Learn a couple of chords and write about incest

just analyze his music, m8. look at his chord progressions (you should know music theory to understand them better), vocal melodies, etc

Jeff is very into surrealist automatism, stream of conciousness So practice just letting things fall out of your brain without effort or thought. It's just a guess but I would think the way he wrote many of his lyrics is by making collages of the best sounding lines that came out of this kind of a process.

Oh and also probably doing some editing to the raw phrases afterwards to ensure rhyming, structure and a loose narrative
