"Daydream Quarantina" lyrics

"Daydream Quarantina"

Been wearing out these old floorboards, seems like forever
Yes, I'm kindly acquainted with every divot and line
Tryin' to keep all my senses and hold it together
But I just can't hold nothin' with these hands full of time

Even the devil himself, kicked me off his damn playground
Sayin, "Boy ain't ya got nothin' better to do"
Said he's got a luncheon with Bezos and a meeting in Congress
Yeah much bigger fish to attend himself to

So I'm drowning the hours with dreams of the day
When we all get together and raise us some Cain
Hell's bells will be ringing and the ol' crowd singing
Adios amigo 'til we see you next spring

Done a whole lotta starin' at this 00-Martin
Tryin' to write about something ain't no one else done
Maybe a heavenly stairway or a great bird of freedom
Don't it seem like the good stuff's already been sung

I just keep on diggin', put my back right into it
For to find you a diamond you gotta stay in the dirt
Now it's three in the morning, nothing much to show for it
But a good case of bad posture and a stain on my shirt

Yeah I'm drowning the hours with dreams of the day
When we all get together and raise us some Cain
Hell's bells will be ringing and the ol' crowd singing
Adios amigo 'til we see you next spring

Tried to divvy my rations, but math ain't my strong suit
Now I'm three months and counting on a two week supply
Been grinding up stems and seeds for good measure
And sniffing the fumes when the bottle runs dry

But better days they're a comin', yeah we'll be howling again boys
I can see it so clear when I close my eyes
Beneath the neon shinin', in a great congregation
We'll lift up our bottles and sing one for Prine

Yeah I'm drowning the hours with dreams of the day
When we all get together and raise us some Cain
Hell's bells will be ringing and the ol' crowd singing
Adios amigo 'til we see you next spring
Yeah adios amigo 'til we see you next spring
