Father John Misty - The Palace Lyrics

P O E M Z O N E

It's only been three weeks
And a bag of speed from Jamie the PhD
She comes by the front desk
To leave my transcript with her edits
'Cause I don't wanna leave the palace
At least that's what my true love calls it
Last night I wrote a poem
Man, I must have been in the poem zone
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Maybe I'll get a pet
Learn how to take care of somebody else
Maybe I'll name him Jeff
But I think it might defeat the purpose
Living on house keeping and room service
But I don't wanna leave the palace
oh, let's pay someone to move in and fix this
Last night I TEXTED your iPhone
And said I think I'm ready to come home
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm way in over my head

The best song he's ever written imho.

Really reminds me of the songs from the Patriot (Amazon video series). A song made straight from an internal monolog.

He is so Harry Nilsson. This reminds me of Joy and like the tone of his entire BBC special. It's a beautiful thing. Harry Nilsson should not be forgotten and Tillman has that raw, emotional depth that is hard to wrap your head around but when you do you'll feel it in the depth of your dark lonely soul.

So the line ”she comes by the front desk to leave my transcript with her edits” has the exact same melody and chord progression as the lines ”I want to stay on that magic mountain with lost souls and beautiful women” from so I’m growing old.........I wonder If there is some thought behind that or just reusing a melody

This stopped me in my tracks.

my nama jeff

you are so underrated

Really? Has anyone here ever heard any music from the last century?

suck a dick please!

this is so good

If anyone has the chords for this I would greatly appreciate it!!!!

Jessica Lee I think it's E, E6, E, A, A7, G6.... Dm and G6! Think I'm missing something but sounds about right :)

Last night I wrote a poem
Man, I must've been in the ~poem zone~

My fiance and I giggle every time we hear this line.

I feel like this might be the most vulnerable Father John Misty song

This track freaks me out in every good way. The way he sings “head” is terrifying.

Goosebumps.... Absolutely love the new record and this song is a highlight. The ending of The Palace
is out of this world. Delicate placed piano sounds, which remind me a bit of 'Soldier' from Neil Young and 'Cathedral' (CSN). If this is the Poem Zone, than I hope FJM will stay in it for many more albums to come.

I feel like I’m floating on the clouds when I listen to this

Poem Zone!!!!JAJA

Wow. The chorus on this is simply devastating.

Thom Yorke vibes

big time.

Omg this is wonderful. I'm loving your stuff Father John. The album is quite moving 👍

Wienerschnitzels.

Wow. Spectacular (and such an awesome surprise to see the record out tonight)

Looking forward to seeing Papa John in KC a few months from now

Evan Meyer I'm seeing him soon as well, in D.C.!! It's gonna be quite the emotional show. One of the best songwriters of this generation in my opinion.

This is one of my faves from the album

This is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time

Best song on the album. Easy.

You help me in ways that I can never convey. Thank you for your music misty man. Forever grateful

Papa bless

we don’t deserve this work of art,, truly

Hell yea

He is here. Get your fucking burrito money

I love your music so much. It gets me through the day... i donnt know what it is but thank you.

You can name me Jeff any day

Let’s go
