[Intro]
E
I ran down the road, pants down to my knees,
E7
screaming please come help me, that Canadian shaman
E7
gave a little too much to me
A
and I'm writing a novel,
E
'cause it's never been done before
[Verse 1]
E
First house that I saw, I wrote house up on the door,
E7
and told the people who lived there they have to get out
E7
'cause my reality is realer than yours
A
ya there's no time in the present,
E
and there's a black dog on the bed
[Verse 2]
E
I went to the backyard, to burn my only clothes,
E7
and then the dog ran out, he said you
E7
can't turn nothing into nothing, this would be no more
A E
Well, I'm no doctor, but that monkey might be right
B7 C#m
and if he is,
E
I'll be walking him my whole life
[Verse 3]
E
I rode to Malibu, on a dune buggy with Neil,
E7
he said you're gonna have to drive me down on the beach
E7
if you ever wanna write for real
A
and I said I'm sorry,
E
young man what was your name again?
[Verse 4]
E
Now, everywhere I go in West Hollywood
E7
it's filled with people pretending they don't see the actress
E7
and the actress wishing that they could
A
we could do ayahuasca,
E
baby, if I wasn't holding all these drinks
[Verse 5]
E
Something 'bout the way Violet whips her hair
E7
makes me empty my pockets on the corner to corner,
E7
bumming twenties as if I was the mayor
A
I don't need any new friends,
E
but I could really use something to do
B7 C#m
so if you're up for it sometime,
E
I swear you wouldn't have to be my muse
[Outro]
E E E E
E
Heidegger and Sartre, drinking poppy tea
E7
I could have sworn last night I passed out in my van
E7
and now these guys are pouring one for me
A
I'll never leave the canyon
E
'cause I'm surrounded on all sides
B7 C#m
by people writing novels
E
and living on amusement rides
