I don't know what it is
but you got to do it I don't know where to go But you got to be there I don't know where to fall But I know that its comfortable where I don't know where it is Putting all of my time In learning to care And a bucket of rhymes I threw up somewhere Want a locket of who Made me lose my perfunctory view Of all that is around And of all that I do So I knock on the door Take a step that is new Never been here before Is there anyone else here too In love with beauty Playing all of the games Who thinks three's company Is there anyone else who wears slightly mysterious brusies I don't know what it is Take a lookin around At friendly faces All declaring a war on far off places Is there anyone else who is through with complaining about what's Done unto us So I knock on the door And I am on the train Going god knows where to To get me over To get me over Give me heaven or hell Calais or Dover I was hoping the train Was my big number Stopping in Santa Fe and the Atchinson Topeka Though I'm chugging along, put away by the crossing hand We'll be heading for Portland, or Limburgh or Lower Manhattan Find myself running around I don't know what it is so get me over I don't know what it is so get me over I don't know what it is so get me over To get me over You gotta do it You gotta be there |

Thought that maybe we'd fall in love over the phone
Thought that maybe I'd really love being alone Everybody but Heaven knows how I was wrong Oh Lord, what have I done to myself? What have I done to myself? In this vicious world Such a vicious world There isn't anything you can do In this vicious world Soaking on the ice, makin' eyes all by myself Didn't realize you were so top of the shelf Just you want and see when you turn, turn 23 Oh Lord, what have I done to myself? What have I done to myself? In this vicious world Such a vicious world There isn't anything you can do In this vicious world Such a vicious world There isn't anything you can do In this vicious world There isn't anything you can do In this vicious world |

Stop me falling down, stop me making movies of myself Put that old dog down, stop me making movies of myself Bring the carriage 'round, get me to the garden of sleep Make that high gate speak, Perrier out of a paper bag Looking like a hag And start giving me something A love that is longer than a day Start making my heart sing something that it doesn't want to say I'm handing it over, I'm saying that you're the only one Don't run for the border, turn that corner Already you've run in movies of myself Darling don't you ever let go Wrap your loving arms around me While the cold winds blow Tell me what I really want to know Cause I'm looking for a reason, a person, a painting A Saturday Evening Post Edition by Jesus An old piece of bacon never eaten by Elvis So I'll say start giving me something A love that is longer then a day Start making my heart say something it doesn't want to say I'm handing it over, I'm singing that you're the only one Don't run for the border, turn that corner In movies on myself Oh I've seen it all before in movies of myself |

Pretty things, so what if I like pretty things Pretty lies, so what if I like pretty lies From where you are, to where I am now I need these pretty things, around the planets of our phase Everything's a sign of my astrology From where you are, to where I am now Is its own galaxy Be a star and fall down somewhere next to me And make it past your color TV This time will pass and with it will me And all these pretty things Don't say you don't notice them |

Thank you for this bitter knowledge Guardian angels who left me stranded It was worth it, feeling abandoned Makes one hardened but what has happened to love You got me writing lyrics on postcards Then in the evening looking at the stars But the brightest of the planets is Mars Then what has happened to love So I will opt for the big white limo Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow Your heaven's inventions, steel eyed vampires of love You see over me, I'll never know What you have shown to other eyes Go or go ahead and surprise me Say you've lead the way to a mirage Go or go ahead and just try me Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers Fell of the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows But of Medusa kiss me and crucify This unholy notion of the mythic power of love Look in her eyes, look in her eyes Forget about the ones that are crying Look in her eyes, look in her eyes Forget about the ones that are crying Go or go ahead |

You've got my lost brother's soul My dear mother's eyes A brown horse's mane And my uncle's name You walked me down 14th Street For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave In the home of the brave and of the weak But why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it? Why'd you have to break all my heart? Couldn't you have saved a minor part? I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden Damn you guess I'll have to get a new one I'd love to sit and watch you drink With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke Vaguely missing link Don't ever change you hungry little bashful hound I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep Has lost and filed for grounds. But why'd you have to break all my heart I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver Don't ever change, don't ever worry Because I'm coming back home tomorrow To 14th Street where I won't hurry And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow And they'll be rainbows and we will finally know |

You walk alone in the valley of life In the shadow of love under the trees of happiness You walk alone like a baby unborn Like a father unknown Like a pocket penniless I'm happy that you really care But do you really know How scary This is for you and is for me? Oh do you you really know? Do you really know? oh.. Natasha All I can do Is write a song for you Natasha Oh Natasha For you I sit alone on the cozy ground floor On a bench by the garden Waiting also Waiting for love and thinking of all of the Catty remarks I also swallow And as I've often asked before Does anybody know How scary This is for you and is for me? Does anybody know? Anybody know? oh... Natasha All I can do Is write a song for you Natasha Oh Natasha All I can do Is write a song for you Natasha |

If a person should ever like a person Then a person should like you Being that I'm only just a person What would you do? If a person should ever like a person Then a person should like me Being that you're only just a person It must be Still I find it hard to get an answer From the harvester of hearts Always find it hard to get an answer From the harvester of hearts If a person should ever like a person How funny that would be If a person should ever like me Not that I have that much to offer God knows I have so much to gain From the harvester of hearts From the harvester of pain If a person should ever like a person Then a person should be free Free to like whomever that they want to Even though it ain't me Not that I have much to offer God knows I have so much to gain From the harvester of hearts From the harvester of pain |

When I am older than these small goddamned hills
And there's no reason for my mind to be still Oh how I'll feel like a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again When I have finally found my room filled with toys Be banging on my crib excited by noise Oh how I'll feel like a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again And when there's nothing to gain Or bring me pain or pin the blame On you or myself And when they finally fall These wailing walls and burdened crosses God's twilights and all How I'll feel like a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again |

I don't want to make it rain I just want to make it simple I don't want to see the light I just want to see the flashlight I don't want to know the answers To any of your questions I don't want, no I really don't want To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen I just want to be my Dad With a slight sprinkling of my mother And work at the family store And take orders from the counter I don't want to know the answers To any of your questions I don't want, no I really don't want To be John Lithgow or Jane Curtain But I'll settle for love Yeah, I'll settle for love Before I reached the gate I realized I had packed my passport Before security realized I had one more bag left I just want to know If something's coming for to get me Tell me, will you make me sad or happy And will you settle for love Will you settle for love |

No matter how strong I'm gonna take you down With one little stone I'm gonna break you down And see what you're worth What you're really worth to me Dinner at eight was okay Before the toast full of gleams It was great until those old magazines Got us started up again Actually it was probably me again Why is it so That I've always been the one who must go That I've always been the one told to flee When it fact you were the one long ago Actually in the drifting white snow You left me So put up your fists and I'll put up mine No running away from the scene of the crime God's chosen a place Somewhere near the end of the world Somewhere near the end of our lives But 'til then no, Daddy, don't be surprised If I wanna see the tears in your eyes Then I know it had to be long ago Actually in the drifting white snow You loved me No matter how strong I'm gonna take you down With one little stone I'm gonna break you down And see what you're worth What you're really worth to me |
