Walking to my girlfriend's in telegraph with a hand full of roses
Stopped through a corner store
On the TV a philadelphia cop shot by isis
30 000 people murdered in the usa in 2015
And when I go in the studio later
Today we're gonna put up a mic and about this I might sing
See I don't give a f**k about things
Like who's the best or the worst on twitter
And the other social media money making scheme turning you into a zombie
Jerking you off masturbator procrastinator
While the kids in silicon valley take your money and say
Can we get the check waiter
While they bulldoze your favorite
Building in town and turn it into a f**king fruit shake maker
You got the brains to be the next norman mailer
You got the longevity to be the next elizabeth taylor
You got the class to be the next james f**king spader
You got the swagger to be the next stiv f**king bator
But are you sitting on the toilet
Staring at your phone like a perfectly tailored made to order puppet
I ain't no one's puppet I ain't no one's puppet
I ain't no one's puppet I ain't no one's puppet
I ain't no one's f**king puppet
I ain't no one's f**king puppet I ain't no one's f**king puppet
I ain't no one's f**king puppet
Okay so here I am back home
I'm gonna read another chapter of this book beatlebone
The part so far that's made me the most smile
Is the page that has multiple uses uses of the word wily
That's me a wily motherf**ker
Come to massillon and that's what you get sucker
Gimme a one out of five a big fat ten
Give me a two either way it's all after me
And to all of you I say
Let me ask you do you own your own story
Being pimped the f**k out like a pay for a hoe
If you're a man in charge
Cling with staunch feminists and give a woman your job or shut the f**k up
Queen b**ch is a cool david bowie song
And so is rebel rebel and diamond dogs
Can you hear me to talking to you major tom
Ten nine eight seven six five four three two one
Should my girl be knocking
When we see each other everything's stopping
Yes who my girl be knocking
When we see each other everything'll be stopping
Oh how I love her
Oh how I love her
I'm watching coc*ine cowboys part three
Girlfriend will be here at 7:00 then we're gonna go see a movie
Next week got me a show in la
Just had a nice dinner at the elite cafe
Walk to the movie and decide to skip our plan
Came back turned on the TV and watch the falcon and the snowman
All the way to the end where they're walking side by side
Ankle chains in prison
And we watched a show on the mongols with lisa ling hosting
Then we watched some sh*t about satanists
Taking over detroit
I gotta say detroit being taken over by satanists was pretty soft stuff
Now it's 3:03 am and the rain is pouring down
When I wake in the morning all I care about is that you're around
Now it's 3:04 am and the rain is pouring down
When you're beside me that's all I care about
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Woke up went to the studio
Came back and turned on cnn
David bowie had died there's a picture of el chapo shaking hands with sean penn
Goddamn like I said we watched the falcon and the snowman the night before
With sean penn and timothy hutton
Bowie song played while the falcon soared
This isn't America oh
This isn't America oh
I woke up again went to the studio and I
I tuck myself away
I sang a song in honor of my father
And I sang roy harper's another day
The piano just like the nylon string guitar
It makes me sleepy
And I find myself in bed early for me about 11:30
Bowie's face kept repeating over and over and over and over again
A video of one of my earliest heroes laying in a hospital bed
And more and more sean penn shaking hands with el chapo
That motherf**ker killed ten times more people than jim f**king jones
That motherf**ker killed more people than that
Plus waco
That motherf**ker killed more people than
That crazy f**k did on the norwegian island utø ya and oslo
Go back to the other part now
Go back to the other part now
As I probably took 5:00 am talk to a friend
Who'd met bowie back in '97
The bowie's fiftieth birthday celebration in madison square garden
My first listen was during the summer between
The second and third grade
I flew to see my grandma and my stepgrandfather down in la
I played the song young Americans over and over and over on the airplane
The song chugged along like a train the backup singers wailed
And the saxophone sang
I'm in room 214 normandie hotel koreatown los angeles
Me and my band played last night we played david bowie's win
I think we did it justice
And I talked briefly about the first time that I heard his
Soulful voice on that flight
I was among my friends and my fans and I got to sing
It was a really nice night
Young Americans
Win
Fascination
Right
Can you hear me
Across the universe
Fame
Somebody up there likes me
And he was up on the eleventh floor
Watching the cruisers below
David bowie was original and
That's the part that spoke to me the most
Ooh alright
Ooh
Ooh alright
Ooh
Just back from a play starring rainn wilson
Thom pain thom pain
He pulled it off brilliantly and tomorrow I'm getting on a plane
Getting on a plane
Now I'm back at home reading beatlebone
6:29 am 6:29 am
A work of fiction sorta based on john lennon
Running from fame running from fame
But now I'm at home stayed up late
Waiting for deontay wilder to fight
Deontay wilder to fight

Construction at the hotel that started when it got late when it got late

When we were kings

Glenn frey died so did lemmy
It happens in threes it happens in threes
But more gonna die this year it's around the corner
You'll see you'll see
And I stayed up late that night locking night out
Working like a worker bee working like a worker bee
Then when day lord I watched the marlon brando documentary
And it's 4:36 am
And the rain is pouring
And tomorrow like always
I'm gonna be recording
And it's 4:37 am and the rain is pouring
Tomorrow's gonna be another fantastic voyage
And it's 4:37 am and the rain is pouring
And tomorrow's gonna be another fantastic voyage
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
