jeffrey lewis - do what comes natural lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
they say do what comes natural
just be the real me
follow your true you
inside of your head

but if i did what comes natural
i’d just be a black hole
i’d never get dressed
or even get out of bed

[verse 1/2]
i don’t want to cook food
or have to go shopping
for recipe options
or make out a list

and if the sink piles higher
it still wouldn’t inspire (me)
to wash out a wine glass
or dry off a dish

and i hate to start drawing
it’s so pointless and boring
why devote so much effort
for some second+rate art
so i force myself to it
every timе that i do it
i just go through the motions
though i’d rather not satrt

[chorus]
they say do what comеs naturally
just be the natural me
follow your true you
inside of your head

but if i did what comes natural
i’d just be an assh0l+
i’d be lonely and broke
probably better off dead

[verse 3/4]
i don’t want to walk out
or go to museums
assemble a picnic
or think of a plan

on a rainy or nice day
on a bus or a subway
why would i want to?
just because that i can?
or have to take towels
and change into swimsuits
then have to go swimming
then have to get dry

and need to use sunscreen
and work on a suntan
even just to be lazy
still demands that i try

[chorus]
they say do what comes naturally
just be the natural me
follow your true you
inside of your head

but if i did what comes natural
i’d wouldn’t do nothin
i’d stick my head in an oven
if i obeyed what they said

[verse]
who wants to book concerts
or check in at airports
or write out a setlist
or find where to park
or talk about money
or memorize lyrics
or drive when it’s bright out
or drive when it’s dark

and why be a nice guy?
why be responsive?
why be responsible
to family or friends?

and even if i did something
it’s never just one thing
i’d have to do something else
after the first something ends

[chorus]

they say just be the real you
do what you want to
follow the madness
inside of your soul

but what’s inside of me
is basically gravity
a meaningless cavity
a bottomless hole

[verse]
oh the lazy sensations
easy gratifications
the corruption and gluttony
and sugar and fat

the me that i’d follow / is
just shallow and hollow
to just be a natural me
would only be that

[verse]
but if you act like an artist
then it makes you an artist
if you act like a sleazeball
then it makes you a sleaze

if you act like an athlete
then it makes you an athlete
but it’s always a challenge
and it’s never a breeze

and if you act like you love me
then i guess that you love me
and if i act like a dad
someday then i’d be a dad

so i could say it was true
the things i made myself do
because the things that i did
became the life that i had

i didn’t want to be drawing
or writing or singing
or working for money
or working for art

or being a nice guy
or having a lifestyle
still nothing ever gets done
if i don’t force it to start

[chorus]
they say do what comes natural
just be the real me
follow your true you
inside of your head

but if i did what comes natural
i’d just be a black hole
i’d never get dressed
or even get out of bed
