Live In A Tree Lyrics - Adrian Belew

Your mama is crazy 

And your daddy's evasive 

And they probably won't leave you alone 

Between the neighborhood screaming 

And the laundry and the t.v. 

You can hardly hear the cellular phone 

You feel stress, you need a rest 

Too many things you've got to get off your chest 

To be free to get some peace 

You have to live in a tree 

You gave away your stereo 

And kept your pocket radio 

And threw away the keys to your car 

Then you loaded up a t-shirt 

Booked a ticket on a steamer 

And you boarded it for zanzibar 

You had stress, you needed rest 

Too many things you had to get off your chest 

To be free to get some peace 

You had to live in a tree 

"live in a tree"
