lyrics

Graffiti on a train, passing signs, far away gangs
I jumped into a freight and crossed my legs
I had a bottle of rum, shared it with a bum
He told me he was in ZZ Top, then played a song with his cane, he sang
Life, it isn’t fair, so I make it all up, like an origami bird
Life’s not fair
You say you despise everything that I am, put a heart in a robot and call it a man
Build a house by the river, and wait for the flood
I walked out in the foggy in my alligator shoes, found a camp of madmen
Singing nonsense playing blues, at three A.M. I laid there without sleep or urge to stay
I could hear my train was coming in the distance far away
Skipping through the darkness with a knapsack full of junk
Duane Allman passed on a motorcycle, swerving like a drunk, he sang
Life it isn’t fair, so I make it all up, like an origami bird

I see ten thousand faces, twenty thousand eyes are shut.
Life was never fair my friends, that’s why I make it up
I make it all up
The year that you were born (I make it all up)
How much money you make (I make it all up)
It wasn’t quite that high (I make it all up)
How you got that scar (I make it all up)
How big it really is (I make it all up)
The cops were never called (I make it all up)
We didn’t actually have any sex at all
