Dunbar is the man with the hair growing out of his face that I talked to in this song, he has a card game that he sells that he calls a "conversation game", it's really interesting. He's kind of a local celebrity here in Corvallis, OR and he just walks around most of the time and starts conversations with people. I saw him walking into a church on my drive home today.
lyrics
all my friends are trying to kill me
they hate how new age i'm trying to be
hippy podcasts can only go so far on their own
conversations from one side are starting to dissapoint
why don't any of the cute yogis want me
they won't smile when i order their coffee
i think i might be frowning almost all of the time
maybe they can see right past my hare krishna t-shirts
a man that had hair
growing out the side of his face
tried to talk to me
about the stop lights here
i didn't return the conversation
i practice condemnation
just about once a day
what would shakyamuni say
if he saw the phony shit
that i write on my t-shirts
is there anyone in oregon
who'll laugh at my jokes
andy came stayed in our basement apartment
we had 2am candle lit discussion
he had a vision and was finally seeing clearly
but i was too scared to believe
