Cover art for Too Much lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

I could be wrong, but is the lyric "writing on that" and not "riding on that"? Obviously it would sound the same, but it's much more sensible if the word is "writing."

What.

Writing on that makes sense in its own nice and weird way, but it's definitely "riding on that" as in the idiom.
