I’m gonna live in a tent down by the river,
I’m gonna hold my coat the footman’s snicker,
I’m gonna hole in an RV at Galleria,
I’m gonna eat the loss, regret the feel,
I’m gonna crash on a couch where my friend’s living,
I’m gonna give the thanks and take the giving,
I’m gonna get a massage and sleep on the table,
I’m gonna twist that myth into a fable,
Oh I’m gonna move to a future condo development,
I’m gonna suck the sustenance out from the elements,
I’m gonna work real hard watch it slip away, away!
I was gonna eat but the pocket got ripped away, away!
I’m gonna sleep in an underpass out by the highway,
I’m gonna move but first I need a place to stay,
I’m gonna pitch me a tent in the sculpture gallery,
I’m gonna diagnose that hundredth malady,
I’m gonna sleep in a bag in a lot where the dogs pee,
I’m gonna find that X at rainbow’s B,
I’m gonna tell the truth when the park police take me,
I’m not gonna look down on the ones beneath me,
Oh I’m gonna try to live up to the people who beat me,
then I’m gonna go up north where the midnight heat be,
and I’m gonna love every grate where the subway heat be,
then I’m gonna eat the blackflies that come to eat me, eat me. Eat me!
I’m gonna get a disease in the shelter they put me,
I’m gonna let down gently those who need me,
I’m gonna go where opportunity could be,
I’m gonna bite the boot that tries to feed me,
I’m gonna leave the hand out to beseech me,
I’m gonna snatch each apple I can reach,
I’m gonna slip a homily for every homily,
I’m gonna sleep like a log in a sandy beach,
I’m gonna sleep in the car they left out for holiday,
I’m gonna let loose a pet for every peeve,
I’m gonna be a temp until Christmas Eve,
I’m gonna dry the herb and eat the weed,
I’m gonna smoke all the road smokes at bus key,
I’m gonna fight the fights but skip the tussles,
I’m gonna be that second ship at night,
I’m gonna eat the stems of the bullrushes,
I’m gonna keep potato free of blight,
I’m gonna sing to the moon to pass the night,
I’m gonna play the hit then hit repeat,
I’m gonna bathe my skin in the morning sunlight,
I’m gonna look below for deeper meaning,
I’m gonna eat the peach from the stand on the street,
I’m gonna beat the dust and swoop the dirt,
I’m gonna drop out of school to model in the evening,
I’m gonna take the sermon skip what’s preached,
I’m gonna dig the ditch below the culvert,
I’m gonna screw the nuts and pop the rivets,
I’m gonna sleep in a tree where the roots reach,
I’m gonna eat my fate in sultry shiver,
I’m gonna stand and seal my fate delivered,
I’m gonna stuff my shirt so I don’t look thinner,
I’m gonna sleep in a tent down by the river.
