The outdoor type

Evan Dando


Always had a roof above me always paid the rent
And I never set foot inside a tent
Couldn't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
I never slept out underneath the stars
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night 
I lied about being the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know
You knew what you were looking for 
I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great
I lied about being the out door type
I never own a sleepin bag let alone a mountain bike 
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend 
What if somethings on TV it's never shown again 
It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight 
I lied about being the outdoor type
