On A TV That No One Saw

(album: On A TV That No One Saw - 2021)

It's crazy, isn't it?
How much they call you crazy
And it may be figurative
It's just they called my mother crazy

It just rolls off the tongue
And you swear that you don't even mean it as an insult
But you can go where you want
And I can't

It's got to the point where I'm not destroyed
At least not quite like I used to be
It hits me in waves, and it spits in my face
And I say "thank you" and go back to sleep

And you ask me how I always do that
I said "I guess I've always had the practice"
But if I can only go and do that
Without placing my body on the mattress

Post-modern art, Kaiser hospital parking lot
Rose, corner shot, on a TV that no one saw

And you ask me how I always do that
I said "I guess I've always had the practice"
But if I can only go and do that
Without placing my body on the mattress

It would change my life
It would change my life
