Adrian Belew - Live In A Tree lyrics

Your mama is crazy And your daddy's evasive And they probably won't leave you alone Between the neighborhood screaming And the laundry and the t.v. You can hardly hear the cellular phone You feel stress, you need a rest Too many things you've got to get off your chest To be free to get some peace You have to live in a tree You gave away your stereo And kept your pocket radio And threw away the keys to your car Then you loaded up a t-shirt Booked a ticket on a steamer And you boarded it for zanzibar You had stress, you needed rest Too many things you had to get off your chest To be free to get some peace You had to live in a tree "live in a tree" Friday may 3, 1996
