about

A new song about this crazy year.

lyrics

The last polar bear's hitched a ride
On the final iceberg
Hurtling past the southwestern coast of France
Destined for oblivion somewhere south of Portugal
And all the kangaroos are engulfed in flames
The entire outback's one big viking funeral pyre
And mental health's a scarce resource in a world that's on fire

Southern California's chokin
On a massive wall of smoke and
France grows Spanish grapes now
It never feels like January, it hasn't in a while
Mental health's a scarce resource in a world that's on fire

The last bartender is tending to his last three second pour
Without contact he hands over the glass
We all need some liquid help
While we're all locked up in shelters
If you're lucky there's not much else left to do
The cooks and couriers you once scorned
Are now not allowed to tire
Mental health's a scarce resource in a world that's on fire

Northern California's locked down
Empty public spaces all around
All my dearest friends are out of work
It seemed like nothing to be scared of
But now our straits are dire
And mental health's a scarce resource in a world that's on fire.

Moved to Austin in hope of finding that sense of cowboy authenticity. Still a fake cowboy. Now in Flagstaff, still fake.
