lyrics

It’s so sweet to feel heat from the sunshine/ tappin’ your feet to the beat of a drum-line/ seeing T-Rex through your specs in the clouds/ and I’m good to just chill and check it out...
No “what’s next?” learn to earn respect in the crowds, yo connect and deplete your self-doubt/ look around, tell me what it’s all about/ look down at the ground tell me what it’s all about...

He’s livin’ with the crows and I bet you know that seeds growd’ up...

It’s so drastic it rattles the pastic/ but it’s still fantastic magic that they’re casting/ and I’m ego-blasting side ways out the box/ let me tell you something...how I got to detox...

You see I took some shit and got messed/ oh but I thought it blessed/ I must confess I only sought happyness/ but in my duress I can get no rest/ hopefully I will find a nest...

He’s livin’ with the crows and I bet you know that seeds growd’ up...

So I was brought to the hospital/ the doc thought it optimal/ to have me under observation/ that’s when I lost my patience...I felt invaded/ and perpetrated my hands were cuffed/ infuriated I made a fuss/ I was sedated, left a sheet, the door was shut. I guess they had enough.

He’s livin’ with the crows and I bet you know that seeds growd’ up...

It’s 5 in the a.m./ I hear the raven/ callin’ from his haven and this wool sweaters’ saving me/ yo survive constantly/ that’s my philosophy/ and it ought to be.../I’m lickin’ flowers for their dew drops, and I climb up to the tree tops/ oops I lost my high-tops/ and I’m gettin stoped by the cops/ i tie rocks to arm to protect me from the harm/ I’m sick of the car alarms, boy get me on a farm...I’m paranoid no lock and key, I need someone to talk and see/ that i’m feeling awfully alone...

He’s livin’ with the crows and I bet you know that seeds growd’ up...

And this scene is obscene/ I’m feeling kinda lean/ I gotta fix for the buzz gonna make me mean/ I’m pickin up butts for the nicotine/ it’s like a dream/ I don’t know where I’ve been...

It’s kinda hard to be safe when your homeless/ so stressed/ got no place to undress/ in the darkness/ I want to feel your caress/ yo I’m coping/ hold my knees close to my chest/ if it’s a test, yeah I’m trying my best/ to get myself out of the wreck, plus protect my neck/ and I will never forget to represent/ cuz birds of a feather they flock together...

You ask me was it worth it to go down the rabbit hole/ sure it wasn’t perfect, but I still got my soul/ and it goes...and it goes...
