anyway , i was sitting there and there was a legal pad on the coffee table because earlier in the day i had tried writing a song about my motherdont askand it was sitting there like an invitation and i was speeding like a hell-rooster , man , and i just picked up the pad and this big fat marker , i mean i was writing these huge thick letters on the page ( laughs ) and i just started , you were mean to me/leave me alone , let me sit in my tree/you were a snake , i needed you then/you were like bad heroin .
