    • Verse 1
    I 
    ran 
    down 
    the 
    road, 

    pants 
    down 
    to 
    my 
    knees 

    Screaming 
    "please 
    come 
    help 
    me, 

    that 
    Canadian 
    shaman 
    gave 
    a 
    little 
    too 
    much 
    to 
    me!" 

    And 
    I'm 
    writing 
    a novel 
    because 

    Interlude 1
    it's 
    never 
    been 
    done 
    be
    fore 


    Verse 2
    First 
    house 
    that 
    I 
    saw 
    I wrote 

    house 
    up 
    on 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    told 
    the people 
    who 
    lived 
    there 
    they 
    had 
    to 
    get 

    out 
    "cause 
    my 
    reality 
    is 
    realer 
    than 
    yours" 

    And 
    there's 
    no 
    time 
    for 
    the 
    present 

    And 
    there's 
    a black 
    dog 
    on 
    the 
    bed 

    Verse 3

    I 
    went 
    to 
    the 
    backyard 
    to 

    burn 
    my 
    only 
    clothes 

    And 
    the dog 
    ran 
    out 
    and 
    said 
    "you 
    can't 
    turn 

    nothing 
    into 
    nothing 
    is 
    with me 
    no 
    more" 

    Well 
    I'm 
    no 
    doctor 
    but 
    that 

    monkey 
    might 
    be 
    right 

    And 
    if 
    he 
    is 
    I'll 
    be 
    walking 

    Interlude 2
    him 
    my 
    whole 
    life 


    Verse 4
    I rode 
    to 
    Malibu 
    on 
    a 
    dune 

    buggy 
    with 
    Neil 

    He said 
    "you're 
    gonna 
    have 
    to 
    drive 
    me 
    down 
    on 

    the 
    beach 
    if 
    you 
    ever 
    want 
    to 
    write 
    the 
    real" 

    And 
    I 
    said 
    "I'm 
    sorry, 

    young 
    man 
    what 
    is 
    your 
    name 
    again?" 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    everywhere 
    I 
    go 
    in 
    West 
    Hollywood 

    It's 
    filled 
    with 
    people 
    pretending 
    they don't 
    see 
    the 

    actress 
    and 
    the 
    actress 
    wishing 
    that 
    they 
    could 

    We 
    could 
    do 
    ayahuasca 

    Baby 
    if 
    I 
    wasn't 
    holding 
    all 

    these 
    drinks 

    Verse 6

    Something 
    'bout 
    the 
    way 

    Violet 
    whips 
    her 
    hair 

    That 
    makes 
    me 
    empty 
    my pockets 
    on 
    the 
    corner 
    to 

    corner 
    bumming 
    twenties 
    as 
    if 
    I 
    was 
    the 
    mayor 

    I 
    don't need 
    any 
    new 
    friends, 
    Momma 

    But 
    I could 
    really 
    use 
    something 
    to do 

    So 
    if 
    you're 
    up 
    for 
    it 
    sometimes 

    I swear 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    have 

    Interlude 3
    to 
    be 
    my 
    muse 


    Verse 7
    Heidegger 
    and 
    Sartre, drinking 

    poppy 
    tea 

    I could've 
    sworn 
    last 
    night 
    I passed 
    out 
    in 
    my 
    van 

    and 
    now 
    these 
    guys 
    are 
    pouring 
    one 
    for 
    me 

    I'll 
    never 
    leave 
    the canyon 
    'cause 
    I'm 

    surrounded 
    on 
    all 
    sides 

    By people 
    writing 
    novels 

    Outro 1
    and 
    living 
    on 
    amusement 
    rides

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
