Quarantine, quarantine
Living simple, living lean
Staring at my TV screen
In quarantine
Thought I had a gig tonight
Bags were packed, they booked my flight
But going out just don't seem right
Guess that I'll be sitting tight in my
Quarantine, quarantine
Living simple, living lean
Rationing my coffee beans
In quarantine
Do the smart thing, stay at home
Wash your hands, wipe off your phone
And know that you are not alone
Living in this Twilight Zone
Quarantine, quarantine
Living simple, living lean
I'm thankful for my TV screen
Guinness cans and coffee beans
At least I'll have some time to clean
In quarantine

Sometimes I wish I had a farm
Where the only pollution is your cigarettes
Where your mind is clear
But I like it here
In my small space
New York's the place
Where the sidewalks know my face
As I walk to
My apartment
The home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside
My apartment
The home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside
I'm there all the time
Bikes ride to the park
And city pools
It's summer now
Empty the schools
Fly home to my dog
On the L train
I'm protected from pain
When I'm in
My apartment
The home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside
My apartment
The home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside
I'm there all the time
Back to my apartment
The home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside
My apartment
The home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside
I'm here all the time

Seems like only last night
We were boarding that flight
Things were looking so bright
And I was playing drums with you
Now each day that passes
Moves just like molasses
I miss clinking glasses
And I miss playing drums with you
In a theatre or the corner of a bar
Can’t believe I miss them talking
Over you and your guitar
But I do
And I miss playing drums with you
Had a hard September
Maybe you remember
Everything seemed better
When I was playing drums with you
Now the whole world’s hurtin’
And no one knows for certain
When they’ll draw the curtain
And I’ll be playing drums with you
I’ll take the F train up to Rockwood Music Hall
Or The Bonnie in Astoria
I wouldn’t mind the haul
Cause when it’s through
I’ll be playing drums with you
Sitting here in my apartment writing melodies and jokes
When I think of my friend Annie and the others saving folks
All I hope is that in some small way these songs can do you good
And that maybe for a moment you feel glad or understood
Cause if you do
I’ll keep playing drums for you
