I learned half of what I know
From the worst teacher goin', experience
That school's too slow an' I know folks
Smart ones from the city who gone and made a life's work
A decade later, they still do it shitty, experience
That's experience for you, moves kinda slow
You get off the bus the same guy that got on twenty years ago
And as I feel it, is it art or imitating? 'Cause if it's art
All my life's been fingerpainting
Had my best luck, though with a big easel
I'd rather be an art project, babe, than just weasel out with
Wearin' one and come to suspect the whole experience
Experience, I think I understand
Is it like goin' 90, her top's down an' wind's in your beer can?
That's this moment there, on a bungee jump
You're down, goin' down, you're comin' up now
I think I felt that before somewhere, it was, it was kind of an experience
One shining moment lost in time, the one with the showroom shine
Well, I'm sorry girl, yes, I'm sorry boy, but I feel that way all the time
Till I finally made it life was kinda hit or miss
But after I made it life was Take a hit of this
And I'd love to talk philosophy but I've gotta take a piss
Man, that philosophy runs right through ya
Take it from me baby I've got experience, all right
Experience, do I understand?
Like goin' a 100, her top's down, the wind's in your beer can
That single moment there, on a bungee jump
You're just goin' down, you're comin' up now
Yeah, don't look down, ooh
That special moment lost in time, the one with the showroom shine
Well, I'm sorry babe, yes, I'm sorry babe but I feel that way all the time, ohh
