I’M NEW HERE. WILL YOU SHOW ME AROUND?

“I’m New Here,” from the wonderful Smog album, A River Ain’t Too Much To Love :

No No No No
I did not become someone different
I did not want to be
But I’m new here
Will you show me around

No matter how far wrong you’ve gone
You can always tournaround
Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near impossible to forget
She said i had an ego on me
The size of Texas

Well I’m new here and I forget
Does that mean big or small

Turnaround turnaround turnaround

And I’m shedding plates like a snake
And it may be crazy but I’m the closest thing I have
To a voice of reason

Turnaround turnaround turnaround
And you may come full circle and be new here again

I listened to this song in the early morning one night in Texas when I couldn’t sleep and the a/c was broken. It felt like heaven.
