Lyrics

- ...warm up a little bit. It's cold up there on stage - It is cold - Noted - ...am I in the right place? - [tape fast-forwarding] - Noise set! [laughter] - Yeah, that song's good. I like that song too. It's gonna be something someday - It's unreleased - You didn't bring your piano? - No, next time. It doesn't do well in the cold, that's why i didn't bring it - Yeah, that's fair. That's a lot of breaks to tune - Okay, here I go... There's a bully in your bloodstream There's goodness too And goodness you have your mama's voice Daddy's feet Nana's eyes and Grandpa's teeth There's an еlement of evil in What you wеre, at age eighteen You could blame it on the bloodstream, yeah You could blame it on the bloodstream Accept the blood, for how it beats Accept the liar, and the cheat Accept the violence, and defeat Accept that you are, what you eat You eat in secret, you overeat You starve yourself, and then repeat If I met John at seventeen I wouldn't tell him anything Cause he is evil, but also sweet Wearing outfits, incomplete An emperor without his sleeves A little boy who loves the beach and Now a man at 33 Who sometimes hears a voice repeat: "Yeah you could die, and you'd be clean You could go leave everything" But I am an ocean of living things A lover, friend, and I sing Just like my mom Just like my dad Just like my sister Just like my past - Cool, thank y'all - [cheers] - Damn, what? - I think I'm gonna cry out here, shit! - John, stop! - After I played that in New York at the [?], my cousin said, "But you're 34, not 33. So it's... did you lie in the song?" - [laughter]
