LYRICS
I ran down the road
Pants down to my knees
Screaming, “Please come help me
That Canadian shaman
Gave a little too much to me!
And I’m writing a novel!
Because it’s never been done before!”
The first house that I saw
I wrote “house” up on the door
And told the people who lived there
They had to get out ‘cause
“My reality is ‘realer’ than yours
And there’s no time in the present!
And there’s a black dog on the bed!”
I went to the backyard
To burn my only clothes
And the dog ran out and said,
“You can’t turn nothing into nothingness
With me no more!”
Well, I’m no doctor
But that monkey might be right
And if he is, I’ll be walking him my whole life
I rode to Malibu
On a dune buggy with Neil
He said, “You’re gonna have to drown me
Down on the beach
If you ever want to write ‘the real’!
And I said, “[Uhhhh…] I’m sorry…
Young man, what was your name again?”
Now everywhere I go
In West Hollywood
Is filled with people pretending
They don’t see the actress
And the actress wishing that they could
We could do ayhuasca
Baby, if I wasn’t holding all these drinks
Something about the way
Violet whips her hair
That makes me empty my pockets
Holding court in the corner
Burning twenties as if I was the mayor
Well, I don’t need any new friends
But I could really use something to do
So if you’re up for it sometime
I swear you wouldn’t have to be my muse
Heiddeger and Sartre
Drinking poppy tea
I could have sworn last night
I passed out in my van
And now these guys are pouring one for me
I never leave the canyon
‘Cause I’m surrounded on all sides
By people writing novels
And living on amusement rides

nicksjamin1 Yeah, well I can clearly hear it. Definitely not sayin' your wrong. You kinda expect harmony vocals singing PAPERBACK WRITERRRRRRR to come in at the right moment. Can't place the Monkee's musical song explicitly, it sort of sounds like a couple tunes, but more of a vibe with the proper musical tones than something specific There are references lyrically to both bands though. "But that monkey might be right" and well, I don't think he could get much closer to plagiarism than the title lol. I'm sure it crossed his mind.

here is a man writing the real folks.......... I remember when I showed my little brother Elliott Smith. talking about getting high on amphetamines, swearing, it wasn't something that was commonly equated with the genre he presented it in. FTM's doing that here too, but to a much grander extent. I never thought i'd hear a guy sing a song about poppy tea. I've known so many spectacular musicians who also had a tremendous wit and physical comedy about them. by intertwining those two strengths into his music FTM's making some really unique, cool stuff. "bored in the USA" is a bit more obviously brilliant. it's all such fun. such a fun album to listen to.
