drive to doolittle

we measure time by how much we think we've done before the sun sinks and leaves the sky

some people say the town doolittle doesn't exist

they dismiss it as a myth but i've visited this abyss

it isn't labelled on your map

but it's easy to find

and it is a fact; everyone goes there at least twice a lifetime

me? i've been around many occasions - for too long

see

i never plan on staying

are you strong? be

'cause if you're not; start praying

that your demons will let you leave this unbelievable vacation

my neighbors love the scenery - personally i hate it

it caters to your behavior to make sure you don't escape it

if it was my choice

i'd glue myself in the basement

but i'm tempted by a city with tattoos that sleeps naked

it's a modern sodom and gomorrah type of town

i wish i just had enough guts to burn it down

but while the dog pets the fish and the wolves play the fiddle

i put my ride in gear 5 and drive to doolittle

do a lot

do a little more than usual

well

i do it musical

you do your do's

and do it beautiful

wipe the dew off the grass

wipe that 'don't' out your ass

don't ask

to go to doolittle - you know that i'll pass

hey yo

sometimes i write a song and it takes me home

i can't stand being stuck in such a place all alone

i see the city through different eyes

now that i've grown a little substance in the mushy rub and tug by my headphones

see doolittle's both nowhere and everywhere

it's got what you need from lsd to teddybears

a wise man told me

to go anywhere

except for there

although most people like it better there

to explain it on a level

some blame it on the devil -

and run aiming rocks and pebbles at a book because it settles their adrenaline -

but i'm ahead of them

i know the it's introduce my human flaws

see

it puts you in the days of euphoric limbo

you can't just quit it

it ain't that simple

and on my way to school some days i turn to look out the window and i'll see a sign

it'll say; two blocks to doolittle"
