95] |
Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired |
| [00:31.54] |
Met my girl and we walked down Union Street |
| [00:34.01] |
I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places |
| [00:36.65] |
Bought a 350 dollar pair of lampshades |
| [00:39.41] |
And we ate at Perry's and I ordered crab cakes |
| [00:45.88] |
Blue crab cakes |
| [00:50.40] |
Blue crab cakes |
| [00:55.75] |
Blue crab cakes |
| [01:01.59] |
She said I seemed distracted and asked what was going on with me |
| [01:04.82] |
I said I can't explain it and it's a middle age thing |
| [01:08.04] |
She said okay and ate her eggs Benedict |
| [01:10.77] |
And I looked at the walls cluttered with sports bar shit |
| [01:16.49] |
Sports bar shit |
| [01:21.74] |
Sports bar shit |
| [01:26.99] |
Sports bar shit |
| [02:15.81] |
Got on the phone and I called my mother |
| [02:17.47] |
And called my father, talked a little bit with my sister |
| [02:21.19] |
She's got a new boyfriend, he's a deer hunter |
| [02:23.38] |
And she's getting used to venison |
| [02:26.06] |
And my dad's still fighting with his girlfriend |
| [02:28.22] |
About his flirting with the girls in Panera Bread |
| [02:30.90] |
My mom is good but sounded out of breath |
| [02:33.14] |
I worry so much about her, I worry to death |
| [02:40.24] |
I worry to death |
| [02:44.66] |
I worry about her to death |
| [02:50.25] |
I worry to death |
| [02:57.38] |
The other night I went and saw The Postal Service |
| [03:00.02] |
Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst |
| [03:02.67] |
Trying to park and getting up the hill |
| [03:05.26] |
And find a spot amongst the drunk kids staring at their cells |
| [03:07.44] |
Standing at the back with the crowd of eight thousand |
| [03:10.52] |
I thought of Ben when I met him in 2000 |
| [03:13.27] |
At a festival in Spain |
| [03:15.48] |
He was on the small stage then and I didn't know his name |
| [03:17.99] |
Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves |
| [03:20.29] |
And my legs were hurting and my feet were too |
| [03:23.20] |
I called him after, said I'll skip the backstage high five |
| [03:25.90] |
But thanks for the nice music and all the exercise |
| [03:31.79] |
And we laughed and it was alright |
| [03:36.44] |
And we laughed and it was alright |
| [03:41.82] |
And it was alright |
| [03:47.92] |
There's a fine line between a middle-aged guy with a backstage pass |
| [03:50.72] |
And a guy with a gut hanging around like a jackass |
| [03:54.17] |
Everybody there was twenty years younger than me |
| [03:57.01] |
At least that this is not my fondest memory |
| [03:59.64] |
I carried my legs back down and then I gave |
| [04:01.99] |
My backstage passes to two cute asian girls |
| [04:04.57] |
I drove to my place near Tahoe |
| [04:06.07] |
Got in my hot tub and thought well that's how it goes |
| [04:09.33] |
And it was quiet and I was listening to the crickets |
| [04:11.75] |
And Ben's still out there, selling lots of tickets |
| [04:14.72] |
And though while we pretend that there's a temperature competitiveness |
| [04:17.26] |
But Ben's my friend and I know he gets it |
| [04:19.92] |
Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed |
| [04:22.64] |
Back to the studio doing twelve hours shifts |
| [04:25.17] |
Singing a song about one thing or another |
| [04:27.80] |
Another day behind the microphone this summer |
| [04:35.06] |
This tenderloin summer |
| [04:39.76] |
This tenderloin summer |
| [04:44.67] |
This tenderloin summer |
| [05:13.45] |
