Jeffrey Lewis - Seattle lyrics

Fighting for survival is such a boring Battle Want to get into my car I wanna drive out to Seattle Where the used record stores Have much better prices But I don't have a car And I don't have a license Should I take another walk to the DMV Get another learners permit with a Picture of me I'd put it in my wallet Along with my four dollars And the condom that's still in there That has probably expired I'd leave home for New York But New York is where I'm from I'm just looking for a way To feel my life has begun Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee Living in the city Where I'm working like a walrus But man I don't need your money Man I'm gonna be an artist Feeling like I wanna do whatever I feel inside Put it down on paper And I'll hope that people buy it And my only minor worry Is how to pay the rent But that won't even matter When I lose my apartment Then I'll really have no worries I'll be just like a ca**ette That you've taped up the tabs up To put something new on it And when I hit record God only knows what I will be And if there is no god Then it's a better mystery Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee Fighting for survival and I guess I must Be winning And my story is so long I can't remember the beginning Am I an optimist Or am I a pessimist If I see a half empty half full cup Is half full Of nothingness.
