Kurt Vile ~ Classic Rock in Spring

If you know the song well enough, it shouldn't be difficult to figure out where these parts fit in.

Please leave suggestions if anything's wrong; I'm glad to edit this if necessary.

Hey how are ya?
You sure got a way of greeting a man
Might I add the perfect sun tan
You're riding on your yellow Schwinn
While blasting classic rock in spring
A couple of summer demons
With battery recharging
When you hear the Bob Seger song
You know I'll be long gone
Cutting all my classes
Like a hit of acid
Hey how are ya?

Like a dog on a telephone
There is nonsense sustaining
And staying on ya getting off
You find yourself much better off
Feeling a bit less softer even
But coughing up a lung and then some
Yeah, you know I got your battery recharger right here
And hey how are ya?

Enjoy.
