Life on the Run

[Verse 1]
Home Alone with Philip Roth
And a sweater I got from H&Moth
It's the first day of summer and I got me a fever
I get a message from Turner and he says
"Ivar, c'est bon man"
I live the life of a raconteur
I play guitar and I go on tour
It doesn't matter that I am poor
I'm a king man

[Verse 2]
Sixteen sharks in a tidal wave
Can't even look at a blade and so I never shave
I get irrational fears and timidity
And cold cold sweat from anxiety
I'm feeling like the Batman
I'm feeling like Superman
I'm feeling like a man who's got to hide
Everything he is from the world outside
And it's not cool

[Verse 3]
I bruisеd a muscle and I broke my jaw
I've been hasslеd by the goddam law
They get away with murder and racial wars
And I'm just watching Louie free of charge
And I've been chasing my tail
And they open my mail
They want my ass in jail
And it seems unfair
It's out there

[Verse 4]
I got a girl and she is dope
For my birthday she got me a telescope
She says it's for the eclipse, for the moon and the sun
I watch the people on the street, it's a lot more fun
See, I'm a bit on the wire
Or maybe weirdly wired
I rule the city from a rocking chair
State policy's laissez-faire
I do it, man

[Chorus]
See, I can't settle down
I go crazy when I stay in town
I only come to life on the run
Get me on plane, man
On a bus or on a train, man
And in the morning I'll be gone

[Verse 5]
Fake IDs and a real mustache
Marijuana from a private stash
I never get high, but I will give it a try
Man, I'm going legal in Californ-I-A
I'm on my way
With a fistful of sand and an old palm tree
I close my eyes and then I count to three
And it's alright

[Verse 6]
I dig the Beatles and I dig the blues
The Moldy Peaches and the Silver Jews
I can never imagine what my life would be
If I hadn't always had Bob Dylan with me
I mean, everything he wrote
Man, I'm strung out on heroes
My friend Jeff Lewis says songs about songwriting suck
So I won't even mention the writer's block
I go through sometimes

[Chorus]
See, I can't settle down
I go crazy when I stay in town
I only come to life on the run
Get me on boat, man
On a horse or on a goat, man
And in the morning I'll be gone

[Outro]
In the morning I'll be gone
In the morning I'll be gone
In the morning I'll be gone
