1.
You've been tellin' me you're a genius since you were 17.
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean.
2.
If you would only listen, You might just realize what you're missing. You're missing me.
3.
Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worth while?
How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mystery seem so faded.
I can go where no-one else can go. I know what no one else knows.
So here I am just drowning in the rain, with a ticket for a runaway train.
4.
So now we're standing so damn close.
You've been in rehab; you think I don't know.
I just remind you of yesterday. Places forgotten
And friends passed way.
5.
I never thought I'd walk away from you. I did.
But it's a false sense of accomplishment, everytime time I quit.
6.
Jungle life, I'm living in the open. Native beat that carries on.
Burning bright, A fire the blows the signal to the sky
I sit and wonder does the message get to you?
7.
Times Square looks like Avalon in a Disney morphine dream
Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk, at the counter next to me.
I wake up in the bed sometimes and watch her as she sleeps
In the silence and the sirens, I pray her soul to keep.
8.
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in.
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
9.
Oh, but I watch her so sadly.
How can I tell her I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly.
But each day when she walks to the sea,
She looks straight ahead not at me.
10.
Well, I began thinking and my heart is just sinking, looking for a place to go.
Well, isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, and you never really let her know?
11.
There is the sun and moon, they sing their own sweet tune
Watch them when dawn is due sharing one space.
12.
Someone hear my cry. I'm dying for new life.
13.
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die.
And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons Almost made me cry.
14.
Stopped into a church I passed along the way.
Well, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray.
You know, the preacher liked the cold, he knows I'm gonna stay.
15.
And there's no way home,
When it's late and night and you're all alone.
Are there things that you wanted to say?
Do you feel me beside you in your bed..
There beside you where I used to lay?
16.
Thibodeaux, fontaine aux, the place is buzzin’,
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
17.
Broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs,
Can I mix in with your affairs? Share a smoke,
Make a joke, grasp and reach for a leg of hope?
18.
And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time.
Wonderin' what she don't see in me.
Hey, I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
19.
The young have problems, many problems.
We need an understanding heart.
Why don't they help us; try to help us
Before this clay and granite planet blows apart?
20.
It's time to come together
It's up you; what's you're pleasure?
21.
Living life is a game, so they say.
All the games we used to play fade away.
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago.
22.
Same old song.
Just a drop of water in an endless see.
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see.
23.
What will it take to show you
That it's not the life it seems?
I told you time and time again,
You sing the words but don't know what it means
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook.
I held you close as we both shook.
For the last time take a good hard look.
24.
Sound of laughter, shades of earth
Are ringing through my open mind, exciting and inviting me.
/Jai Guru Deva, Om
25.
Walk without rhythm
You won't attract the worm.
