You stand up like you just fell down

Swimming up river like you know how to drown

And you pave the way

With all your proper nouns

You genuflect when you should take a rest

Bowing to the east and fast asleep in the west

You could change your mind

With the heart in your chest

Just drop out

Go for a drive

Like your daddy used to do

In 1965

And you can listen to the radio

All the way to San Francisco

A lost pause is all that you found

Peeking round the corner for a singular sound

And you stop to talk

When you hit holy ground

The graveyard doesn't care for your type

When you're eating your bananas way before they get ripe

And you peel that green skin

And call your guru on skype

Drop out

Go for a drive

Like your daddy used to do

In 1965

And you can listen to the radio

All the way to San Francisco

Drop out

Hitchin' a ride

Like your daddy used to do

Before he swallowed his pride

But you can listen to the radio

All the way to San Francisco
