I'm Writing A Novel-Father John Misty

[00:03.890]I ran down the road, pants down to my knees [00:09.230]Screaming "please come help me, [00:11.600]that Canadian shaman gave a little too much to me!" [00:14.610]And I'm writing a novel because it's never been done before [00:26.980]First house that I saw I wrote house up on the door [00:32.460]And told the people who lived there [00:35.500]they had to get out "cause my reality is realer than yours" [00:36.820]And there's no time for the present [00:42.430]And there's a black dog on the bed [00:50.150]I went to the backyard to burn my only clothes [00:55.550]And the dog ran out [00:57.460]and said "you can't turn nothing into nothing is with me no more" [01:01.500]Well I'm no doctor but that monkey might be right [01:18.410]And if he is I'll be walking him my whole life [01:28.0]I rode to Malibu on a dune buggy with Neil [01:33.289]He said "you're gonna have to drive me down on the beach [01:36.530]if you ever want to write the real" [01:38.600]And I said "I'm sorry, young man what is your name again?" [01:50.870]Now everywhere I go in West Hollywood [01:57.400]It's filled with people pretending they don't see the actress [02:00.610]and the actress wishing that they could [02:02.370]We could do ayahuasca [02:06.810]Baby if I wasn't holding all these drinks [02:14.530]Something 'bout the way Violet whips her hair [02:19.940]That makes me empty my pockets [02:21.530]on the corner to corner bumming twenties [02:23.950]as if I was the mayor [02:25.610]I don't need any new friends, Momma [02:30.200]But I could really use something to do [02:36.850]So if you're up for it sometimes [02:41.680]I swear you wouldn't have to be my muse [02:55.820]Heidegger and Sartre, drinking poppy tea [03:00.930]I could've sworn last night I passed out in my van [03:03.330]and now these guys are pouring one for me [03:06.540]I'll never leave the canyon 'cause I'm surrounded on all sides [03:17.380]By people writing novels and living on amusement rides
