lyrics
He made some friends in Columbus, Ohio
He had a way with words, they came so easy, he was easy
Left New York with a weary disposition
Tired from the dressing up, the dressing down, the sleeping in
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
Doesn’t matter what it is if you need to be changing things
Spent a fortune on some learning in the city
Then he made it to the woods, but he brought all his baggies
Kept his happiness upon a crowded mantle
The weight bore down, upon the wood, just about all it could handle
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
Doesn’t matter what it is if you need to be changing things
He looked around for a friendly face and found it
But there was more to see, behind the velvet curtain
As a man he saw nothing worth believing,
Saying grace in this bedroom, a most Godless situation
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
She’s been walking, and wandering away
These are times to be strong, but she’s too sad today
It’s a natural world, in a wonderful way
Tonight she’s scared but she knows he’ll stay
The vestibule was complete with an ashtray
It was a little out of place, there were no guests at this party
Mikey took a nap under the watchful eye of Judy
But his friends were strung out, blacked out, it was already morning again
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
Doesn’t matter what it is if you need to be changing things
Danger Baby climbed her way in through the window
The door was locked, the stuff was out, the record had been skipping
She would die in Columbus, Ohio
A modern man with the sensibilities we’ve been waiting on
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
She’s been walking, wandering away
These are times to be strong, but she’s too sad today
It’s a natural world, in a wonderful way
Tonight she’s scared but she knows he’ll stay
These are desperate times, we are wandering away
Did you hear? There was another shooting today
There straight motherfuckers getting their way
Tonight we’re scared, but tomorrow we make them pay
He had a way with words, they came so easy, he was easy
Left New York with a weary disposition
Tired from the dressing up, the dressing down, the sleeping in
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
Doesn’t matter what it is if you need to be changing things
Spent a fortune on some learning in the city
Then he made it to the woods, but he brought all his baggies
Kept his happiness upon a crowded mantle
The weight bore down, upon the wood, just about all it could handle
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
Doesn’t matter what it is if you need to be changing things
He looked around for a friendly face and found it
But there was more to see, behind the velvet curtain
As a man he saw nothing worth believing,
Saying grace in this bedroom, a most Godless situation
So tell me, what the hell have I been doing ramblin?
She’s been walking, and wandering away
These are times to be strong, but she’s too sad today
It’s a natural world, in a wonderful way
Tonight she’s scared but she knows he’ll stay
The vestibule was complete with an ashtray
It was a little out of place, there were no guests at this party
Mikey took a nap under the watchful eye of Judy
But his friends were strung out, blacked out, it was already morning again
