This is beautiful, i feel by it. Great words remembered.

really cool window into your writing process!

One of the most unique (in a good way) vocalists of the last 20 years

I like the shuffling lo-fi drums throughout the song

[Lyrics]
this lazy livin’ yeah it sure tastes good
lets make a killin’ down in Hollywood

and buy ourselves some nice fancy home in the hills
spend all our fancy ol’ time spendin’ ten dollar bills

watch out
cause here I come bored and lazy
here I come no dignity 
so long sad city of angels you aint been very good to me
you take that blood right from my body
oh you take the bone out of my spine
so long sunny California you aint no friend of mine

so New York City yeah I’ll see you soon
spend all my money on some elbow room
wander around like i got someplace fancy to go
I’m the king of Brooklyn for all you know

watch out cause here I come
bored and lazy 
yeah here i come just passin’ through
oh follow me beyond the mountain
go howl the ol’ big moon
yeah strip them clothes right off your body
dress your skin in sticks and stones
doesn’t matter where were headed cause
some of us were built
some of us were built
some of us were built to roam

hey y'all!

here's my original demo for DCFC's You Are a Tourist.  the hook on this version is a sample from OMD's brilliant lp, Dazzle Ships.  we went in another direction on the album but i've always had a soft spot for this one.  enjoy!  xo  Ben
