This song could be a possible homage to Daniel Johnston and his song titled “Hey Joe,” which appears on his album ‘Hi, How Are You.’ The band have been transparent in past about how much they admire Johnston’s work, whom passed in September 2019.
Hey Jo
How's Los Angeles?
Have you seen any stars?
Does the sunshine get old?
How's that tabby cat
You watched being born?
Just wrote to hope you were good
Things are changing here
A little at a time
I turn my back
Another knot comes untied
Guess that's part of it
You learn to adjust
Do you give to uncertainty?
All that you trust
Fuck my head
Take it back
It's dirty and
I'm on the road again
I said it to you
Fuck my head
Take it back
It's dirty and
I'm on the road again
I said it to you
It was built for cars
It's so unusual here
There's a God in the headlights
There's money uptown
Send my regards
I know we tried
It was built for cars
It's so unusual here
There's a God in the headlights
There's money uptown
Send my regards
I know we tried
Fuck my head
Take it back
It's dirty and
I'm on the road again
I said it to you
Fuck my head
Take it back
It's dirty and
I'm on the road again
I said it to you
Fuck my head
Take it back
It's dirty to you
