  • Kurt Vile performs a track from his album b'lieve i'm goin down....
    Lyrics:
    I woke up this morning,
    Didn't recognize the man in the mirror
    Of then I laughed and said, oh, silly me, that's just me
    Then I proceeded to brush some stranger's teeth, but they were
    my teeth and I was weightless just quivering like some leaf
    come in the window of a restroom I couldn't tell you what the
    hell it was supposed to mean but it was a Monday, no a Tuesday,
    no, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday then Saturday came around and I
    said who's this stupid clown block the bathroom sink?
    All he ever wanted was to be someone in life that was just
    like, all I want is to just have fun, live my life like a son
    of a gun
    I could be 1,000 miles away but still mean weigh say
    Then I woke up this morning.
    Didn't recognize the man in the mirror.
    Then I laughed and said, oh, silly me, that's just me then I
    proceeded ton comb some stranger's hair.
    Never was my style
    But I couldn't tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
    Because it was a Monday, no a Tuesday, no, Wednesday, Thursday,
    Friday
    Then Saturday came around and I said who's this stupid clown
    blocking the bathroom sink?
    But he was sporting all my clothes
    I gotta say I'm pretty pimpin
    All he ever wanted was to be a man but he was always a little
    too cute to be admitted under marbles lost
    He was always 1,000 miles away while still standing in front of
    your face
    Then he woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the
    mirror then I laughed and said, oh, silly me, that's just me
    Then I proceeded to brush some stranger's teeth, but they were
    my teeth and I was weightless
    Just quivering like some leaf come in the window of a restroom
    And I couldn't tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean.
    Cause it was a Monday, no a Tuesday, no, Wednesday, Thursday,
    Friday
    Then Saturday came around and I said who's this stupid clown
    blocking the bathroom sink?
    But he was sporting all my clothes
    I gotta say pretty pimpin
