[00:25.93]With his back against the San Francisco traffic,
[00:32.70]On the bridges side that faces towards the jail,
[00:39.42]Setting out to join a demographic,
[00:45.66]He hoists his first leg up over the rail.
[00:52.08]And a phone call is made,
[00:54.03]Police cars show up quickly.
[00:58.74]The sergeant slams his passenger door.
[01:04.80]He says, “Hey son why don’t you talk through this with me,
[01:11.57]Just tell me what you’re doing it for.”
[01:17.71]“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything,
[01:21.55]It’s the mountains,
[01:22.82]It’s the fog,
[01:24.60]It’s the news at six o’clock,
[01:27.42]It’s the death of my first dog,
[01:31.17]It’s the angels up above me,
[01:34.40]It’s the song that they don’t sing,
[01:37.76]It’s a little bit of everything.”
[01:44.43]An older man stands in a buffet line,
[01:50.55]He is smiling and holding out his plate,
[01:57.07]And the further he looks back into his timeline,
[02:03.95]That hard road always had led him to today,
[02:10.22]And making up for when his bright future had left him,
[02:16.81]Making up for the fact that his only son is gone,
[02:23.03]And letting everything out once, His server asks him,
[02:29.92]Have you figured out yet, what it is you want?
[02:36.04]I want a little bit of everything,
[02:40.19]The biscuits and the beans,
[02:43.04]Whatever helps me to forget about
[02:45.52]The things that brought me to my knees,
[02:49.62]So pile on those mashed potatoes,
[02:52.90]And an extra chicken wing,
[02:55.69]I’m having a little bit of everything.
[03:28.85]Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations,
[03:36.22]To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall,
[03:42.43]Her man says, “Baby, can I make an observation?
[03:49.31]You don’t seem to be having any fun at all.”
[03:55.30]She said, “You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size,
[04:02.44]And rest assured that this is making me feel good,
[04:09.33]I think that love is so much easier than you realize,
[04:16.00]If you can give yourself to someone,
[04:19.31]Then you should.
[04:22.59]Cause it’s a little bit of everything,
[04:26.28]The way you choke, the way you ache,
[04:29.61]It is getting up before you,
[04:32.45]So I can watch you as you wake.
[04:35.88]So in the day in late September,
[04:39.43]It’s not some stupid little ring,
[04:42.26]I’m giving a little bit of everything.
[04:49.30]Oh, it’s a little bit of everything,
[04:53.04]It’s the matador and the bull,
[04:56.33]It’s the suggested daily dosage,
[04:59.41]It is the red moon when it’s full.
[05:03.26]All these psychics and these doctors,
[05:06.45]They’re all right and they’re all wrong,
[05:09.34]It’s like trying to make out every word,
[05:12.92]When they should simply hum along,
[05:16.13]It’s not some message written in the dark,
[05:19.42]Or some truth that no one’s seen,
[05:23.07]It’s a little bit of everything.
