Public Restroom

I spent the morning on the mountain
I went to see my friends at three
I tried every trick I knew
Just to see what could be seen

(chorus)
But this public restroom has afforded me the clearest view
Of the day
I was drinking beer and now I am just standing here
Looking far away

I know all about religion
As a way to make your life look good
And I have experienced visions
Just like the teacher said I would

(chorus)
But this public restroom has afforded me the clearest view
Of the world so far
I was drinking beer and now I am just standing here
Shining like a star
