I call ye cabin neighbors
I call you once my friends But I trust when you labor And put my head to rest But I was on the hatch I was on the avalanche And I had found my match I was on the floor I took a train from Virginia To Illinois, my home He said “I knew you had it in ya" A mind to make its own But I was on the hatch Riding on the avalanche I tried to take it back I was on the floor Come on, Stone! Come on, Star! Come on, Snow! Come on, Car! Come on, Hands! Come on, Feet! Come on, Face! Come on, Street! Come on, State! Come on, Song! Move it fast! (Take it up) Move it along! (The Ohio River) Come on, Life! (Take it up) Come on, Lord! (Take it over) Make it right! (To the Mississippi) Make it Yours! |

The human race, in its place Superstition man's religion And conditioned mysteries incomplete And the raven with its haven Gods-in-graven Girls and boys Illinois Springfield with its freak and banter Strike the cantor God is dead, God is dead Oh my God I can't believe it What went wrong? The human race, in its place In religion, superstition Man's conditoined mysteries incomplete (Superman, Old machines Kind as that, Energenes Good as dead, Man-Machines Computer, effigy Sound the horn, make the bed Pull the cord, raise the dead In my car, on this street On this earth, on this feet) Take it for a patient man I caught it Patient is the kind that gets you paid Even if I had, man, I got it Seems I never had it anyway Sometimes it may seem your best intentions Take off with a fever anyway 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All computers go to heaven If you think you got the vision, Put it in the conversation 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All computers go to heaven If you think you got the vision, Put it in the conversation I rejoice in what I carry in my heart it overwelms what a man Great Emancipation plans, and public transport, clap your hands, Abraham Oh religion, superstition, Man's conditioned mysteries incomplete Oh the Raven with its haven Gods-in-graven All is dead, all is dead |

Oh life, with your shoulders in the mirror
From the park when Dakota ran and brought you there In the car when your mother lost her temper The catalog and the catastrophic smile Let the bugles play the sermon on the raid I kissed you on the face I kissed you on the playground Oh Father John, you cannot tell me What's right and wrong You cannot tell me I jump before I get around you Oh Father John Pick it up with the band on the Ronald Reagan Tollway (Don't give up, let's go forget about yourself) Illinois in it ran from the Ronald Reagan Tollway Forget about yourself and all your plans Oh life, with your colorful surprises Eleanor, how you put one on disguises Oh Father John, you cannot tell me What's right and wrong You cannot tell me In the mortal life Far in the morning light We're back from Bloomington We let the runners win Far in the morning light We let the movies play A weekend from the holiday Pick it up with the band On the Ronald Reagan toll way (Don't break down, let's go: forget about yourself) Illinois in it ran from the Ronald Reagan toll way (If I'm wrong makes nothing right about yourself) Snowmobile on the field where the gunners throw their weight around Forget about yourself and all your plans |

Oh, stop thinking of tomorrow
Don't stop thinking of today You're not getting any younger You've got nothing to explain You've got resolutions Fastening in your wake Take instead the high tide At the man-made lake It may take a while It may take all day All the implications At the man-made lake Oh stop thinking of tomorrow... |

I don't care to say what
I failed to recognize Every single day from the poker to the prize Running out of Springfield I worked for the Capitol Air, in the bags Found a woman there who said she had a mind to make me a messenger man If my father took his life for the national plan, I don't care I'm not about to stick my grave with an apron and a bucket of plans, never ever I can take the pillow cases off the yellow pillows, make a property line from the bed In the living room, the living room, the morning papers made the most out of nothing at all So we took the room with a view of the runaway I took off my clothes, and she took it for a holiday I was taken for all the things that I never had before Running out of Springfield she left me with a note saying: "Bobby, don't look back." And if my wife took a bicycle ride with a knife in her hand I saw it coming All the shad-flies run at once with a trumpet or a train, oh I'm running from it Wait a minute, wait a minute, Give a minute, lady I can explain the aftershave Wait a minute, wait a minute, give a minute Bobby got a shad fly caught in his hair |

And the winter moves about Illinois
When my sister picks a fight With the Alexander boy And my father locks the car by the store Still we figure out the keys And follow him once more Oh my God, we see it on the floor The woman on the bed The ankle brace she wore Stones and sled It could have been some other The mind that knows itself Has a mind to serve the other But we run back, scratching at the door Scratching at the door If I'm hiding in the sleeves of my coat When my father runs undressed He's pointing at my throat And my brother has fit in the snow And the traffic stops for miles We take him by the elbow Oh my God, the shuffling and the floor A mind that knows itself Is a mind that knows much more So we run back, scrambling for cover The mind that knows itself Has a mind to kill the other (Oh my God, no one came to our side To carry us away from danger) Oh my God He left us now for dead He left us now for dead |

Up in the highest of heights
O'Hara blinks and fights This land is yours; this land is mine. I see the Captain in red, and Cairo at his head. This land is yours; this land is mine. The lightning over the park, the waters--brash and dark We take a swim; we take a swim. I never meant to escape the carpet and the trade This land is yours; this land is mine. And when I make up my mind I change it all the time I take it back; I take it back. The numbers over the dam, Jo Davies and the band, I count them out; I count them out. There was a car in the bay by the boat that swept and swayed Whoever you are in the light in the water that we made I'm counting it out I'm counting it out I'm working it out inside I'm counting it out to the floor The ferry hatches Moline Panola Beauty Queen She takes a bow; she takes a bow. In Charles, we climb the hill and Danville window sill I take it back; I take it back. My sister she counts the bars, the Macon county cars, She takes a bow; she takes a bow. The Mississippi amends the Carver and the bends This land is yours; this land is mine. My brother punches my ear. The injured ivory deer I call my dad; I call my dad. We skip inside of the store the Mason winter door This land is yours; this land is mine. There was a car in the bay by the boat that swept and swayed Whoever you are in the light in the water that we made I'm holding your hand by the shore With our collars pulled up tight I'm counting it out I'm counting it out I'm working it out inside I'm counting it out (This land is not your land For the right hand takes what it can, ransacks with the mad man. For this land is not yours or mine to have. This land was made for the good of itself.) |

All things past in the pick-up
Found my brother's badge Abraham is live and well in the pick-up And his wife casts no more spells In the pick-up Found myself in the pick-up Seatbelt on my lap And my sister with her braids In the pick-up Kissed my mother on the face In the pick-up Clapping with the human race In the pick-up |

I'm not afraid of you now, I know
So I climbed down from the bunk beds this low I can talk back to you now, I know From a few things I learned from this TV show You can work late till midnight, we don't care We can fix our own meals, we can wash our own hair I go to school before sunrise, in the cold And I pulled the alarm, and I kicked up the salad bowls Since the time we meant to say much Unsaid things begin to take their toll After school we shoveled through the snow Drive upstate in silence in the cold You can remind me of it That I was lazy and tired You can work all your life as I'm not afraid of you anymore If I loved you a long time, I don't know If I can't recall the last time you told me so Here in this house in Pittsfield The ghost of our grandmother works at the sewing machine post Hiding the bills in the kitchen on the floor And my sister lost her best friend in the Persian Gulf War There was a flood in the bathroom last May And you kicked at the pipes when it rattled oh the river it made Stand there, tell me that I'm of no use Things unspoken break us if we share There's still time to wash the kitchen floor On your knees, at the sink once more You can remind me that I was tired You can work late and give yourself up Now that I'm older, wiser, and working less I don't regret having left the place a mess You can remind me that I was lazy and tired You can recall your life as I'm not afraid of you, anymore Anymore |
