Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more Don't leave no message 'round her back door. They say the old laughing lady been here before She don't keep time, she don't count score. You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall. You got to move there's no time left to stall. They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all. See the drunkard of the village falling on the street. Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet. He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet. But his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep. There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night. There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right. |

Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin' I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on. I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her Any girl in the world could have easily known me better She said, You're strange, but don't change, and I let her. In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster? Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her? |

You know I lose, you know I win
You know I call for the shape I'm in. It's just a game you see me play, Only real in the way That I feel from day to day. Although the answer is not unknown, I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown. It's not all right to say goodbye, And the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. No, the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. It's only real in the way That I feel from day to day. No, the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. |

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night Paddles cut the water In a long and hurried flight From the white man to the fields of green And the homeland we've never seen. They killed us in our tepee And they cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the firesticks and the wagons come And the night falls on the setting sun. They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little box at the top of the stairs With my Indian rug and a pipe to share. I wish a was a trapper I would give thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas And find out how she felt In the mornin' on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen. And maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire And the Astrodome and the first tepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Pocahontas. |

You can say the soul is gone
And the feeling is just not there Not like it was so long ago. On the empty page before you You can fill in what you care Try to make it new before you go. Take the simple case of the serge Who can't go back to war 'Cause the hippies tore down everything that he was fighting for. Or the lovers on the blankets That the city turned to whores With memories of green kissed by the sun. You can say the soul is gone And close another door Just be sure that yours is not the one. And I'm singing for the stringman Who lately lost his wife There is no dearer friend of mine That I know in this life. On his shoulder rests a violin For his head where chaos reigns But his heart can't find a simple way To live with all those things. All those things He's a stringman A stringman All those strings to pull |

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. |

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. |

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us Helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door, Baby, sing with me somehow. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us Helpless, helpless, helpless. |

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away. But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon. When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart. But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eye. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon. |

She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer I used to order just to watch her float across the floor She grew up in a small town Never put her roots down Daddy always kept movin', so she did too. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes. You know it ain't easy You got to hold on She was an unknown legend in her time Now she's dressin' two kids Lookin' for a magic kiss She gets the far-away look in her eyes. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes. |

There's a lot to learn
For wastin' time There's a heart that burns There's an open mind. Look out for my love, look out for my love Look out for my love, look out for my love You own it You own it now You own it. There's a weight on you But you can't feel it Livin' like I do It's hard for you to see it. Was I hurt too bad Can I show you daylight How could I be sad When I know that you might. Look out for my love, look out for my love Look out for my love, look out for my love. Look out for my love It's in your neighborhood I know things are gonna change But I can't say bad or good. Silver wings of mornin' Shinin' in the gray day While the ice is formin' On a lonely runway. Hydraulic wipers pumpin' 'Til the window glistens Somethin' sayin' somethin' No one seems to listen. Men with walkie-talkies Men with flashlights wavin' Up upon the tower Time reads daylight savings. I'm home again to you babe You know it makes me wonder Sittin' in the quiet slipstream In the thunder. Look out for my love, look out for my love Look out for my love, look out for my love. |

We've been through some things together
With trunks of memories still to come We found things to do in stormy weather Long may you run. Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come With your chrome heart shining in the sun Long may you run. Well, it was back in Blind River in 1962 When I last saw you alive But we missed that shift on the long decline Long may you run. Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come With your chrome heart shining in the sun Long may you run. Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now With those waves singing "Caroline No" Rollin' down that empty ocean road Gettin' to the surf on time. Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come With your chrome heart shining in the sun Long may you run. |

From Hank to Hendrix
I walked these streets with you Here I am with this old guitar Doin' what I do. I always expected That you should see me through I never believed in much But I believed in you. Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? From Marilyn to Madonna I always loved your smile Now we're headed for the big divorce California-style. I found myself singin' Like a long-lost friend The same thing that makes you live Can kill you in the end. Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? Sometime it's distorted Not clear to you Sometimes the beauty of love Just comes ringin' through. New glass in the window New leaf on the tree New distance between us You and me. Can we get it together Can we still walk side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? |
