Kurt Vile - Zoom 97 Lyrics

Kurt Vile Lyrics

"Zoom 97"

Smoke on my lip
I wrote a song, yeah
Some people said
I was doin it wrong, yeah, but
Check out my hands: my chimin chords
On a Goldtone mandolin guitar

World's been meltin
In front o' my eyes, yeah
My baby girls...
They keep me high, yeah
Ain't on no trips though (no LSD)
True love is the pure drug for me

Jump in my whip
My engine whines, yeah
Zigzag my way...
Down Lincoln Drive, yeah
Puck on my lip: feel I can fly
For a while...

Smoke from my ears
My brian is burnin
My candle's burnt
I'm never learnin
Watch as my life breaks down
Just as the song breaks down

Smoke on my lip
I wrote a song, yeah
Some people said
I was doin it wrong, yeah, but
Check out my hands: my chimin chords
On a Goldtone mandolin guitar

Smoke from my ears
My brian is burnin
My candle's burnt
I'm never learnin
Watch as my life breaks down
Just as the song breaks down
