about

this song is dedicated to my landlord Crazy Joe.

lyrics

crazy joe always calls me on the phone
wants to use my guitar to put music to his poems
your landlord is supposed to leave you alone
but I can't complain, I don't mind

my rooms converge to reveal
the shape of my body and the color of my flesh
like paint bein' poured on my invisible head
the magnets on the fridge and the big brass bed
I fall in love
with bein' possible to apprehend

I would call me a simple man
stretch my skin to cover up the pots and pans
crazy joe comes knockin', I say I've got plans
and I sit in my chair and I hide

my rooms converge to reveal
the shape of my body and the color of my flesh
like paint bein' poured on my invisible head
the magnets on the fridge and the big brass bed
I fall in love
with bein' possible to apprehend

when I bring you home to see my furniture
you say I've got good bones 'cause you see my worth
there's paint stains all on the light fixtures
but just look at my beautiful life

my rooms converge to reveal
the shape of my body and the color of my flesh
like paint bein' poured on my invisible head
the magnets on the fridge and the big brass bed
I fall in love
with bein' possible to apprehend
