about

I wrote this song one night hanging out in Kathmandu. Pat and I were trying to buy some hash off this guy for our hiking trip. He came to our room and kept packing our chellum with more and more to prove it was good stuff. It was. Eventually, we had to convince him to give us less than he was offering us because we just didn't want that much. The hotel lights worked about half the time because of constant power-outages and they never seemed to have water when you tried to take a shower. Between this and the russian novels we carried around, we were in heaven.

lyrics

I was buying hash in Kathmandu, heading to the mountains for a night or two. I was running away from the mundane, I can't stand to live my life that way. I ain't thinking about the future tonight. I can hardly keep my eyes open when you're talking to me, office politics or some new show on TV. I want to shake you by the shoulders, yelling, "you've been tricked!" Your boring, safe life's making us both sick. I don't want to talk about the past tonight. The streets are filled with garbage and my shower never works. Go buy a big house for yourself, I won't hide my smirk. I guess I'm a loser with nothing to show, one of these days I'll probably never come home.
