Bas Jan Ader

Tell me that the body tells a story

Can you read between the lines?

When you look into my eyes

Do you see a scarry night?

Remember I was dense, made me paint the fence

To work my way into your life

And the public schools tried to ban Mark Twain

When they knew that it wasn't right

Well, it takes a lot of nerve

To live on planet Earth

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

It was the worst

Saw you walking up with a basket of fruit

In a funeral suit through the door

Paying your respects to the dead insects

Who have eaten through the apple core

Another habit kicked, one-way road trip

Another bible in a motel drawer

Ah man, I think I’ve seen this one before

Some nostalgia you just can't ignore

And you've got a lot to learn

Living on planet Earth

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

It was the worst

It was the worst

Shamrock on a jacket, dropped into a casket

Baby, that’s no way to die

I never thought I'd see 45

How is it that I'm still alive?

In search of that miraculous mystery

Crying on a movie screen

Leaving the harbor with Bas Jan Ader

Sailing out to sea

It takes a lot of nerve

To sail around the world

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

It was the best

It was the best

In Los Angeles

It was the best

In Los Angeles

I wanna see, out to sea

Out to sea

It was the best

In L.A

I love her soul
