Seattle |
Fighting for survival is such a boring Battle |
Want to get into my car |
I wanna drive out to Seattle |
Where the used record stores |
Have much better prices |
But I don’t have a car |
And I don’t have a license |
Should I take another walk to the DMV |
Get another learners permit with a Picture of me |
I’d put it in my wallet |
Along with my four dollars |
And the condom that’s still in there |
That has probably expired |
I’d leave home for New York |
But New York is where I’m from |
I’m just looking for a way |
To feel my life has begun |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee |
Living in the city |
Where I’m working like a walrus |
But man I don’t need your money |
Man I’m gonna be an artist |
Feeling like I wanna do whatever |
I feel inside |
Put it down on paper |
And I’ll hope that people buy it |
And my only minor worry |
Is how to pay the rent |
But that won’t even matter |
When I lose my apartment |
Then I’ll really have no worries |
I’ll be just like a cassette |
That you’ve taped up the tabs up |
To put something new on it |
And when I hit record |
God only knows what I will be |
And if there is no god |
Then it’s a better mystery |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee |
Fighting for survival and I guess I must Be winning |
And my story is so long |
I can’t remember the beginning |
Am I an optimist |
Or am I a pessimist |
If I see a half empty half full cup |
Is half full |
Of nothingness |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee |
Dee dee dee dee |
