Look at those dancers gliding around
Seems if their feet Don't hardly touch the ground Look at them smiling Like they knew one another And they never would come down Turn around and hold me I'd like to see your face alone I'm hoping there's someone home I'd like to meet you Who do you see? Introduce yourself to whichever of me is nearby Close behind your eyes you're laughing at me And I'm stuck here with no instructions that I can see To steer by Stick around it's tricky ground I'd like to see your face alone I'm hoping there's someone home Two or three people fading in and out Like a radio station that I'm thinking about But I can't hear Who gets breakfast? Who gets the lunch? Who gets to be the boss of this bunch? Who will steer? Turning, turning To see your face alone I'm hoping there's someone home Dream Do you dream Dreaming Do you? Dream Do you dream Dreaming Do you? In my dreams I can see, I can I can see a love That could be In my dreams I can see, I can I can see a love That could be Ba, ba, da, da ... ah, ah ... In my dreams I can see, I can I can see a love That could be In my dreams I can see, I can I can see a love That could be In my dreams I can see, I can I can see a love That could be In my dreams I can see, I can I can see a love |

How can I sweep these words into a cluster
Put 'em in a pile like feathers on your floor? Voyages and sea forests deep blue and rusty Sew 'em in a satchel 'n leave 'em at your door People's lives, people's whose lives They fascinate me All my life, all my life I've wanted to understand There's a man on the corner he's got the moon in his eyes He just comes here to visit and he wears a disguise And I wonder if he's looking for friends or for truth I think he's calling for some in that telephone booth And the smiling woman answers She defeats fear with her eyes She thinks life's fine so I think she's wise And my heart wants to give her a gift so grand That it will speak for me and tell her just where I stand And I stand on a pillar and it's melting like ice Of years that I've lived and some I've lived twice And I have all these feathers and leaves on my floor That I don't want just blowing around loose anymore And I feel a need to gather to rummage and fetch To shake out my life and give it a stretch To bring shells to the surface, give 'em to you Gifts from the sea floor rusty and blue Now these two lives hold my attention quite well You see lives almost never run parallel Like the boards in the flooring all deep grained and worn Fated and fitted long before we were born People's lives, people's whose lives They fascinate me All my life, all my life I've wanted to understand Understand |

It was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night The hero knew what he had to do And he wasn't afraid to fight The villain goes to jail While the hero goes free I wish it were that simple for me And the reason that she loved him Was the reason I loved him too And he never wondered What was right or wrong He just knew, he just knew Shadow and shape Mix together at dawn But by the time you catch them Simplicity's gone So we sort through the pieces My friends and I Searching through the darkness To find the breaks in the sky And the reason that she loved him Was the reason I loved him too And he never wondered What was right or wrong He just knew, he just knew And we wonder, yes, we wonder How do you make sense of this When the hero kills the maiden With his kiss, with his kiss Well, it was one of those great stories That you can't put down at night The hero knew what he had to do And he wasn't afraid to fight The villain goes to jail While the hero goes free I wish it were that simple for me Were that simple for me |

(Electric Guitar) What does it take to getcha To admit it? How much light 'til it shines on you? How much did she betcha You couldn't get it? What does it signify When it lands on you? They will tell you you're a loser They'll stone you in the street Makes you kinda wonder 'bout the people you meet, yeah Instrumental (Electric Guitar and Organ) There's a telegram they send ya To tell you that you won And that now your life is gonna Suddenly be fun It's a piece of empty paper It's a piece of empty pie It is a vision of delusion It will surely pass you by And I don't know what to tell ya I haven't got a clue I don't know why people do the things that they do, no, no, no Instrumental (Organ + Electric Guitar) What does it take to getcha As confused as me? And how much information Is gonna finally set you free? What does it take to getcha To admit it? How much light 'til it shines on you? How much light 'til it shines on you, yeah?

David Crosby
David Crosby: Vocal, Electric Guitar Jeff Pevar: Lead Electric Guitar James 'Hutch' Hutchinson: Bass Michael Finnigan: Keyboards Jody Cortez: Drums Instrumental (Electric Guitars) I used to walk around with my eyes on fire My nerves real close to my skin Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek And we would skate where the ice got thin And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on a hilltop Smoke blowin' down in the street Some kind of sweet smellin' mystical backdrop To the story unfolding at my feet There's an edge to the twist of an acrobat in the air There's an edge to the twist of a knife There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there Just around the corner from life And I, I have no answers I got no patented path to set you free Besides I wouldn't know where you wanted to go And it's probably not the same place as me Instrumental (Electric Guitar) There's a thousand roads up this mountain You can get lost in a minute if you try And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah Lookin' this close in your eye I said there was a thousand roads up this mountain You can get lost in a minute if you try It's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah Looking this close in your eye, in your eye In your eye Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitars) ⓒ 1992 Stay Straight Music (BMI) |

Me and my good partners
we were riding back to our camp we were feeling very fine and the air was clear and slightly damp and we were riding back to have ourselves a party to celebrate the robbing of the train. We were talking kind of low and lazy about not having to go out soon again you know we hadn't been back home two hours we heard a hawk cry out in the night and you know that's a signal from young Billy, who's our sentry He's saying something here ain't exactly right so we quick grabbed some of our hardware stumbled out of our home in two minutes flat we had found her an Indian girl all alone and Eli said, "Let's take her back to the cabin" I said, "You don't know she might be the law, yeah" He said, smiling kind of nasty, "It ain't too damn likely she'll beat me to the draw." As we were walking back through the darkness, I heard the Duke, he's our dynamiter, say, he said, "What's your name, sweet little Indian girl?" She said, "Raven." and she looked away. Right then I didn't trust her, no and I said so, oh no. Now, Eli, he's our fastest gunner He's kind of mean and young from the South he said, "Fat Albert, you're getting kind of old and weird now." "You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out." Now Eli and the Duke they got down to it they each wanted the Indian girl for their own but when they finally got around to asking her you know she said she'd come to take young Billy home Eli said he'd kill young Billy he'd kill the Duke, and probably me too, yeah The Indian girl said, "Go ahead now do it" I said "Stop it", and she bit my thumb nearly clean through and when they finally started to break down the door I smeared my face up with blood from my thumb I laid down on the floor and played real good possum You know I'm crazy but I ain't real dumb now I'm dying here in Albuquerque I must be the sorriest sight you ever saw you know the reason I'm the only man here to tell it you know that Indian girl, she wasn't an Indian she was the law (ⓒ Guerrilla Music/BMI) |

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day It's gettin' kind of long I could've said it was in my way But I didn't and I wonder why I feel like letting my freak flag fly Almost cut my hair It happened just the other day It's gettin' kind of long I could've said it was in my way But I didn't and I wonder why I feel like letting my freak flag fly And I feel like I owe it, ... someone Must be because I had the flu for Christmas And I'm not feeling up to par It increases my paranoia Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car Well I'm not giving in an inch to fear cause I've promised myself this year I feel like I owe it, ... someone When I finally get myself together I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather And I'm goin' to find a space inside to laugh, Separate the wheat from the chaff I feel ... Like I owe it, ... someone, yeah |

One, two (Yeah) ... One, two, three ...
Nash: If you smile at me I will understand 'cause that is something Everybody everywhere does in the same language, yeah Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side There's just one thing I would like to know Can you tell me please who won the war? Nash: Say can I have some of your purple berries? Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them For six or seven weeks now I haven't got sick once Crosby & Nash: Probably keep us all alive here we go Wooden ships on the water very free and easy Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline let us be Talkin' very free and easy Horror grips us as we watch you die All we can do is echo your anguished cries Stare as all your human feelings die We are leaving, you don't ... Go take your sister then by the hand (Lead her) Lead her out of this foreign land Far away where we might laugh again We are leaving, you don't need us You don't, you don't ...
