Van Gogh Syndrome

You shouldn’t have done that, man!
I’m really scared!
Oh, that’s much better
Well, everybody wants to make their way to the top
But it’s bottlenecked, baby
It’s gettin’ clogged up
I’m crackin’ craniums
I’m taking teeth home
They call me crazy, son, got van gogh syndrome
I’m tied in times
Kaleidoscope cocoon
Light speed
Worm hole
Absurd po’ flow
They gave me these, aristotle degrees
They said you pursuin’ what you want, son
Not what you wanna be
You pursuin’ what you want, son!
Not what you wanna be!
Write them notes
You know, I went outside, just to clear my head
And y’know, I heard somethin’
It was like, caesar and them dudes upstairs
Were talkin, chit-chattin’, commiseratin’
Doin’ what they do
You wanna know what I heard them say?
They was talkin’ about us!
They wanted to know
If you was ever man!
If your body could even stand
Without the word of God
Well if you was ever man
Well the last part of this story happened in são paulo, brazil
We were on our way to get some food after a show
A man came running up to our group
I got a little edgy
I said, hey, hey, hey hey what are you doin’, man? What do you want?
I thought he was asking for money, you know?
So I said, no, no, no, no, thank you. I don’t got no money today
He says, no, I don’t want your money
I, man, I spend so much time alone on the street
I just thought I could have some good conversation with you guys
Walk a little bit with you guys, you know?
So we was like, sure, sure, come on up
Went walkin’ and talkin’
And he told us the story of his life
And how he came to be a, a homeless man
He said he had made one great mistake in his life
He added it all up to this one mistake
He said that, he always thought that this world owed him somethin’
That the world was goin’ to have to learn to accept and learn to love him
But the truth of the fact of the matter is, he says, with this crazy look in his eyes
Really, I had to learn to love this world
You know?
I have to adapt to this world
That’s the truth of the matter
And so, he says he wakes up every morning and says I love you, baby
At least I try
At least I try!
