And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small

I was born in a bunk In the middle of Tobacco Road Mother died and my daddy got drunk Left me here to die or grow Grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a'hangin' on my back Only you know how I loathe But it's home This place called Tobacco Road The only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get a job
Save some money, get rich I know With the help and the grace from above
Bring Dynamite and a crane Bring it back to Tobacco Road Blow you up, start all over again Build a town be proud to show
The only life I've ever known Give the name Tobacco Road Cause it's home Oh I despise and disapprove you But I love ya, 'cause it's home

If you were a bird and you lived very high, knew even the wind as the breeze came by, say to the wind as it took you away, That's where I wanted to go today" And I do know that I need to have you around
Love like a mountain springtime, flashing through the rivers of my mind; it's what I feel for you.
You and me go walking south And we see all the world around us, The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you, And I do know that I need to have you around, And I do, I do know that I need to have you around.
I have a house where I can go When there's too many people around me; I can sit and watch all the people Down below goin' by me; Halfway down the stair is a stair Where I sit and think about you and me;
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' by Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die, When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there, You sail on water as blue as air, You'd see me here in the fields and say, "Doesn't the sky look green today?"
You once asked me what I wanted out of life Well, I guess its just the life time of laughter and smiles to be the Cinderella Man for a while but there's so man miles that I've got to go
You once asked me what I wanted out of life Well, I guess its just the quiet ride of a life when you love me just right with brightness so dazzling my head must turn
you know my head must turn
You once asked me what I wanted out of life Well, I guess its just that chance to sit and watch it all go by never have an answer and I'll never know why but at the end of it all will I be satisfied I dont know
I didn't know you were the one for me, I couldn't see But you were waiting, For someone to come along to help you out to sing your song, And I was changing; All I see is you; All I feel is you for me!
And I would really like to watch you ride; And always feel you by my side; I would really like to watch you ride All on me!
I go stumbling to the sky, and I seem to fly so high I see you, I feel you; You have a way of walking 'round your feet they never touch the ground, And you are shining; All I see is you; All I feel is you for me!
Times don't change; Times don't ever change for me; And I know that you could be the only thing in my world, The only thing that my mind would find; For love, for love and peace of mind, for me, for me; Oh
Your Shadow in the morning sun becomes my fun, and we can say, "I love you, love you" My morning shines on silver beaches, your light flashes to the reaches Of my mind, my mind, of My mind, and my mind it comes alive with you; It's all that I can do to sit here and let you blow my mind; Ah! My mind, You're so fine, in my mind you're so fine, in my mind you're so fine, You're so fine, in my mind, you're so fine in mind.
You want two heads on you body And you've got two mirrors in your hand. Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick and your nose is too small for this land. Inside your head is your town inside your room your jail inside your mouth the elephants trunk and booze, the only key to your bail
Coda: Want two heads on your body and you've got two mirrors in your hand
Two heads can be put together. And you can fill both your feet with sand. Noone will know you've gutted your mind but what will you do with your bloody hands? Your lions are fighting with chairs, your arms are incredibly fat; Your women are tired of dying alive if you've had any women at that.
Wearing your comb like an axe in your head List'ning for signs of life; Children are sucking on stone and lead And chasing their hoops with a knife; New breasts and jewels for the girl, Keep them polished and shining; Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life, For no child of mine. (Go to Coda)
You are the crown of creation. You are the crown of creation, And you've got no place to go.
Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for, In the only way that it's granted: In a place among the fossils of our time.
In loyalty to their kind They cannot tolerate our minds. In loyalty to our kind We cannot tolerate their obstruction!
Life is change. How it differs from the rocks. I've seen their ways too often for my liking. New worlds to gain. My life is to survive and be alive for you.
Lather was thirty years old today, They took away all of his toys. His mother sent newspaper clippings to him, About his old friends who'd stopped being boys. There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three, His leather chair waits at the bank. And Seargent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old, Commanding his very own tank. But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do, To lie about nude in the sand, Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps, And thrashing the air with his hands.
But wait, oh Lather's productive you know, He produces the finest of sound, Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose, Snorting the best licks in town, But that's all over...
Lather was thirty years old today, And Lather came foam from his tongue. He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said, Is it true that I'm no longer young? And the children call him famous, what the old men call insane, And sometimes he's so nameless, That he hardly knows which game to play... Which words to say... And I should have told him, "No, you're not old." And I should have let him go on...smiling...babywide.
Long time since I climbed down this mountain before Things I've seen here make me want to go running home
Lean close put your lips next to my face Look further on past the surface
Orange, blue, red & green Are the colors of what I feel And my mind y'know it starts to reel in time
To know your flesh layin' by my skin And I wonder whenever I'm in Warm, soft, nice & now Are the word things of what I know And my body y'know it's so in time
I see you at the same place that I play Ah darlin' tell me what can I say Dance, sing, sleep & dream Is the music of what I feel Among the many things whenever you're near in time
Come with me my friend Come on now and take my hand You can be my friend Soon be in another country
You & me we keep walkin' around & we see All the bulsht around us You try & keep your mind on what's going down Can't help but see the rhinocerous around us & you wonder what you can do & you do what you can To get bald & hi & you know I'm still goin' need you around You say it's healing but nobody's feeling it Somebody's dealing - somebody's stealing it You say you don't see & you don't You say you won't know & you won't let it come Everything someday will be gone except silence Earth will be quiet again Seas from clouds will wash off the ashed of violence Left as the memory of men There will be no survivor my friend Suddenly everyone will look surprised Stars spinning wheels in the skies Sun is scrambled in their eyes While the moon circles like a vulture Someone stood at a window & cried 'One tear I thought that should stop a war But someone is killing me' & that's the last hour to think anymore Jelly & juice & bubbles - bubbles on the floor Castles on the cliffs vanish Cliffs like heaps of rubbish Seen from the stars hour by hour As splintered scraps & black powder From here to heaven is a scar Dead center - deep as death All the idiots have left Epitaph The cows are almost cooing Turtle doves are mooing Which is why a poo is pooing In the sun Sun.
Do away with people blowing my mind Do away with people wasting my precious time Take me to a simple place Where I can easily see my face Baby, baby I can see that you're fine Know I love you baby, yes I do Know I love you baby, yes I do
Do away with people laughing at my hair Do away with people climbing on my precious prayers Take me to a circus tent Where I can easily pay my rent And all the other freaks can share my cares Know I love you baby, yes I do Know I love you baby, yes I do
Do away with things that come on obscene Like hot rods real clean real fine nicotine Sometimes the price is 65 dollars Prices like that make a grown man holler 'Specially when it's sold by a kid that's only 15 Know I love you baby, yes I do Know I love you baby, yes I do
(UPS) EARTH JULY 1975 Black sails knifing through the pitchblende night Away from the radioactive landmass madness From the silver-suited people searching out Uncontaminated food and shelter on the shores No glowing metal on our ship of wood only Free happy crazy people naked in the universe WE SPEAK EARTH TALK GO RIDE THE MUSIC
If you smile at me you know I will understand Cause that is something everybody everywhere does In the same language I can see by your coke my friend that you're from the other side There's just one thing I got to know Can you tell me please who won You must try some of my purple berries I been eating them for six or seven weeks now Haven't got sick once Probably keep us both alive Wooden ships on the water very free and easy Easy you know the way it's supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline leave us be Very free and easy Sail away where the mornin sun goes high Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly Take a sister by her hand Lead her far from this barren land Horror grips us as we watch you die All we can do is echo your anguished cry and Stare as all you human feelings die We are leaving You don't need us Go and take a sister by her hand Lead her far from this foreign land Somewhere where we might laugh again We are leaving You don't need us Sailing ships on the water very free and easy Easy you know the way it's supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline leave us be Very free And gone NO C'MON GO RIDE THE MUSIC C'MON RIDE IT CHILD

When I see you next time round in sorrow Will you know what I been going through My yesterdays have melted with my tomorrow And the present leaves me with no point of view When I see you next time round look into my eyes Where we'd be never could decide Borrowed moments they cannot fill the moments of our lives And wishful thinking leaves me no place to hide No place to hide No place to hide I see the shadows softly coming Taking me into a place Where they turn my life down Leaving mourning with myself And nothing to say
If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep One for Paul One for Silas One for to make my heart rejoice Can't you hear my lambs acallin Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep
Either go away or go all the way in Look at what you hold Come back down on a spear of silence When it flies You go on through You come on through Thr rediculous no Oh no One more pair of Loving eyes look down on you Sheets and a pillow How old will you have to be before you Stop your believing That those eyes will look down on you That way forever There you sit mouth wide open Animals nipping at your sides On wire wheels the four stroke man Opens wide The marching sound The constant ride On the gasket is mine All mine One more pair of Wire wheels bear down on you Gear stripping the willow How many machine men will you see before you Stop believing that speed Will slide down on you Like brakes in bad weather
In golden Hannibal Carthage days, marching on to Rome, Knocking on the door and finding nobody home there. Rome she cut our armies down and left them in the snow, So now I go to where I come from, Now I go home to the sun.
When the earth moves again, When the earth moves again my friend, Let the lady ride on through, When the earth moves again.
Egyptian kings they sing of gods and pyramids of stone, And they left the deserts clean, and they left the deserts golden, And shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road. (I do) Into the day and through the night, We go and find our way home.
When the earth moves again, My love to all the people I leave behind. Search out the new ground around you, When the earth moves again.
Your head can pull your body around 'n you can Leave whenever you can find the ground. Take what you find on the ground, Sea foam glass is sand.
If you've only lived on earth (If you haven't lived in heaven), you've never seen the sun, Or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here, And if you care to see the future, just look into the eyes Of your young, dancing children; Don't be afraid of our ways.
When the earth moves again, When the earth moves again, Watch the lady ride and sigh, When the earth moves again.
Moses, Moses, the Red Sea closes Over you when you least expect it to, When the earth moves again, When the earth moves again.

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time my old man's gun has never been fired but there's a first time & this could be this could be the first time
Law man you know you look to be a lot younger than me and I'd hate to shoot a baby you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow and it could be it could be a good time if you change your mind well I'm tired and sweet from making love and it's just too late you'll have to wait bring your business around here in the morning
well I've heard your line & you've heard mine & I'm just too tired to take a side bring your business around here in the morning Don't you want to be easy look there let some of the things you see go on by or you can burn them into your brain go on home Don't you see the children, they're just like you they want everything to be fine but they let it slide and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
Law breaker you know it could be me & if you had your way we'd all be down under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound & you can see now the old hands won't move around one way or the other, fool card brother this could be, this could be, the first time.
Gonna move out on the highway, make this moment last Til it closes with the future, blending with the past. Rollin' on and doin' fine, what do you think I see? That boney hand comes a beckonin', saying buddy come go with me.
That engine just ain't strong enough to get you round the turn Lie on your back in the middle of a field, and watch your body burn.
Don't try to tell me just who I am when you don't know yourself Spend half your time running out on the street With your mind home on a shelf. Lookin' at me with your eyes full of fire Like you'd rather be seein' me dead Lying on the floor with a hole in my face And a ten gauge shotgun at my head
You can leave me here, but I won't tell Things I know about you and know so well The way you smile at me, try to set me free And keep me wondering what the future will be
Rollin' on, won't be long I won't leave here til' I sing this song.
