lyrics

Welcome to population: You
I hope you brought a lot of cigarettes
I hope you brought a lot of good books to read
I hope you get a lot of help
I hope you get a handle on yourself

Welcome to the mountains and the big trees
A land of pink clouds and chickadees
Donʼt forget how your time was spent
Now the time you spend
You pay for it

Living like a dog is all you wanted
Sleepyhead
Basking in the sun
Learn to love it or get over it

I can feel you tap-tapping over my head
Youʼre a lonely storm
You should do no harm
I will place a tin roof under you

This is what you get
Living like a dog is all you wanted
Sleepyhead
Basking in the sun
Learn to love it or get over it
Youʼre home
