lyrics

Though you've got the line on what to play
Can we respect the seven seconds of delay?
You've got to know this is goin' wrong
You destroyer got me singin' pretty songs

I won't be at the Be-In for you to "open up your mind"
I was hoping you were the future and not the past
I'll be your city's Arrowsmith if I can ever find the time
Who can know what's turning on vs. what is passed?

Bellboy in the Hilton family way
You caught the terror from the concierge that day
You should've known there was something wrong
Vincent Gallo was the guest who stayed too long

I won't be at the Be-In for you to open up your mind
I was hoping you were the first but not the last
I'll be your personal Arrowsmith if I can ever find the time,
or show me going west and going fast

I got a love, but my love is young
Paris may be lost but the girl has won
The honeymoon is over, but it hasn't happened yet
Leave this suite, we can release you from this debt

So:
I dropped out of the Drop-In so I could hexorcise my mind
You were hopin' I was still open to something new
I'll be your city's Arrowsmith if I can ever find some time
Am I not defined by what I finally do?

"Listening to this album is a lot like spending a happy afternoon with a group of unpretentious archivists as they pull one discovery after another out of their collections, saying, 'Yes, but have you heard this?'"
