Daniel Johnston and the Devil: Hi How Are You?
written June 19, 2007
(inspired by the full length documentary,
 The Devil and Daniel Johnston http://www.hihowareyou.com/)
 
the sidewalk was getting hot
she was running w/ her dog
in blue shorts & champion socks
 
the drivers were already on the job
bread, beer, lunch meat & soda pop
w/ all the trucks owned by the mob
 
and it was just another day in the year
but something was different, i swear,
there was nothing like it to compare
 
like the anniversary of the sun - yea, yea -
.. anniversary of the sun - yea, yea - yea -
.. everybody's having fun - yea, yea, yea -
 
she began to come over in her Land Rover
and i was having second thoughts about it
was it for me or more of her need for exposure
 
of course we did it all - nothing was to small -
left Arizona for a little roadhouse at Cordona Lake
and then we left big Texas for a moderate state
 
where most people spoke of an opinion or two
and at the center of town some people were lewd
but, at least, most people hardly ever were rude
 
like the anniversary of the sun - yea, yea -
.. anniversary of the sun - yea, yea - yea -
.. everybody's having fun - yea, yea, yea -
