Bobby's in the basement   Making his movie   He paints a little picture   But not to be cheesy      He wants this little girl   To believe in him easy   Bristles to the canvas   Imagining he feels high      Inspiration of my heart   Search for light out of the dark   All the pictures in my heart   Lie awake there in my fog      This oasis in my arms   I approach it with disarm   Though it might do me some harm   Stop to catch me if I fall      Bobby's in the basement   Making his music   He never won't stop though   Not to abuse it      If there's some other way   That they only would use it   He lives another day   But they always refuse it      Lacerations of my heart   Dropped down in pieces in the dark   Mixed the words up on this page   Makes the purple turn to beige      Inspiration of my heart   Search for light out of the dark   All the pictures in my heart   Lie awake there in my fog      This oasis in my arms   I approach it with disarm   Though it might do me some harm   Stop to catch me if I fall      It's just like Bob Dylan says   Stop depression of my own   Walk the only road I know   If I am only dreamin'   Then I am not that far from it      Sow the strength that grows from seeds   Worship creativity   If I am only dreamin' then me an' Bob   Are not that far today   So long as I'm young      Bobby's in the basement   Making his music      I search the beaches walk the sand   I cut my feet on broken glass   Strap the sandals on my feet   I'm run down but I still hit the street      Inspiration of my heart   Search for light out of the dark   All the pictures in my heart   Lie awake there in my fog      It's just like Bob Dylan says   Stop depression of my own   Walk the only road I know   If I am only dreamin'   Then I am not that far from it      Sow the strength that grows from seeds   Worship creativity   If I am only dreamin' then me an' Bob   Are not that far today   So long as I'm young   So long as I'm young      Bobby's in the basement   Making his movie   He paints a little picture   But not to be cheesy      He wants this little girl   To believe in him easy   Bristles to the canvas   Imagining he feels high, high      Inspiration of my heart   Desperation of my heart
