lyrics

Born bipolar on the equinox
With his nose to the grindstone
He carved himself out a little workshop
In the basement ‘round ten years old

He drew cartoons by the light of the moon
Melted down GI Joes
Made plaster casts out of household trash
Wrote screenplays and manifestos

He was a painter and a singer
Writer, actor, and the bringer
Of a knee slappin’ comedy show
He was a painter and a singer
Writer, actor, dead ringer
For his Scottish-speaking alter-ego

All that lovin’ labor
Calms a restless soul
But all that lovin’ labor
Takes its precious toll

Followed his nose out to Hollywood
To see what all the fuss was for
Hopin that maybe somebody would
Take a chance on an Alabama boy

He was sharp as a tack with a monkey on his back
And a fine portfolio
But a lone soldier don’t love to rub shoulders
Over cocaine and merlot

He was a painter and a singer
Writer, actor, and the bringer
Of a knee slappin’ comedy show
He was a painter and a singer
Writer, actor, dead ringer
For his Scottish-speaking alter-ego

All that lovin’ labor
Calms a restless soul
But all that lovin’ labor
Takes twice as long alone

All that lovin’ labor
Calms a restless soul
But all that lovin’ labor
Takes its precious toll
