Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. It's so noisy at the fair But all your friends are there And the candy floss you had And your mother and your dad. Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. There's a girl just down the aisle, Oh, to turn and see her smile. You can hear the words she wrote As you read the hidden note. Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. Now you're underneath the stairs And you're givin' back some glares To the people who you met And it's your first cigarette. Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. Now you say you're leavin' home 'Cause you want to be alone. Ain't it funny how you feel When you're findin' out it's real? Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain with the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. |

I am a child, I'll last a while. You can't conceive of the pleasure in my smile. You hold my hand, rough up my hair, It's lots of fun to have you there. God gave to you, now, you give to me, I'd like to know what you learned. The sky is blue and so is the sea. What is the color, when black is burned? What is the color? You are a man, you understand. You pick me up and you lay me down again. You make the rules, you say what's fair, It's lots of fun to have you there. God gave to you, now, you give to me, I'd like to know what you learned. The sky is blue and so is the sea. What is the color, when black is burned? What is the color? I am a child, I'll last a while. You can't conceive of the pleasure in my smile. |

Comes a time when you're driftin' Comes a time when you settle down Comes a light feelin's liftin' Lift that baby right up off the ground. Oh, this old world keeps spinning round It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down There comes a time. You and I we were captured We took our souls and we flew away We were right we were giving That's how we kept what we gave away. Oh, this old world keeps spinning round It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down There comes a time. |

well I dreamed I saw
the knights in armore coming saying something about a queen there were peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree there was a fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies look at mother nuture on the run in the nineteen seaventies I was lying in a burned out basement with the full moon in my eye I was hoping for replacement when the sun burst through the sky there was band playing in my head and I felt like getting high I was thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie well dreamed I saw the silver spaceships lying in the yellow haze of the sun there were children crying and colors flying all around the chosen ones all in a dream all in a dream the loading had begun flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home |

My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay It's better to burn out Than to fade away My my, hey hey. Out of the blue and into the black They give you this, but you pay for that And once you're gone, you can never come back When you're out of the blue and into the black. The king is gone but he's not forgotten This is the story of a Johnny Rotten It's better to burn out than it is to rust The king is gone but he's not forgotten. Hey hey, my my Rock and roll can never die There's more to the picture Than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my. |

When you dance, Do your senses tingle? Then take a chance? In a trance, While the lonely mingle With circumstance? I've got something to tell you, you make it show. Let me come over, I know you know When you dance I can really love. I can love, I can really love, I can really love I can love, I can really love, I can really love Like a mountain that's growing a river that rolls Let me come over, I know you know When you dance I can really love. When you dance, Do your senses tingle? Then take a chance? In a trance, While the lonely mingle With circumstance? I've got something to tell you, you make it show. Let me come over, I know you know When you dance I can really love. |

He's a perfect stranger,
Like a cross of himself and a fox. He's a feeling arranger And a changer of the ways he talks. He's the unforeseen danger The keeper of the key to the locks. Know when you see him, Nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, It's the loner. If you see him in the subway, He'll be down at the end of the car. Watching you move Until he knows he knows who you are. When you get off at your station alone, He'll know that you are. Know when you see him, Nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, It's the loner. There was a woman he knew About a year or so ago. She had something that he needed And he pleaded with her not to go. On the day that she left, He died, but it did not show. Know when you see him, Nothing can free him. Step aside, open wide, It's the loner. |

I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done. I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done. I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk-blood to keep from running out. I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun. |

It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are. It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far. So if you look in my direction And we don't see eye to eye, My heart needs protection And so do I. It's gonna take a lotta love To get us thru the night. It's gonna take a lotta love To make things work out right. So if you are out there waitin' I hope you show up soon, 'Cause my heart needs relatin' Not solitude. Gotta lotta love Gotta lotta love. It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are. It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far. It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are. It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far |

Last night I was cool at the pool hall Held the table for eleven games Nothing was easier than the first seven I beat a woman with varicose veins. She stopped to see herself in the mirror Fix her hair and hide heir veins And she lost the game. Next day I went to the dentist He pulled some teeth and I lost some blood We'd like to thank you for the cards you sent us My wives and I were all choked up. I recall how Caesar and Cleo Made love in the Milky Way They needed boats and armies to get there I know there's a better way. I saw the movie and I read the book But when it happened to me I sure was glad I had what it took To get away. Gotta get away, gotta get away Gotta get away, gotta get away I'm making another delivery Of chemicals and sacred roots I'll hold what you have to give me But I'll use what I have to use. The lasers are in the lab The old man is dressed in white clothes Everybody says he's mad No one knows the things that he knows. No one knows, no one knows No one knows, no one knows I'm sleepin' in every hallway I just can't accept the stares I'm using too many covers I'm warm now so I don't care. I'm thinkin' of no one in my mind Sedan delivery is a job I know I'll keep It sure was hard to find. Hard to find. hard to find Hard to find. hard to find |

Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John, 'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun And it's makin' big waves. Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou So the Powers That Be left me here to do the thinkin' And I just turned twenty-two I was wonderin' what to do And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew. Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin' He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin' But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin' Raised my rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why. Then I saw black, And my face splashed in the sky. Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger Think of me as one you'd never figured Would fade away so young With so much left undone Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her. |

He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world In that palace in the sun. On the shore lay Montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones. They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today. And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I still can't remember when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer. |

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream. You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. |

Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van A sparkle was in his eye But his life was in his hands Well, late at night When the people were gone He used to pick up my guitar And sing a song in a shaky voice That was real as the day was long Tonight's the night (yes it is) Tonight's the night Tonight's the night (yes it is) Tonight's the night Early in the morning at the break of day He used to sleep until the afternoon If you never heard him sing I guess you'll want to soon 'Cause people let me tell you It sent a chill up and down my spine When I pick up the telephone And heard that he'd died Out on the mainline.
