Lyrics

All of my heroes are difficult men
Hold my breath
Count to ten
Reaching for anarchy
Grasping at Zen
The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

I'm back in my element
I'm back on my elephant
I'm back in the saddle
I'm back on my bullshit

Mike Watt is the fine wine of punk rock

I'm placated by the feeling of the silver key between my breasts as I ascend the ziggurat in search of vintage Donnie Darko trading cards

The world is a dadaist bullshit generator
Let's go to the junkyard and watch the incinerator
Get a subscription to entropy

I'm back in my element
I'm back on my elephant
I'm back in the saddle
I'm back on my bullshit

All of my trophies are terrified men
Take my breath
Lose a friend
Aiming for escape
Just take what you can
Is this for real or did I forget to eat again?

I'm back in my element
I'm back on my elephant
I'm back in the saddle
I'm back on my bullshit

I went to jail for engaging the Stop & Shop robot in fisticuffs
I can't inhale because I'm underwater in Times Square
New Roman
New empire, who dis?

I keep trying to look away but the duct tape on my eyelids makes it hard

Have you tried going for a walk?

I'm back in my element
I'm back on my elephant
I'm back in the saddle
I'm back on my bullshit
