Bungalow 6

from Cliff Diver by A Modest Proposal

/

lyrics

In Alpine air, mouthing a Havana
OK, fine — life is more
Than beautiful girls and fistfights

I had a few good days
Back in 2005
They are still getting me by

Picking up call girls
And dropping lots of acid
Collecting bugs and butterflies
Looking up the galaxies in me
No one will ever find

Today I controlled myself
Up until 3:45
Then I let the script decide

In the bungalow
Smashing every sales call
Scratching my mosquito bites
Staring my vision of ruin
Into the canvas all night

I was playing a role
I was playing to type
I was scribbling
on a prescription pad
Up shit river with a poem, man
And then some

I was living in the jail
Of the power I feel
Intellectual, cultural life
Acting class on Thursdays at nine

Picasso, Einstein, Jesus Christ —
Those were just phases in my life
A way to tell time
A way to tell time

I was playing a role
I was playing to type
I was scribbling
on a prescription pad
Up shit river with a poem, man
And then some

I was living in the jail
Of the power I feel
Intellectual, cultural life
Acting class on Thursdays at 9

A way to tell time
A way to tell time
