You sure are cool, a European jewel
I dig you most
A letter came, it's not the same
The ink was blue
A relative stopped by to say he saw you, hey
A walkin' down a lonesome town
Some time ago
He said you had a mouth so bad
The lips were rotting off
You dropped a tear to end his fear
You seem quite well
It's a long time spell
I'm wonderin' well
You got an infection
There's bugs in my brain, I can't feel any pain
Just a shaking shake
Just a breaking break
Broke me today in the afternoon
No matter who you fool
You sure are cool, a European jewel
I dig you most
A letter came, it's not the same
The ink was blue
A relative stopped by to say he saw you, hey
A walkin' down a lonesome town
Some time ago
He said you had a mouth so bad
The lips were rotting off
You dropped a tear to end his fear
You seem quite well
It's a long time spell
I'm wondering where you got that infection
There's bugs in my brain
I can't feel any pain
Just a shaking sha€”
[song ends abruptly]
There's bugs in my brain, I can't feel any pain
Just a shaking shake
Just a breaking break broke me today in the afternoon
No matter who you fool, it's a European jewel all in the sky
That's elementary talk
That's elementary talk
The way you were before
Won't you get along
Won't you get along
Won't you get along
Won't you get along
I just missed the boat
The one sailing through your heart
That unknown port
That mysterious sea
The wharf is long and lonely
The ship is out of sight
The sinking orange sun
On the whitecap waves
The rocks and sand and seaweed
The dunes and the tall grass
They say the ferry's discontinued
And I can't stay on the pier
I turn and turn
Whiskers, whiskers, whiskers, whiskers
I see whiskers on your face
The way you look is a disgrace
I guess nothing could take the place of your whiskers, your whiskers
Ha ha, have to laugh you see
'Cause this is where I'd like to be
This and that would seem quite strange
And you couldn't even want to die
If the problem was like that
You can say that to the cutter
Oh no no I think you better
Yesterday a strange phenomenon
And now today
You think it's changed
You tell me that you
Think it's a change
And now today
Yesterday
It turned night time on me
All of a sudden it's dark
I thought I was just layin down
But really I'd passed some time
Where did the time go?
Why did I shut out my lights?
I blew them out
Out out out out
Finally I have stopped
I really stopped
Hey, look around
What a spin I just came out of
Must have been years
What a spin I just came out of
Where am I now?
At least I'm stopped
I'm stopped
What did it take
To stop me?
I'm really stopped
The spin has all spun
I think
The goal of life is
Make a man feel like a god
I know your angel moves
Fell back
Like an injured animal
I watched
The street we were on
Your angel doesn't die
I set you back, that's all
Someone has to watch the road-
You're gone
I'm here
You're here
And I haven't lost art things (?)
I got my vision
That's where I go
I'm so pleased to meet you
How did you get here
You're all around me
How many places have you called your home
How many faces look the same as your own
How did you do it when they stripped you of your pride
Would you say it's time, oh won't you say it's time
You go write on the wall, I will not talk in class
Fifty times, go write on the wall
When they sent you back here
Did they make a mistake
Was it them that lost their reason
Draw me a wise thin as blood
And I watch it dance on a ballroom floor
Send me peaches from afternoon
I know horses that lie to be damned
Baby I'm blessed with a putty knife
Trying to find a window in the painted sand, oh
It's my duty to find you happy today
Just as I'm tearing your life away
Caught around an avalanche
Look at the snow discolored blanch
I tried to lift you underneath an elm tree
But you wanted to go back
I always had a bloody lip, always
Those Cadillacs just float over the road
They don't even know the road is there
How is it they know me well in the wine store
There is no question of it
It's the blank eyed and boxed face that don't understand
Age makes no difference
Shape makes no difference
I observe that all collects dust here as everywhere
The most whited things fade and emerge to no color
Dust enters into all being
I want to thank you
For letting me know
The difference between
Wearing old clothes
And wearing new clothes.
And just when
Each type of clothes
Needs to be worn
Now I remember about saving them
I programmed my abdomen
I don't think about it anymore
It doesn't tell me what to do
I got the network to my nerves now
It's oh so automatic
I just command the boat inside the house
You can't chew well because it feels like a foreign object in your mouth
Well screw my brains
I screwed your
Go take a jump off a cliff
Yeah, just don't look down
Splat!
Way down there
You're laughing so loudly
You're sure a funny thing
You can take all your laughter
And scream at the night
I'll never go with you
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Fire in the hole (?)
Count me once
Count me twice
You better not count me three times
You better just wait and see
I may not be around for long
I'm takin' the next train or plane
To right
To wrong
To right
To wrong
I'm gonna ??? to ??? be a ???
??? while you're missing me ??? with me
You're gonna miss me oh lord
I know you're missing me
But I'm, I'm nowhere at all
Switching ???
Switching ???
Can't come around the way you do
Say that you're somebody new
I knew you from before
That's the way you are once more
Can't come 'round here
Say you're somebody new
'Cause I know you
I know you well
Well, well, well
I know you well
And it's been tough
You've been around
I know you well
Time won't tell
What you've been doing
Time won't tell
I know you well
Well
Breathtaker, he took his toll
Microphone and rock 'n roll
Beat me up and take my time
Run up and down my scrambled spine
Early mornin', he comes up
Rock'n'rollin', he goes down
Down to see her, he says where
How'd ya feel
It sets a fire in you
Think you're made of steel
Go 'round the corner
Hot tail fever, it's the cold
Breathtaker, he took his toll
Mighty cold, rock'n'roll
A thousand jets fly to your door
He nailed you to the floor
A tale a sparrow told
With your breast in a moonbeam
Foot on a stair
You weep on my shoulder
I feel full shackled
I think you're lonely (?)
I been here cause I think there's been a change
You're not in my pocket
You're not on the phone
With your ear to listen
And you're not on the phone
I'm a liar (?)
But I could write you a letter, now
But I don't know where I am
Never pure but I'm (show you?)
You're lost in the jungles
With your prints on the fingers
And your painted footsteps
You questioned her legs, spread on the table
Vultures that prey in her bosom, cursed her questions
Said she was dead anyway
A virgin mild scream
She wasn't dead, just wasted
Said I'll find a true eagle some day
Give him my genitals in a paper cup
Give him my soul and rainbow
Lie (?), sing this song
Take a god from his list
Push a baby from these legs
Just drifting down
A morning town
With stacks (slats?) of wood
And chicken wire
Took poaching egg
A wedding cake
Passed by the way
I heard it say
That you were mine
And I was yours
In that way
We'll feel okay
Then come with me
And come and see, we'll go
Another town come
Dripping down
And I'll get you
A house so blue
You'll wish you were
With me some place
Way far away again
Into the mountains and valleys
Of the night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You won't go buying maple wood
You tell me that you are free
Well let's see
Well it doesn't matter 'cause
This is going all the way out
If you think there's a future anywhere
All the way out
Whoops, I spilled the beans
All the way out
Listen bub, it's on the wall
Oh don't you fall
All the way out
Just keep looking
Just follow with your hands and eyes
I know I don't have much to say
Mmmmmm I don't have much to show
But I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I don't have much to show
But I know, I know you
You're waiting too
Oh I'm waiting, I am waiting
And I know there's an answer
That is waiting
For you and I when we die
Oh I know there's an answer
That is waiting
For today I'll smoke a cigar
For today I'll play your guitar
For today I'll be real nice
For today I'll cut you thrice
For today I'll cup your eyes
For today make no disguise
There's a blanket for ya, doctor
There's a full-fledged man of war
There's an ink spot on your jersey
And scuff marks on your floor
For today you smoked a cigar
For today you felt real cool
For today you wore a blue shirt
Gotta go quick ending absurd
Who says the vision is nearly blurred
Fingers fingers fingers fingers
It's the end this time I know
Blow breeze, the air is heavy
Hangs down where you walked before
Telling lies and using spoons
To find the rebels in the rooms
Where Jesus was all the time
Caring for the tender children
Looking at the rooms once more
I find a line drawn on the wall
It spells your name my lord and yes
Caper, a caper
God is one big caper
Life is one big caper
Life is one big caper
Life one big caper
Life one big caper
Caper
You fool with it and it fools with you
Well life is one big caper
You reach a finger ???
??? a finger to a fork (?)
'Cause I...
Caper
She came to you with words so true
Talked herself right into you
Now life is one big caper it's a
When we go
I'm falling down to the river
I'm gonna climb another mountain
I'm going down to the mountain
I'm coming up from below
I'm gonna climb as high as I can
I ain't got no other place to go
Down to the river
I'm going down to the river
I'm going to spread myself around
I'm going down to the river
Spread myself around
How much time
How much time
How much time
I'm floating in a sea of red
Drowning down, can't get no air
And you done told me
I've got no life
I'm rolling my eyes
The last gasp is coming on
All over my body
There's a deep deep chill
It's been coming a long time
The rushing waters are still
It's hopeless to be here
Please take me away
I've finished my walking
I've finished my talking
I can't beg you no more
Let the red sea take me down
So I don't remember not a thing when I wake
There's nothing but goodbye
I've thought all I'm going to think
Take a conjecture
Snuff it out and see
All those glimpses of good things
Got away to the dark
I'm floating in a sea of red
You got your swiveling chair
You can turn all about
You got your tickers ticking
Tock-tock, tick-tock
Just take away the deadwood
Let it all grow green
Put some silk under you
Or it could be wool
I can call a light fixture man
To put in the lights
As long as you hang around
I'm not going anywhere
I'll put out the thoughts
And we'll look at them
We'll study the structure
And we'll draw a conclusion
And we'll make up our minds
And we'll talk about it
And you can spend some time
In front of me
Because I broke through a window
And I'm here on top of you
We're havin' our best time
Just yes it too gloriously (?)
You walk on my platform
You can take the rest of me
I'm fixed with you now
It's some kind of an eternity
But I'm lasting forever
I can't shake loose
But I broke through the spell
Now I got lucidity
And I'm clear as glass rainbow
And the shadow of leaves
We're walking down the street
Now it's a hundred degrees
And I'm freezing on Mount Everest
I got back in my dream
And I'm dreaming forever
Woo, I'm awake
I'm sleeping in the wake time
I'm awake in my sleep
I got my fingers wet
There was a lot of rain
It was pouring bottles
And those cold bottles
Got my fingers wet
But I'll bet the glass you got
Puts a liquid in you
And then you're fluid
I got me my mechanical produced beverage
I know my liquids
I guess I'll duck in from the storm
And I'll let those bottles crash down in the street
The streets of mercy
Smashing all those bottles
On the pavement in the rain
I won't drive my car for the rest of the day
I'll think about breathing
And watch the air rustle about
Bye-bye, you Sunday
It's not a mile I made you
You just appeared in time for me
You walked into my horizon
You never left my sight
You just became a lot of other things
I got my reason for just where I am
I'm thankful of the walk I had
You told me you would never end
But I made you from the earth
Except I jumped and didn't come back
Hey, look at all the things gone by
It's a stream of consciousness
Except of course those green plants
Are they really really real
Hey your hair, even if it's white
I'll get it back dark again
Listen to me please, sit over here
I never felt this way
And lived to say âI'm goneâ to you
I no longer exist, I'm on a planet
But I keep thinking about time
And I frequent your grave, life
And you frequent mine
And we're here together
There ain't no better place to be
I'll write your ticket
And you can't talk about me
You can say my name now
You know you got me listening
I can go the night now
This place is sparkling
And I'm all fresh and new
I got you in my world
And I feel my body inside of my clothes
I got inner presences
I am all around
Achieved my task
Now I'm waiting for you
To share the spaces that we traversed in this life
So, if it's heaven
Did you ever think about me?
Did you ever say my name?
Did you ever want to be me?
Aw, did you ever, did you ever
Oh, baby, now that I'm without you
I can't help but think about you
You took away my sense of motion
You took away my sense of time
I been havin' a bad case of the second thoughts
You know what (how?) the second thoughts is
You think first and then you think about it
Bad case of the second thoughts
Second thoughts
Joy to the world
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Sailors sail the seas on end
They leave someplace
They'll come again
And if you're there
You might see them
Carefree as the summer wind
Way up high
Up in that cloud
I know that the time
We spent together
Weren't always meant to be
Oh the voices outside that we heard so clearly
Weren't meant for us to hear
So it's true I was with you
With you an everlasting moment
Grew to be
Listen to the other side of life
Listen, don't turn back the tide of life
If I should go and try to find
The only thing that's on my mind
Each and every day I dream a dream
In which I don't return
But I can never feel the threat
No never feel a threat of losing
Anything I get for free
So listen to the other side of life
Gretchen, Gretchen
I've been fetchin'
Some shiny fish
From the sea
The sea
Green dreams in the springtime
April dreams that bloom in May
Green dream's better than gray
Come all the colors that bloom in May
The earth wakes up
But you're not here
Gone driving on home
Green dreams
It's about two things
Power and luck
And they come from the love and knowledge
Embrace your chances for a miracle
You got it at your doorstep
Just open the door
And when it's open
There be so much more
Right now I have a quest
To destroy what I did
I wanna see the future
I'll go through that door
And leave my belongings
You know how heavy they are
I can't ever show that
I can't ever leave
I can not
You can yet
Such is love is
Such love is
As I see it [2x]
Continuously
After being rescued
Sit helpless [3x]
Outside of you
I guess I can not
You're stuck in the sand
Go home
Walk on the same road
Walk down the same road every day
But don't let me fall prey
To the tired things all around
And when you don't know whether to fight or
Just then it happens
All these things that happen every day
Turn around and mix them up
Walkin' down the same road
Walkin' down the same road
Walk down the same road everyday [2x]
Every day
Walk down the same road [2x]
There's only one altar
That's the refrigerator
Where you keep your food
Whether you slaughter human, animal, or grapes
It's your altar
The table for your food
Devour God's knowledge
At your altar
In your food you eat
Build your blocks to stand up
Straight and erect
Skank, you skank
Leave
I got away after you left
Now I'm gone, don't see me
Forget and go on somewhere
I forgot now I'm free
I ain't going back to no mystery
You call me out
From this cave
And now I fall out
Into my grave
You lead the way
I'll walk behind
I'd rather not try
Rain's pouring down in the window
And I'm sitting here in Madison
Trying to figure out where you are
Yes, I'm sitting here in my car
Drove a long long way
But I didn't have no rain until today
I was way out far where it didn't rain much
I could see pretty clearly
But now today there's all this rain
I guess it's the end
I guess I just really didn't know
And now we've got to stay here
Or else get all wet
You know you can't bring no
You're pretty nonchalant
With your four (fore?) arms
And your bleeding teeth
I think you're pretty nonchalant
Did you ever go down to see the Quinn boys?
When I walked outta there I went awwwww!
Meet you in the Bowery
Goodbye Beacon Hill
Hello misfortune, I've got time to kill
Time to kill, I've got time to kill
Spend all of my days roaming all the ways
Deliver me and see the sun
See the moon in dark June
Kiss the sand and ocean salt
Take my brother by the hand
It's you, and I demand
Did you ever go down to see the Quinn boys
When I walked down there I went ???
Meet you in the Bowery
Goodbye Beacon Hill
Hello misfortune, I've got time to kill
Time to kill, I've got time to kill
Spend all of my days roaming all of the ways
Deliver me and see the sun, see the moon in dark June
Kiss the sand and ocean salt
Take my brother by the hand
Just because you're lonely
Just because your mother took your daughter from her only
Da da da da da da...
Just because you're lonely
Just because your mother took your daughter from you, oh no
Think you â come around â here
Asking for my son
I just have to tell you I ain't got none
Are you goin' down to the preacher?
Are you gonna think he's your teacher?
Well it's a poor boy, a poor boy
It's a poor boy who lost his mama
It's a poor boy who lost his father
It's a poor boy who lost all his friends
And it's a poor boy who lost his woman
It's a poor boy
It's only that I forget how to look at things
In green and yellow of the world outside
The faces of the people in the shadows
It's not only that I could not practice art
And you know a man without his work's no good
I sail the seven seas to sing about it
This one's dark and dangerous as you know
I sing about it as the ones before
But the next one oh my lover will be lonely
I'll scream your name in a tunnel
In the alley
I'll look for you each and every night
I'll be a desperate man, what a man
Who longs to love and hold and yes provide for
And takes his lovely lady by the hand
And leads her home for a promised land
Who gets up in the morning mmmm
Ahh â you wouldn't believe it tastes like candy
You see something that wasn't there
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
She came, she left, she'll stay one day
She came and she left, she'll stay one day
Settle down and don't think twice
Your uncle Steve was awful nice
Yeah he was very nice
Yeah Steve he was very nice
He was a HOO he was a HOO
Very nice
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You come in
Say you're my friend
Whoa and then you
Tell me it's the end
You walk by
Close your eyes
And then you tell me
Goodbye
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You come in
Say you're my friend
Whoa and then you
Tell me it's the end
Oooooooohhhhhhh
You go
Who's got a license to kill
Tell me who's got a license to kill
Tell you, I got a license to kill
I got a license to kill myself
Wanna die, wanna die die die
Wanted, wanted someone there
Oh baby, you can't make me live
Listen, you can't make me die
Just turn the page to twenty-three
Tomorrow be twenty-four
In the morning
A new day
Late at night
It's not the same
It's a mystery
A history
You're gonna live until you die
It makes you shake
It knocks you out
A blinding light
Black as night
Being born
You got no choice
You're gonna live until you die
Fifty-two years old today
Forty-four yesterday
It's all mixed up
Don't make no sense
Just turn the page to twenty-four
There may be a hundred
There been before
You might have been
Somebody else
Your world is shaking
It makes you shake
Might as well go on and shake
Just turn the page to twenty-three
Go ahead and take it on down
It's only up you know
Go ahead take it off, all your clothes
Stand in front of me and show me
What you are
Oh I'm not that really but
Yes you are
Don't kid yourself
You made it good
You made it bad
And all the time you knew
Just what you were doing
And why
I don't have to show you where
The worst and the best choices were made
But oh before you go and make any mistakes
Let me give you my only heart
In a manner of speaking
I think you're really something
I've got no time to spend
Talking all around the subject
But let my body tell you
Just what I think about you
What else do I have?
Not much
I made it grow and helped it along
And helped take it down some too
I'd love to lift you up
Show the world to see
Before anything gets hold of you
Ripping and tearing
You really did need that
At the edge of reality
You'll find the bird who'll sing to thee
Leave all you have
Leave all you have
At the edge of rodeo row (?)
Wrap it up in ragweed
Take it to the doctor
Great man above the clouds
Wrap it up in ragweed
Oh no, she's come again
Take me to another friend
Make this the end of it
I just wanna die
Oh, I'm living again
Isn't this the very end
But I'm living again
Yes it's the very end
It comes every century
You've got to help me dear
Because there's no release
From this tangled beast
You got to be my guide
Ridin' by my side
I got a sickness now
When I'm gone it seems
You got my very dreams
I took a chance now
Chance for romance now
Don't let me leave
You've got to help me dear
Because there's no release
From this tangled beast
He's gotta (?) walking straight
Straight to the stockyard gate
I ain't about to die
But you can have your way
Don't ever go away
'Cause you know everything
Hangs from a golden chain
Around your white neck
I'm spendin' time now
With the great ones
That hang from your ceiling
You've got to help me dear
Because there's no release
It's not the right time
Something's wrong, but I'm gonna do it anyway
You can put your bloody mind in a paper bag and eat it for lunch
What is God?
What are you doing here? Or there?
I am a fool
Forgive me
If a door is open
Hurried, ha ha
Aw, we've been waitin' twelve seconds
Since February thirty-second
It's been twelve minutes since February
Now the thirty-second
If your next last day of your life
Everybody dies
Get your knife, no leave it on
Get your knife, get your knife and leave it on
Get your knife and leave it on
It's February thirty-second and we're gonna get it now
Because the last day is February thirty-second
C'mon now, we're gonna get 'em all
This time its over, we're gonna get 'em
Aw c'mon, we have been ???
We're gonna kill 'em all
We're gonna kill 'em
Cause it's the thirty-second day of February
Oh it's raining on a dying man
C'mon now, there's a couple over there, let's get 'em
Good night [3x]
McCain
McCain was my name
God is now alive in the world today
God it's so hard
God is still alive
When the telephone melts
And it's still ringing your name
When your shoes got holes
And the sidewalk's not the same
And you're falling down
Then you can think about your mother
Yes, and you can think about your friends
But you can't blame me for not being around
You know I told you long ago
Before you grew so old
That I wasn't made for claws falling on my face
I say you knew it was a jungle
And I was a man, had a place to go
If you can't go with me
Then I just don't know
But I've thought about your humor
When you laughed in my face
You know I didn't mind
When you stood on my hand
And then I turned the tables around
I thought it just another day
I thought you saw it my way
But oh, to my surprise
There's a difference in your eyes
And I thought it hard to find you
Say you wandered astray
Say you think you'll find a way
But you can joke about me baby
Yeah, you can say my name in vain
Wondering what your enthusiasm is gonna be like
When I see you again
I got a good feeling about it
And I'm prepared for whatever results from the next time we get together
And it's not too long away.
I'm gonna see you soon
We got an appointment
We got a time set
I'll be there
And, I expect, so will you
We'll be waiting to see how we look to each other
The next time we get together
But I got a good feeling about it.
I think you do too
I really do think that you got a better feeling about it than I do
But I like that
You give what you give me
And I get a lot
You give what you give me
Christ told Moses
On a merry old day
You got work to do
I can't chase no one person
Mess me up, and I ain't no good
There's lots of people and lots of ???
You give what you give me
I got to tell you
I take what I want
I don't take nothin'
You can take what you want
I don't know, I really don't
They come to the door asking for someone I never knew
Get into situations
I'm way far away from
Did you really think you could teach me something?
I already learned all I know
Sittin' here thinkin' about
What I got to do
Sittin' here tryin' to think
Where do my talents lie
Yes I'm sittin' here thinkin'
What am I supposed to be
What does it mean that I'm livin'
What will it mean when I die
And how about you there
Do you know what you are
No matter who you are there
You must get the point
I came to ask you
You don't realize
What it is I have to do
You don't realize
What it is I've got to do
Simple as that
You don't realize
I don't know where things are
It's so dark I have to feel my way around
And listen to some little sound
What's that
Oh, but I'm in my cave
It's true, I can't get out
But also they can't get in
I suppose we always take our chances
But when it's raining down diamonds
And the rays of those things
Puts you in a blinding dazzle of light
Like you never saw before
You show the man your picture
And you walk on through the door
You click your car in the box
And then you empty your stride
Cause you know where you are
Dab in your orange oil (?)
And place them 'round your plate
It's all clean and bell rings
And you can watch 'em comin' down by
They're comin' down by
Pick them up and drop them in
Press two green buttons and watch
Spin (?) smooth (?)
Well I, but (?) I try
Work something out
I found out
Something different
Blinka blinka blinka blinka
Do do do it
Do do do it
Do do do it fine
Do it fine
Do it fine
Then you'll agree
That later you'll be here
I'm hoping it's true
I'm so sad
We're so bad
Not even real
Time will come
If a-you hope
All will be fine
Because you
Must go too
I'm gotta tell you a story
'bout a little girl
She broke my heart
When I was five
I've got so old now
Where's the other half of my heart
I just can't find it, the other side
I'm gonna tell you a story
'bout a little girl
She broke my heart
When I was five
I've got so old now
Where's the other half of my heart
Shirley ran with the big fat man
All over town with a nervous frown
If you behave then you can save
A license for your liquor store
Shoot a hen, run down again
To the marsh you saw in a field of straw
That's Lake Lagoon in the evening time
Just before the sun goes down
Betcha moon won't catch you tonight
Betcha got you running all right (should it be all right?)
Let the redwoods keep you awake
Shining in the lake for sake
Out in a boat on Lake Lagoon
[woman] What do you want to sing?
We have some time
To set it aside
And we have set it aside
We have set aside a time when we're going to be together
And it's not too long from now
And I just can't wait
I can't wait to be with you
I want you on my side
I want you in front of me
On the side of me
In back of me
I want you all around, and
I promise, I'll be all around you
I think you're gonna like it, too
I think I can summon all my powers, and
You'll... can't get away, because
You may let me
Because you don't want to get away
You don't know any other place that's better
There is no other place that's better
You're in my world, and
You love it, and
I love you, and
As a matter of fact
It's the way that you act
As a matter of well (where?)
It's customary
It was a real pie
I got it all in the eye
My friend Dusty she told me
She wanted to hold me
I laughed to myself
It's all on a shelf
It burns and I smoke it
These words (?) that I choke it
Finally he cried louder
Easy [4x]
Take it easy [3x]
Easy [4x]
Take it easy [2x]
I'm looking at a blank page
Looking at a blank page
I'm just singing a song
That I didn't write
Walk out shut the door
It's the same it was before
Walk out shut the door
You didn't tell me mister that you were fooling me
You lead me on, I took your word
And now I'm wonderin' what it is I heard
Was it the words of an angel or a devil in disguise
I'm not sure what it was I saw in your eyes
You deceived me mister it sure seems that way
You said you were gonna do away with today
I guess you knew that wasn't possible
I guess there's no such thing as today or any day
There's only what you are and what you're doing
And if you're...
And if you're staying back behind
You must wanna be the one that's blind
To some people that could use you to help them get along
Would you show me the way, O Lord
Show me the way
I got an ace to tell the time
I got my face all red with wine
I got my eyes above all men
I don't even listen to them
Would you show me the way, O Lord
Show me the way
I'm walking on a planet
I take everything for granted
The stars are falling
Emptiness, and I am calling
For your caress
Would you show me the way, O Lord
What can I say what can I sing
You always knew about everything
What can I show what can I do
Is it all for me, is it all for you
Well I don't know, we'll have to see
Everyone needs, 'cept you and me
And then sometime I'm not so sure
There'll never be another cure
The early morning sun shines through
And all my thoughts are shades of blue
Oh I don't know, I'll have to go
Oh I don't know the reason for
I already left
It's no surprise
I saw it in your raining eyes
Adrift a dream
A time we spent
Much more than that
He was a cruel young boy
A cruel young boy
Used to set traps
For some retarded friends he had
But one day
When all the snow was melting
Their mother, Mrs. Potter
Was on my bus
Going home
It stopped at her stop
She got off first
Stepped off the bus
Slipped on the curbing
Fell into the gutter
With all the slush and mud
Arrest yourself, don't wait any longer
Cause yourself to cease
Stop and think about it
Stop and think about it
Just stop moving, keep yourself still
Know that it's forever
This thing you have right here
At the end of the Macabees'
The Jones' find their fault
At the end of the day
Don't turn around you'll have to pay
At the end of the rivers
Go find your way through every day
At the end of the rivers
At the end of the Macabees'
The Jones' find their fault
At the end of the day
Don't turn around you'll have to pay
What did you do today
All together now
One, two
All together now
It's all goin' to the war path
I swear I must be part Indian
Ridin' to a war path
Move up the warpath
Dance of death
Run around the red fire
Thump thump thump thump
War dance all night long
War dance all night long
War dance all night long
Sun give us the strength to live
Wind bring our path back home
Oh moon, give us stealth
Oh moon, flow like their blood
Oh rain, flow like their blood
At the pierce of our spear
You look just like I expected you would
Absolute knock-out, knock-down
I'm dead
I'm crawling at the feet of you
I'm on the floor
And I like bein' here
Hello, your feet, hello
I'm, I'm at your feet
[laughs]
You're havin' a good time, too
You know, it's only a funny thing that we're doing
But it tells each other that
Somethin' real is here, and
It's just so nice
To be with you
Oh, my beloved
There's nobody else on my mind
Just you
Let's see how it works out
If there's any time you want to look at the exit door
Go ahead and do it
I'm... prepared for all that
I... I've been around
But I didn't see you anyplace else
And I'm so glad that I can see you here now, and
You wanna stay, it's okay
We ain't gonna let you wash your car
Said we ain't gonna let you wash your car
It's so damn dirty you can't see too far
Take me back
Take me bones
And take my blood
And dash it all (?)
Hey sit back, it's easy
Well sit back, it's easy
Well sit back, and it's easy
Well sit back, and it's easy, easy, easy
Yes, once again
A-hah, sit back, and it's easy
Sit back and it's easy
Sit back, whoo
My my it's your ironside
Mmmmmm that's you
Oh oh you've got a lot to give
Yes yes you're true
Well, don't need a horse to hold me
Don't need no automobile
When you are what you are
Then there ain't no dream they could steal (that could)
I'm walking up to you
You've got me holding your hand
I'm not a foreigner no no no
I'm just a man you made (memory)
Carpenters are all around
There's voices here in the dark
I have to beat them before it gets dark
I hear them now it's true
They're coming even out of you
I just have to pretend that they're not there
But I'm never gonna go anywhere
I even know they're there
I don't care ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
And so we go
Like times of old
To stay on one road
Or choose another
I just don't know
Which way to go
When we were small
And not so tall
We didn't know
Which road to go
I just don't know which way to go
Please thrill me two times
I never thrilled like this before
By two times I mean just one other time
Please thrill me two times
If you think that you're the one
Let me into summer sun
Well you're right, I've been surmised
By the appearance of the sky
By the look that's in your eyes
I see how the summer flies
Way up high without its wings
Fortunate for everything
I want you to speak aloud
Tell me of a sparkling crowd
Why they tremble at the sound
Of a lazy eerie round
Shotgun shells are on the ground
He said show up wearing black or white
I looked at my clothes and it seemed
Ahhh, they were all black
They carried my clothes in coffins
You said yeah, put them in the closet
Oooh, time, oh, space
He wound a silver thread around my neck
I looked around but ahhh
Land sakes!
They bought all their oranges from Florida
You said just put them in the closet
Oooh, time, oh, space
He brought a lot of phony eyebrow pencils
I hid behind an electric fence
Oh they brought all the jellyfish from Ireland
Ireland
You said ah, just put 'em you know where
In the closet, that's where
In the closet
Oooh, time, oh, space
He said show up beat up
Wearing black or white
I looked at my clothes, they were all, all black
They carried in my clothes on coffins
Ahh, you just said put 'em in the closet
Sitting in your morning sun
Old black night has all been done
Once again your picture's new
Seems it's quiet just like you
Looking at a miracle
Living in a natural way
Lord, I know that you're the one
It's equal
Equaled in life
Giving and receiving [2x]
How could
How could it not be
The beginning (?)
