lyrics

Permit me to return
To where the golden-haired, angel-headed hipster hills tumble into the sea
To where the phantom houseboat bobs drunkenly

I’ll grab a burger at Nepenthe
And hop on the transit
I’m going back to Monterey Bay
You know, I got my start out there
I was a crooked, flaming arrow, didn’t know about SEO
Only sand dollars in my wallet
I was the sadist in Steinbeck
The mean drunk in Hendrix
I did whippits when I tripped
All I wanted was to be a musician
But now I’m lost in the shuffle
Minting an NFT
Hoping web 3 will rescue me
Paying playlisters to feature me
Making a reel, feeling unreal
Why am I reeling?
Behavioral science
In the hands of tech giants
A gun in the hands of a child
All I wanted was to be a musician
Not to compete for divided attention
I ain’t autotuned or silver-spooned
I’m going back to Monterey Bay

From Leonin to Lennon
I can't be heard above the din
From Hildegard of Bingen to Billie Eilish
I can't be heard above the din
From the Guidonian hand to Bad Finger
From Sha Na Na to Ed Sheeran
From Art Tatum to Arto Lindsay
Where do I fit in? The deadliest of sins?
From Seneca the Younger to Antonio Damasio
Where do I begin?
