America
«Let us be lovers we’ll marry our fortunes together»
«I’ve got some real estate here in my bag»
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America
«Kathy», I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
«Michigan seems like a dream to me now»
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I’ve gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said»Be careful his bowtie is really a camera»
«Toss me a cigarette, I think there’s one in my raincoat»
«We smoked the last one an hour ago»
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
«Kathy, I’m lost», I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They’ve all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference
Do you remember the last time I said
If I ever thought about lying,
I’d rather think of dying instead
And maybe you remember the last time you called me
to say we were through
How it took a million tears
just to prove they all were for you
But those days are through
‘Cause it wouldn’t have made any difference,
if you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn’t really make any difference,
if you really loved me
You just didn’t love me
‘Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
And maybe you remember that
though I can’t always show proof I was true
No one else could change my mind or
stop me coming home to you
But those days are through
You just did not love me enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me
Enough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you
But those days are through
Your Move
I’ve seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I’m on my way.
I’ve seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I’m on my way.
Take a straight and stronger
course to the corner of your life.
Make the white queen run so fast
she hasn’t got time to make you wise.
‘Cause it’s time, it’s time in time
with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want,
Just remember that the gold
‘Sfor us to capture all we want, anywhere,
Yea, yea, yea.
Don’t surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant comment to me,
Initial it with loving care
Don’t surround
Yourself.
‘Cause it’s time, it’s time in time
with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Don’t surround
Yourself with yourself.
Don’t surround yourself with yourself,
Don’t surround yourself.
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant comment to me,
Send an instant
Initial it with loving care
Comment to me.
Don’t surround Yourself.
‘Cause it’s time, it’s time in time
with your time and its news is captured.
Feel Flows
Unfolding enveloping missiles of soul
Recall senses sadly
Mirage like soft blue like lanterns below
To light the way gladly
Whether whistling heaven’s clouds disappear
Where the wind withers memory
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Unbending never ending tablets of time
Record all the yearning
Unfearing all appearing message divine
Eases the burning
Whether willing witness waits at my mind
Whether hope dampens memory
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Encasing all embracing wreath of repose
Engulfs all the senses
Imposing, unclosing thoughts that compose
Retire the fences
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether harps heal the memory
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel flows (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feelings to grow (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows
Every Picture Tells A Story
Spent some time feelin’ inferior
standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
but I came out looking just the same
Daddy said,»Son, you better see the world
I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don’t lose your head
to a woman that’ll spend your bread»
So I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
if you felt you didn’t fit in
French police wouldn’t give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
when all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on
Down in Rome I wasn’t getting enough
of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
at a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
‘for the Vatican don’t give no sanction
I wasn’t ready for that, no no
I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain’t natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her
I firmly believe that I didn’t need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
The women I’ve known I wouldn’t let tie my shoe
They wouldn’t give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
to help you on the way down the road
I couldn’t quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
’cause it’s all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn’t have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don’t it
One Way Out
Ain’t but one way out baby, Lord I just can’t go out the door.
Ain’t but one way out baby, and Lord I just can’t go out the door.
Cause there’s a man down there, might be your man I don’t know.
Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won’t be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won’t be
Talking that stuff that they don’t know.
Lord, I’m foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain’t no way in the world, I’m going out that front door
Cause there’s a man down there, might be your man I don’t know.
Cause there’s a man down there, might be your man I don’t know.
Cause there’s a man down there,
Freely
Lord, it just might happen to be your man…
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don’t know…
Simple Man
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time… Don’t live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you’ll find love,
And don’t forget son,
There is someone up above.
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
Boy, don’t you worry… you’ll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
That’s The Way
I don’t know how I’m gonna tellyou
I can’t pay with you no more.
I don’t know how I’m gonna do what mama told me
My friend by next door
I can’t believe what people saying
You’re gonna let your hair down.
I’m satisfied to sit here working all day long
You’re on the darker side of town.
And when I’m out I see you walking
Why don’t your eyes see me,
Could it be you’re found another game to play
What did mama say to me
That’s the way, oh, that’s the way it ought to be
Yeah, yeah mama say
That’s the way it ought to stay, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh.
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
And weren’t those tears that filled your eyes
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
Had they got you hypnotized?
Yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
And all you do is stand and cry.
I don’t know what to say about it
When all your ears have turned away
But now’s the time to look again at what you see
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That’s the way, oh, that’s the way it ought to be
Yeah, yeah mama say
That’s the way it ought to stay, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Tiny Dancer
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in mine, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
The Wind
I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul
Where I’ll end up well I think,
only God really knows
I’ve sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never
I listen to my words but
they fall far below
I let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil’s lake
But never, never never never
I’ll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never
Slip Away
What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near
Tell me you would try to slip away somehow
Oh I need you darling I want to see you right now
Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away, oh I need you so.
Love, oh love, how sweet it is
When you steal love,
Let me tell you how sweet it is…
Now I know it’s wrong,
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me darling
I don’t mean to hurt you
But can you slip away
Without him knowin you’re gone
Baby, we could meet somewhere,
Somewhere we both are not known
Can you slip away, slip away,
Slip away-ay-ay-ay… [stop] I need you so
Vamp out…
Oh can you slip away baby
I’d like to see you right now darling
Can you slip away baby
Cause I got to, got to see you
I feel a deep burning inside
Oh I wish you could slip away…
Something In The Air
Call out the instigators
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
Lock up the streets and houses
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right
Hand out the arms and ammo
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right
