lyrics

Good morning my friends let me tell ya
About the time that i jalmost died
I fell from the top of a mountain's side
I tell you no word of a lie
But the part that is oft misinterpreted
Is of what which this mountain comprised
Most assume it to be earth and boulders
But it was really ego and pride

The best ideas come on the shitter
The worst ones, out in the wash
Most feelings of dread get better in bed
Oh my god oh my goodness oh my gosh

Last night i was feeling quite terrible
And i laid it all out on the line
Instead of being grounded and present
I put it on good friends of mine
They all said i needed professional help
So i looked to the sky and i prayed
Please god wont you give me a reason
For my life has already been made

The best ideas come on the shitter
The worst ones out in the wash
Most feelings of dread get better in bed
Oh my god oh my goodness oh my gosh

Before i became a songwriter
Before i was even a soul
I used to be made of ideas
I was nothing but perfect and whole
But then came the birth and the earth world
Then came the trauma and tears
Then came the game of my body and name
And a life in the prison of years

The best ideas come on the shitter
The worst ones out in the wash
Most feelings of dread get better in bed
Oh my god oh my goodness oh my gosh
