I awoke today and found the frost
Perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it
Gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold and all
The trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going
But I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falli... |
Out on some borderline
Some mark of in between
I lay down golden-in time
And woke up vanishing
Sweet bird you are
Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars
Somewhere with your wings on time
You must be laughing
Behind our eyes
Calendars of our lives
Circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time an... |
The priest sat in the airport bar
He was wearing his fathers tie
And his eyes looked into my eyes so far
Whenever the words ran dry
Behind the lash and the circles blue
He looked as only a priest can: through
And his eyes said me and his eyes said you
And my eyes said, Let us try
He said, You wouldnt like it here
No, i... |
Light up light up
Light up your lazy blue eyes
Moons up nights up
Takin the town by surprise
Night time night time
Day left an hour ago
City light time
Must you get ready so slow
There are places to come from and places to go
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out int... |
Lesson in Survival
Spinning out on turns
That gets you tough
Guru books-the Bible
Only a reminder
That youre just not good enough
You need to believe in something
Once I could in our love
Black road
Double yellow line
Friends and kin
Campers in the kitchen
Thats fine sometimes
But I know my needs
My sweet tumbleweed

I wonder who they are
The men who really run this land
And I wonder why they run it
With such a thoughtless hand
Tell me what are their names
And on what street do they live?
Id like to ride right over
This afternoon and give
Them a piece of my mind
About peace for mankind
Peace is not
An awful lot
To ask |
There was a moon and a street lamp
I didnt know I drank such a lot
Till I pissed a tequila-anaconda
The full length of the parking lot!
Oh, I talk too loose
Again I talk too open and free
I pay a high price for my open talking
Like you do for your silent mystery
Come and talk to me
Please talk to me
Talk to me, talk to... |
Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness, blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness, blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness, bli... |
The blonde in the bleachers
She flips her hair for you
Above the loudspeakers
You start to fall
She follows you home
But you miss living alone
You can still hear sweet mysteries
Calling you
The bands and the roadies
Lovin em and leavin em
Its pleasure to try em
Its trouble to keep em
Cause it seems like youve gotta giv... |
Papas faith is people
Mama she believes in cleaning
Papas faith is in people
Mama shes always cleaning

She dont like my eyelids painted green
She dont like me staying up late

Caught in the middle
Carol, were middle class
Were middle aged
We were wild in the old days
Birth of rock n roll days
Now your kids are coming up straight
My childs a stranger, I bore her
But I could not raise her
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long

Where are you now
Are you in some hotel room
Does it have a view?
Are you caught in a crowd
Or holding some honey
Who came on to you?
Why do you have to be so jive
Ok hang up the phone
It hurts
But something survives
Though its undermined
Id still like to see you sometime
Im feeling so good
And my friends all tell me

Three waitresses all wearing
Black diamond earrings
Talking about zombies
And Singapore slings
No trouble in their faces
Not one anxious voice
None of the crazy you get
From too much choice
The thumb and the satchel
Or the rented Rolls-Royce
And you think she knows something
By the second refill
You think shes enlighte... |
I was an unmarried girl
Id just turned twenty-seven
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a jezebel
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
Id be cast in shame
Into the Magdalene Laundries
Most girls come here pregnant
Some by their own fathers
Bridget got that belly by her parish priest

Back in 1957
We had to dance a foot apart
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
Holding their rulers without a heart
And so with just a touch of our fingers
Ah, it could make our circuitry explode
All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
We were so young
Oh come in
Come in... |
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when youre older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
People hurry by so quickly
Dont they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs to aging children... |
The Minus is loveless
He talks to the land
And the leaves fall
And the pond over-ices
She dont know the system, Plus
She dont understand
Shes got all the wrong fuses and splices
Shes not going to fix it up
Too easy
The masking tape tangles
Its sticky and black
And the copper
Proud headed Queen Lizzie

Im down to a roll of dimes
Im stalking the slot thats hot
I keep hearing bells all around me
Jingling in the lucky jackpots
They keep you tantalized
They keep you reaching for your wallet
Here in fools paradise

He said he ran a cleaning plant
That cat was clanking with coin

When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In a dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an
Underdog position
Cellars and chittlins
When Lester ... |
Turning and turning
Within the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart
The centre cannot hold
And a blood dimmed tide
Is loosed upon the world
Nothing is sacred
The ceremony sinks
Innocence is drowned
In anarchy
The best lack conviction
Given some time to think
And the worst are full of pass... |
Im Don Juans reckless daughter
I came out two days on your tail
Those two bald-headed days in November
Before the first snowflakes sail
Out on the vast and subtle plains of mystery
A split tongue spirit talks
Noble as a nickel chief
Striking up an old juke box
And he says:
Snakes along the railroad tracks.
He says, Eag... |
Its coming on Christmas, theyre cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on
Yeah, but it dont snow here, it stays pretty green
You want to make a lot of money and split this crazy scene
I wish I had a river and I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I... |
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
And though we shared a common space I know Ill never meet again
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
I asked him would he hurry
But we crawled the canyons slowly
Through the buyer... |
Sisotowbell Lane
Noah is fixing the pump in the rain
He brings us no shame
We always knew that he always knew
Up over the hill
Jovial neighbours come down when they will
With stories to tell
Sometimes they do
Yes sometimes we do
We have a rocking chair
Each of us rocks his share
Eating muffin buns and berries
By the st... |
Let me speak, let me spit out my bitterness
Born of grief and nights without sleep and festering flesh
Do you have eyes?
Can you see like mankind sees?
Why have you soured and curdled me?
Oh you tireless watcher
What have I done to you?
That you make everything I dread
And everything I fear
Come true?
Once I was blesse... |
The way I see it,” he said
“You just can’t win it
Everybody’s in it for their own gain
You can’t please them all
There’s always somebody calling you down
I do my best and I do good business
There’s a lot of people asking for my time
They’re trying to get ahead
They’re trying to be a good friend of mine
But I was a free... |
It fell from midnight skies
It drummed on the galvanized
In the washroom, women tracked the rain
Up to the make-up mirror
Liquid soap and grass
And Jungle Gardenia crash
On Pine-Sol and beer ...

Dont interrupt the sorrow
Youre darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses

And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall

Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me, oh

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Dont it always go to show
You never know what you got till its gone ?

They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum
They charged the people a dollar and a half just to... |
The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
And why he came to port I wonder
To see a lady so my friends say
She dances for the sailors
In a smoky cabaret bar underground
Down in a cellar in a harbour town
I know he told her love was treasure
And they would reap the fullest bounty
He only comes to port for pleasure
So when the ... |
Once in a while
In a big blue moon
There comes a night like this
Like some surrealist
Invented this 4th of July
Night ride home
Hula girls
And caterpillar tractors in the sand
The ukulele man
The fireworks
This 4th of July
Night ride home
I love the man beside me
We love the open road
No phones til Friday
Far from the ... |
He is three
Ones in the middle unmoved
Waiting
To show what he sees
To the other two
To the one attacking--so afraid
And the one that keeps trying to love and trust
And getting himself betrayed
In the plan--oh
The divine plan
God must be a boogie man!
Ones so sweet
So overly loving and gentle
He lets people in

I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I‘m going on down to Yasgurs farm
I‘m going to join in a rock ‘n roll band
Ive got to get back to the land
And set my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves

Marlena under Foster Grants
Shes undercover from the dawns advance
That girl is travel-drained
And the neon mercury vapor stained
Miami sky
Its red as meat
Its a cheap pink rose
Otis in the drivers seat
Watches the street lights fade away
On louvered blocks in green sea air
In fluorescent fossil yards
Slippers are shuf... |
Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
Feather canyons everywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now

Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel
In the Broadway bridge
We are crawling on our knees
Weve got flashlights and batteries
We got cold cuts from the fridge
Last year about this time
We used to climb up in the branches
Just to sway there in some breeze
Now the cops on the street
They want Cherokee Louise

Its a long, long way from Canada
A long way from snow chains
Donkey vendors slicing coconut
No parkas to their name
Black babies covered in baking flour
The cooks got a carnival song
Were going to lay down someplace shady
With dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland

All day I face the barren waste
Without a taste of water
Cool water
Old Dan and I
Our throats slate dry
Our spirits cry out for water
Cool clear water
Keep on movin Dan
Some devils had a plan
Buried poison in the sand
Dont drink it man
Its in the water
Cool clear water
In my mind I see
A big green tree
And a river flow... |

Frightened by the devil
Drawn to those who aint afraid

Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know Ive been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away

Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin

Now you gotta keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass

She pulls the shade
Its just another sunny Sunday
She dodges the light like Blanche DuBois
Bright colors fade away on such a
Sunny Sunday
She waits for the night to fall
Then she points a pistol through the door
And she aims at the streetlight
While the freeway hisses
Dogs bark as the gun falls to the floor

Youre my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
Cause youre my thrill

Nothing seems to matter
Heres my heart on a silver platter
Oh where is my will

Everybody looks so ill at ease
So distrustful so displeased
Running down the table
I see a borderline
Like a barbed wire fence
Strung tight, strung tense
Prickling with pretense
A borderline
Why are you smirking at your friend?
Is this to be the night when
All well-wishing ends?
All credibility revoked?
Thin skin, thic... |
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
He caught a dragonfly inside a jar
And fearful when the sky was full of thunders
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return, we can only look behind from where... |
Ill try to keep myself open up to you
Thats a promise that I made to love
When it was new

To keep the good feelings alive
I said it like it was something to strive for
Ill try to keep myself open up to you

If you can keep your head
While all about you
People are losing theirs and blaming you
If you can trust yourself
When everybody doubts you
And make allowance for their doubting too
If you can wait
And not get tired of waiting
And when lied about
Stand tall
Dont deal in lies
And when hated
Dont give in to hating back

Oh, let your little light shine
Let your little light shine
Shine on Vegas and Wall Street
Place your bets
Shine on the fishermen
With nothing in their nets
Shine on rising oceans and evaporating seas
Shine on our Frankenstein technologies
Shine on science
With its tunnel vision
Shine on fertile farmland
Buried under s... |
Magdalene is trembling
Like a washing on a line
Trembling and gleaming
Never before was a man so kind
Never so redeeming

In Exxon blue
In radiation rose

When all the slaves are free?

Of the darkness in mens minds
What can you say
That wasnt marked by history
Or the T.V. news today
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
His grandpa loved an empire
His sister loved a thief
And lindsey loved the way... |
So heres to you
May your dreams come true
May old Father Time
Never be unkind
And through the years
Save your smiles and your tears

Each new day is a kiss
Sent from up above
With an angels love
So heres to you
May your skies be blue

I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around this dirty town
The children let out from their schools

Waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood

And he was playin real good for free

Traveling through all these highs and lows
I heard there was no sickness

They are like the stars

Jag steg och föll med skjutna vingar
Genom glass-slott i aprilskyar
Och fjädergrottor överallt
Har sett de bästa moln
Men nu skymmer de solen
De regnar och snöar på varenda en
Och allt jag borde ha gjort men
Moln kom ivägen
Jag har sett på moln från båda sidor nu
Från in och ut, och ändå ser jag nu bara molnillusioner

The sleepless nights
The daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates
The endless waits

I wish I were in love again
No more pain

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over, and life is like a song
At last,the skies above are blue

I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill Id never known

Must I forgive you
Each time
And say you dont know what youre doing
There are no victimless crimes

Out here in these graffiti ruins

Oh and nothing can be done
Dont start
My heart
Is a smoking gun
Oh and nothing can be done
I heard you leaving

And the frogs and dogs and night birds then

Slammed hard
As bars

Mutt of the planet
And

For the keeper to release me

Biding my time
In memories
Of old friends of mine...
In daydreams of Birdland
I see my soul on fire
Burning up the bandstand

Although I speak in tongues
Of men and angels
Im just sounding brass
And tinkling cymbals without love
Love suffers long

And all the knowledge
And the faith to move the mountains
Even if I understood all of the mysteries

Down in the cellar in the Boho Zone

Just another hard time band with Negro affectations

Maybe once or twice a year
I think nothing would suit me better right now

Rises over Little Italy

Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune cant hold you tight

Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
How do you stop
Before its too late?

Comes love
Nothing can be done

And the white-washed hawks pedal hate and call it love

Dog eat dog
On prime time crime the victim begs
Money is the road to justice

Now theres only one day left to go
Till you walk by
Below my window
The weekends drive me mad
Holidays are oh too sad

And I took these two grey rooms up here
With a view
When you walk by
Below my window
You look so yout... |

In a decade full of dreams
And he takes her to a schooner

He has heard her off to starboard

Heart and humility

And I said, Constantly in the darkness

With your face sketched on it twice

Youve forgotten the words I love you

They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow... |
Its coming on Christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Well, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it dont snow here
Stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then Im going to quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Build your dreams
To the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Dont go to strangers
Lover come to me
Play with fire
Get your fingers burned
But when theres no place left to turn
Dont go to strangers
Lover come to me
You give the call to follow your heart
Youll follow your heart, I know
Ive been around
Im a... |
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, Constantly in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me, Ill be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, youre in my blood lik... |
Michael wakes you up with sweets
He takes you up streets and the rain comes down
Sidewalk markets locked up tight
And umbrellas bright on a grey background
Theres oil on the puddles in taffeta patterns
That run down the drain
In colored arrangements
That Michael will change with a stick that he found
Michael from mount... |

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
Twenty-five bucks just... |
Well, I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, tell me where are you going?
This he told me
Said, Im going down to Yasgurs farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to... |
The cats are in the flower bed
A red hawk rides the sky
I guess I should be happy
Just to be alive
But we have poisoned everything
And oblivious to it all
The cell phone zombies babble
Through the shopping malls
While condors fall from Indian skies
Whales beach and die in sand
Bad dreams are good
In the great plan

Nå går det mot jul
Treet står der som bestilt
De synger sanger om fred
Alt er av glanspapir og filt
Og jeg ønsker meg ei elv
Hvor jeg kan skyve fra
Og snøen kommer ikke hit
Alt er grønt og bart og kaldt
Om jeg tjente en haug med penger
Skulle jeg kjøpt oss ut av alt
Og jeg ønsker meg ei elv
Hvor jeg kan skyve fra
Og je... |
Study war no more
Lay down your arms
Study war no more
Lay em down lay em down now
Study war no more
Lay down your arms
Study war no more
Newsreels rattle the Nazi dread
The able-bodied have shipped away
Molly McGee gets her tea-leaves read
Youll be married in a month they say
These leaves are crazy!
Look at this town ... |
