[00:14.66]	Damn if I didn't just go walking and find some horses
[00:18.79]	A man-made lake and some trees
[00:21.24]
[00:22.17]	Came back to my room all covered in sweat
[00:25.53]	Here at the Swiss Waldhaus Hotel
[00:27.71]
[00:29.03]	Filled out an application for a work visa
[00:32.48]
[00:33.50]	For Japan and Australia
[00:35.17]
[00:35.93]	It's been a few weeks since I've left home
[00:38.91]	And I feel out of place
[00:40.80]	And out of my element
[00:42.18]
[00:43.62]	I work from 7 at night
[00:46.06]	Until 5 AM when the AD says "Wrap"
[00:49.42]
[00:50.55]	And a runner named Fabio flashlights me back to my hotel
[00:55.29]	Before the sun comes up
[00:57.64]	Then I get in my bed
[00:59.26]
[00:59.98]	And talk with my girl on the phone to the birds chirping
[01:03.54]
[01:04.37]	How the hell did I end up playing myself in an Italian film
[01:08.31]
[01:09.05]	Set in a ski town in Switzerland
[01:11.07]
[01:40.40]	Damn if I didn't just go walk in the yard
[01:43.39]
[01:43.98]	So alone on my night off
[01:46.96]
[01:47.81]	I felt like Jimmy Page walking the mountains out behind Aleister Crowley's house
[01:54.00]
[01:54.99]	It was too dark and it got so cold
[01:57.46]
[01:58.34]	That I turned back around
[02:00.61]	Came back to my room read Graham Nash's Wild Tales
[02:04.13]
[02:04.64]	Til I fell asleep to the sound
[02:07.02]
[02:18.03]	The sound of the birds
[02:19.25]
[02:22.25]	The birds of Flims
[02:24.65]
[02:26.63]	Yeah I've asked around
[02:28.12]
[02:30.00]	But nobody knows the names of 'em
[02:32.91]
[02:35.61]	Of the birds
[02:36.81]
[02:39.67]	The birds of Flims
[02:41.89]
[02:44.14]	Yeah I've asked around
[02:45.44]
[02:47.37]	But nobody knows the names of 'em
[02:50.36]
[02:54.04]	Damn if I didn't just go walking down the road
[02:57.07]	When a girl named Veronica stopped me
[03:00.49]
[03:01.30]	She said she was from Milan and that she recognized me from the film
[03:05.36]	And that today was her birthday
[03:07.43]
[03:08.45]	We talked a little bit
[03:09.89]	But there was a barrier
[03:11.00]	And she went one way and I went the other
[03:14.85]	And I walked along the dandelions and down to market
[03:18.65]
[03:19.88]	Where I bought her some flowers
[03:21.98]
[03:22.78]	On the way back to my hotel
[03:24.66]	I left them in the lobby of hers with a note
[03:26.96]	"Veronica happy birthday - Mark"
[03:29.20]	And when I saw her again on the set
[03:31.57]	She said "Grazie" and I could tell the gesture
[03:34.64]	Had touched her heart
[03:36.63]	Damn if I didn't go to dinner last night with Paul
[03:39.87]	But his throat was sore
[03:41.33]	And I could see that he was feeling ill
[03:43.46]	He spends more time on the set than I do
[03:46.15]	And it's cold out there
[03:47.26]	And the last two days he was playing Hitler
[03:51.52]	I could see he was grappling with that
[03:53.88]	And I felt bad and I gave him some words of support
[03:57.40]	And we talked about John Hughes movies home ownership
[04:00.38]	And the cost of living in San Francisco and New York
[04:05.02]	And damn if I didn't go out later with a set dresser
[04:08.99]	Or something like that
[04:10.64]	Named Cipriana
[04:12.43]	We talked for four hours at a bar down the street
[04:15.02]	And the music was terrible
[04:16.18]	But yeah I liked her kinda
[04:18.86]
[04:19.62]	She's been with someone for four or five years
[04:21.72]	And I kinda figured that anyhow and told her "Well so have I"
[04:26.24]	And that made life easier for both of us
[04:28.27]	And I walked her drunk a** back to her room
[04:30.67]	And like a gentleman I didn't try
[04:33.52]
[04:43.92]	And I went to my room
[04:45.41]
[04:47.27]	I looked down at the waterfront
[04:49.49]
[04:52.52]	From my balcony I felt
[04:54.02]
[04:56.08]	The surrealness of my surroundings
[04:59.36]
[05:01.42]	I got in my bed
[05:02.78]
[05:04.70]	Looked up at the baby blue ceilings above
[05:07.73]
[05:10.30]	And thought of my home
[05:11.78]
[05:12.45]	And my girl
[05:13.40]
[05:13.91]	And I ached for her love
[05:15.99]
[06:16.80]	Damn when it all ended
[06:18.36]	If I didn't have them fly me out
[06:21.77]	To New Orleans
[06:23.53]
[06:24.14]	Where I saw kitty cats sleeping on porches
[06:27.10]	And drank real iced tea for the first time in six to eight weeks
[06:31.27]	It was nice not having to walk down that awkward path again
[06:35.04]	And not to have to yell or to holler
[06:37.88]	About eating pasta pomodoro for the 38th time in a month
[06:41.88]	If its price was 60 Swiss f**kin' francs
[06:45.59]	Damn if I didn't go walking the next afternoon
[06:48.41]
[06:49.47]	Down Oretha Castle
[06:51.50]	I ate a catfish lunch at Cafe Reconcile
[06:55.52]	With a side of macaroni and cheese
[06:57.56]	And cornbread and collard greens
[06:59.34]
[06:59.96]	Saw it advertised on channel 99
[07:03.06]
[07:03.85]	The public access channel
[07:05.91]
[07:06.48]	And I walked across the street to a gym
[07:08.58]	And I watched two fighters spar
[07:09.84]	And I talked to them during their break
[07:11.46]	While they sipped on their Snapple
[07:13.12]
[07:14.38]	And I thought what is life if not a fight
[07:17.87]	Or a test of will and grace
[07:20.24]
[07:21.05]	Some would match it by throwing bombs like Mike Tyson
[07:24.59]	But some like Pernell are slippery and win cleverly
[07:26.97]
[07:28.04]	Some are fearless like Gatti
[07:30.09]	But like Henry Akinwande
[07:31.11]
[07:32.29]	Some of them buckle and stall
[07:34.25]
[07:35.20]	When the going gets tough with much due respect
[07:37.60]	Some of them break down and cry
[07:39.22]	Like Oliver "The Atomic Bomb" McCall
[07:42.59]	Life's a chess game for all of us
[07:44.83]	Hit don't be hit jab and hook and feint and bob and weave
[07:48.41]
[07:49.09]	When the fighters got back in the ring
[07:51.11]	I thought of my own fight in life
[07:52.80]	And it was time to be leaving
[07:55.17]
[07:56.59]	And damn if I didn't go to the airport
[07:59.13]	And fly up to Cleveland Ohio
[08:03.37]	I had dinner at Sylvester's in North Canton with my girlfriend and her friends
[08:06.79]	And for the first time in a while
[08:08.61]	I was surrounded by genuine smiles (beautiful smiles)
[08:11.44]	There at the table with all of them I felt content
[08:13.96]
[08:15.00]	And grounded and rooted again
[08:17.42]	And was dropped off to face the hardships
[08:20.03]	Of a single mom who happens to be one of my closest and dearest friends
[08:22.93]
[08:25.23]	Fell asleep in her spare room to the sound of crop dusters
[08:28.19]
[08:29.24]	And cars on the highway
[08:30.67]
[08:32.13]	Back to my roots where unconditional love
[08:34.65]	Rules over everything
[08:35.96]	And I could no longer hear the birds of Flims

[03:34.64]	Had touched her heart
[03:36.63]	Damn if I didn' t go to dinner last night with Paul
[03:39.87]	But his throat was sore
[03:41.33]	And I could see that he was feeling ill
[03:43.46]	He spends more time on the set than I do
[03:46.15]	And it' s cold out there
[03:47.26]	And the last two days he was playing Hitler
[03:51.52]	I could see he was grappling with that
[03:53.88]	And I felt bad and I gave him some words of support
[03:57.40]	And we talked about John Hughes movies home ownership
[04:00.38]	And the cost of living in San Francisco and New York
[04:05.02]	And damn if I didn' t go out later with a set dresser
[04:08.99]	Or something like that
[04:10.64]	Named Cipriana
[04:12.43]	We talked for four hours at a bar down the street
[04:15.02]	And the music was terrible
[04:16.18]	But yeah I liked her kinda
[04:18.86]
[04:19.62]	She' s been with someone for four or five years
[04:21.72]	And I kinda figured that anyhow and told her " Well so have I"
[04:26.24]	And that made life easier for both of us
[04:28.27]	And I walked her drunk a back to her room
[04:30.67]	And like a gentleman I didn' t try
[04:33.52]
[04:43.92]	And I went to my room
[04:45.41]
[04:47.27]	I looked down at the waterfront
[04:49.49]
[04:52.52]	From my balcony I felt
[04:54.02]
[04:56.08]	The surrealness of my surroundings
[04:59.36]
[05:01.42]	I got in my bed
[05:02.78]
[05:04.70]	Looked up at the baby blue ceilings above
[05:07.73]
[05:10.30]	And thought of my home
[05:11.78]
[05:12.45]	And my girl
[05:13.40]
[05:13.91]	And I ached for her love
[05:15.99]
[06:16.80]	Damn when it all ended
[06:18.36]	If I didn' t have them fly me out
[06:21.77]	To New Orleans
[06:23.53]
[06:24.14]	Where I saw kitty cats sleeping on porches
[06:27.10]	And drank real iced tea for the first time in six to eight weeks
[06:31.27]	It was nice not having to walk down that awkward path again
[06:35.04]	And not to have to yell or to holler
[06:37.88]	About eating pasta pomodoro for the 38th time in a month
[06:41.88]	If its price was 60 Swiss f kin' francs
[06:45.59]	Damn if I didn' t go walking the next afternoon
[06:48.41]
[06:49.47]	Down Oretha Castle
[06:51.50]	I ate a catfish lunch at Cafe Reconcile
[06:55.52]	With a side of macaroni and cheese
[06:57.56]	And cornbread and collard greens
[06:59.34]
[06:59.96]	Saw it advertised on channel 99
[07:03.06]
[07:03.85]	The public access channel
[07:05.91]
[07:06.48]	And I walked across the street to a gym
[07:08.58]	And I watched two fighters spar
[07:09.84]	And I talked to them during their break
[07:11.46]	While they sipped on their Snapple
[07:13.12]
[07:14.38]	And I thought what is life if not a fight
[07:17.87]	Or a test of will and grace
[07:20.24]
[07:21.05]	Some would match it by throwing bombs like Mike Tyson
[07:24.59]	But some like Pernell are slippery and win cleverly
[07:26.97]
[07:28.04]	Some are fearless like Gatti
[07:30.09]	But like Henry Akinwande
[07:31.11]
[07:32.29]	Some of them buckle and stall
[07:34.25]
[07:35.20]	When the going gets tough with much due respect
[07:37.60]	Some of them break down and cry
[07:39.22]	Like Oliver " The Atomic Bomb" McCall
[07:42.59]	Life' s a chess game for all of us
[07:44.83]	Hit don' t be hit jab and hook and feint and bob and weave
[07:48.41]
[07:49.09]	When the fighters got back in the ring
[07:51.11]	I thought of my own fight in life
[07:52.80]	And it was time to be leaving
[07:55.17]
[07:56.59]	And damn if I didn' t go to the airport
[07:59.13]	And fly up to Cleveland Ohio
[08:03.37]	I had dinner at Sylvester' s in North Canton with my girlfriend and her friends
[08:06.79]	And for the first time in a while
[08:08.61]	I was surrounded by genuine smiles beautiful smiles
[08:11.44]	There at the table with all of them I felt content
[08:13.96]
[08:15.00]	And grounded and rooted again
[08:17.42]	And was dropped off to face the hardships
[08:20.03]	Of a single mom who happens to be one of my closest and dearest friends
[08:22.93]
[08:25.23]	Fell asleep in her spare room to the sound of crop dusters
[08:28.19]
[08:29.24]	And cars on the highway
[08:30.67]
[08:32.13]	Back to my roots where unconditional love
[08:34.65]	Rules over everything
[08:35.96]	And I could no longer hear the birds of Flims
