"Cherokee" lyrics

Late for its arrival
My mind's begun to find
Early peculiarities
Of how it defines time
(I know I'm gonna find it)
And there are turkeys out the window
That I appreciate
(I know I'm gonna find it)
There's plastic like a barge somewhere
It's got no docking date
And on a tour I saw focaccia
Treated like it's jade
Someone in the lobby
Is dressed down just like me
(I know I'm gonna find it)
And an infant won the lottery
But really it was he
(I know I'm gonna find it)
With a pocket full of roofies
A pocket full of teeth
(I know I'm gonna find it)
Some people call that pleasure
And some people call that grief
At the Exxon they were confused
If I was American
And so I left offended
With a pack of M&Ms

I've been driving for a long while
Spent some time in a Cherokee
Learning things

Out there in Black Mountain
Sprouts education, see
(I know I'm gonna find it)
But you can learn a lot
Just take a walk above my tree
(I know I'm gonna find it)
They gathered round the easel
And spelled "community"
(I know I'm gonna find it)
I go looking for my teachers
And wondering what that means
There'll be lots of lonely mailboxes
When language disappears
(I know I'm gonna find it)
And people on the subway
Think so far and be so near
I smile from a screen you touch
Waiting on the bed
(I know I'm gonna find it)
Listening to voices
Talk about where I am headed

People get out for a long while
In the hills of Cullowhee
Cherokee

The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
Keep the smile on your lips
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)
The stoop that you love (Is fiending)
The stoop that you love (For meaning)

Someone's at a grill top
And someone is Tom Hanks
(I know I'm gonna find it)
Suckered into party games
And building words for leisure
(I know I'm gonna find it)
Here it is eleven
And there it is nineteen
(I know I'm gonna find it)
You're missing on my breakfast, and
I'm missing your evenings

Wish we'd been touching for a short while
Driving back from Cherokee
Dreaming things
