I just drove through a hurricane and it made me think of you All the bottles and the rooftops and the things that we went through And now I'm back in Georgia to scared to see my friends 'Cause the road I'm on, the road I'm on, is a road that never ends One day I'll move to Portland, One day I'll move to France One day I'll go back to San Francisco and give peace another chance One day I wont feel guilty for how I live my life And I'll sing and draw with a backpack on and a little travellin' wife You should have seen my garden it was the talk of all the town The bushes all grew hardback books with the most clever lines around The trees all sang Gorillaz songs and spoke in poetry It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen 'till it was burned by the FCC Do you remember back in my room, how hot that it would get? And we'd hang outside my windowsill and smoke our cigarettes You said you'd always love me with your eyes so full of glow But when I saw your smile with your new boyfriend I'm glad you let me go I met a friend in Portland, whose name that I can't say He never got his citizenship, not in the USA The cops would always come around and give us all abuse He never gave an inch to those fucking pigs, so what is your excuse?

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me If you live inside my songs how can I be so lonely its four in the morning and i'm on the mountain face its five in the morning and i am in my place i suck on burning paper tubes all night and all day its six in the morning and i'm pretty far away its seven in the morning and i'm out of cigarettes i climb down the mountain face on a money burning quest i find an ancient red wood trunk fifty miles wide i climb the bark with the rising sun to see what is inside a stop sign and a spider and a city made of glass and the spider has a headband and it says that he kicks ass he says "Taft you need to follow me this is not a game, put your existential loneliness inside a paper plane climb and climb and climb and climb right up the tallest tree and throw your paper airplanes every direction you can see be happy and write music and learn how to cook and when you get back to the city find me on facebook" so i did what he said and i did what i did, and i never saw a sunrise without coming to a skid i wish i had my lady and i wish that it was you but now you're just a ghost again and that will have to do i'm in another coffee shop and that will have to do i wish i had more books to read but i guess i have a few they say when you're on a journey to fill your mind to the brim, the universe around you will bend to your whim when i first saw that my face burst out into smiles and the airplanes that i threw all flew for many miles and the airplanes that i threw all flew for many miles and the airplanes that i threw all flew for many miles

My morals are crumbling like dead skin, chipped paint; I'm crossdressing my need for actions with restraint I'll just take a little little little push over the edge or chop some cops heads teach politicians respect in '62, Y2K, 2013 we all got scared from a dead world with no meaning But we still got a world full of angry men with their finger on the stop so BEDOH BOOP BOP FUCK THE COPS! So here's an ode to all, an ode to all, as the shopping carts rolled, we began to fall and here's and ode, here's an ode to the curtains 'cuz we don't gotta burn all of them to make the man start hurting And I don't know, I don't know what to do How's a shitty little dirty boy supposed to stop us all from getting screwed, man? I'm just trying to do my best to keep the world going Trying to start start a world of new ideas; community, sustainability, a world a world without fears But I'm just a kid with a guitar and some top so BEDOH BOOP BOP FUCK THE COPS! And all this world, all this world is for me I'm the main character and you're the side story But that's true, that's true for you too! I'm just the boy on the corner, blowing smoke at you I might look a little scary with my stupid damn tattoos But you got a story that I want to hear from you, We all got a story of life, love, greed and trust, and that's something no one can ever take from us Except for an ear, or a paper on a table-top so BEDOH BOOP BOP FUCK THE COPS!
