Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen They all fit together In the same machine Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice So many people in the same device Oh a whirling dervish And a dancing bear Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire Or a teenage rocker Or the girls in France Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice So many people in the same device I wanted all things to make sense So we'd be happy instead of tense Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen They all fit together In the same machine Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice So many people in the same device So many people in the same device |

Hurry up, get along, be on your way
And make sure that your certain it's not the wrong day Punctual people are lost in their plight To become unprecedented when they arrive Why am I searching and when will I know? Are the years that I've waited with nothing to show? I'm ready to listen I'm ready to win But I can't wait much longer before we begin Time waits for no one Time waits for no one, no one, no one There's time to conceive in and time to expire Though the time 'twixt the two tells the tale that transpires So why must we continually disturb the universe With decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse? So people don't worry 'bout where you've gone wrong 'Cause you know if you hurry it takes twice as long Relax and forget about what's to be done It's time to have fun Time waits for no one Time waits for no one It really doesn't matter much to me I know the best times are timeless, you'll see... |

Well I keep holdin' on to yesterday
I keep holdin' on enough to say That I'm wrong I keep thinkin' that I'm lonely But it's only missing you inside Days that we were once together Seems they'll never come alive So I keep holdin' on to yesterday I keep holdin' on enough to say That it's wrong Lord I don't know when I'll see you I can't reach you anymore If I'd only known I'd need you Then I'd keep you like before I keep holdin' on to yesterday I keep holdin' on enough to say That I'm wrong, wrong, wrong To keep holdin' on My yesterdays have all gone by |

I've never been a thief, but I won't say I'll never steal I've never been a star, but that doesn't mean I don't appeal I always read the Bible, but too seldom do I kneel Well I disregard the writing and I play just what I feel So what do I care? Why should I care? All I really want is something more than you can order From a telephone, if they call I'm not at home So write it off as another loss And let the world leave me alone Let the world leave me alone I've been a truthful man, but I won't say I've never lied I've always had a plan, but somehow it never was applied Never got my share of lovin', I've always been denied I ain't greedy, but I aim to take what rightfully is mine All I really want is something that I do not have to share Hide it under lock and key so they'll never see Or they'll never know And let someone else be responsible And let the world leave me alone People try to tell me I'm a dreamer Wastin'everybody else's time Movin' all around I'm just a schemer Gettin' into everybody's way Let the world leave me alone Let the world leave me alone Let the world leave me alone World leave me alone |

Pale to the mountains my existence seems Sad as the cry of my unanswered dreams Long have I waited for time to make clear All of the reasons that I must be here But I won't care If you are there Make us all aware Drawn by the river we watch as it flows Wanting to taste of the wisdom it holds Knowing that somewhere our fortunes we'll find But fortunes are something we hold in our minds We could share All that's there Make us all aware Seeking an answer yet harboring fear That the day that it comes I'll no longer be here But I won't care If you are there I won't care Make us all Oh, I won't care Make us all aware |

The clock gets to be such a bore What'cha livin' for Though I can't explain, being sane's Just a dreary chore I'd like to go fly past mountains See Mama Frog at her fountain She'll be there in her golden frog Sequined uniform Golden chair, three trained human clowns Who will soon perform Balancing books with their heads Trying to recall what they've said Past the gate you will soon be in A garden paradise Don't be late there, the shining jewels Sparkle in your eyes All waiting there for your pleasure What's keeping you from this treasure? Narration of "Jabberwock" from "Alice In Wonderland" 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch ?Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumlous Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought ?So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble In the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe The clock gets to be such a bore What'cha livin' for Though I can't explain, being sane's Just a dreary chore I'd like to go fly past mountains See Mama Frog at her fountain |

Someone talks about a road At the end find life's gold I went out to get a drink of water But I saw an ocean far away I thought of how much beyond awaits me Foolishly I turned my head the other way Do you like where you're livin' at? I'm not happy inside You could build a golden house Yeah but still I'm sad inside I set out on a long and lonely journey And travelled through some strange and distant lands And many times I thought I'd found life's meaning But it slipped away like water in the sand Do you like where you're livin' at? I'm not happy inside You could build a golden house And still I'm sad inside One summer storm, I'm waitin' for the sun One summer storm, I've waited so long Waited so long Yeahhhhhhhh! In our lives, we've all drank of the water Heard the ocean callin' out our names Some will seek and find their life's meaning And some will turn their heads the other way... |
