Cherokee

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Avey Tare & (Deakin)] Late for its arrival My mind's begun to find Early peculiarities Of how it defines time (I know I'm gonna find it) And there are turkeys out the window That I appreciate (I know I'm gonna find it) There's plastic like a barge somewhere It's got no docking date And on a tour I saw focaccia Treated like it's jade Someone in the lobby Is dressed down just like me (I know I'm gonna find it) And an infant won the lottery But really it was he (I know I'm gonna find it) With a pocket full of roofies A pocket full of teeth (I know I'm gonna find it) Some people call that pleasure And some people call that grief At the Exxon they were confused If I was American And so I left offended With a pack of M&Ms [Chorus: Avey Tare] I've been driving for a long while Spent some time in a Cherokee Learning things [Verse 2: Avey Tare & (Deakin)] Out there in Black Mountain Sprouts education, see (I know I'm gonna find it) But you can learn a lot Just take a walk above my tree (I know I'm gonna find it) They gathered round the easel And spelled "community" (I know I'm gonna find it) I go looking for my teachers And wondering what that means There'll be lots of lonely mailboxes When language disappears (I know I'm gonna find it) And people on the subway Think so far and be so near I smile from a screen you touch Waiting on the bed (I know I'm gonna find it) Listening to voices Talk about where I am headed [Chorus: Avey Tare] People get out for a long while In the hills of Cullowhee Cherokee [Bridge: Avey Tare & Harry Owens] The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) Keep the smile on your lips The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) The stoop that you love (Is fiending) The stoop that you love (For meaning) [Verse 3: Avey Tare & (Deakin)] Someone's at a grill top And someone is Tom Hanks (I know I'm gonna find it) Suckered into party games And building words for leisure (I know I'm gonna find it) Here it is eleven And there it is nineteen (I know I'm gonna find it) You're missing on my breakfast, and I'm missing your evenings [Chorus: Avey Tare] Wish we'd been touching for a short while Driving back from Cherokee Dreaming things
