Daniel Johnston
The Making of the Album
Quite a lot to say about the making of this album
Think it went pretty smoothly, without any problems
Our finances were pretty weak but we were able to survive
Thanks to that dentist who's a patron of the art
I was going to go to Daniel's to make this record
But my car broke down on the way, I went home in a [?]
A month later, Daniel caught a greyhound in Maryland
When I picked him up at the bus station
I said "if you really have ESP, tell me where my house is"
So we drove along, he said "stop" right where my driveway was
Walked into the studio, Daniel started playing drums
We sang "spooky", but God's on the brain
We were ruined now there was no strings
We wrote songs about love, songs about hate
Drank some lemonade and stayed up late
And in less than a week we bring to you [?]
Long live the independents!
