Quarantine 02:00
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
