I don't know what the world may need
But I'm sure as hell that is starts with me And that's a wisdom I've laughed at I don't know what the world may want But a good stiff drink it surely don't So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one Cause, what the world needs now Is a new kind of tension Cause the old one just bores me to death Cause, what the world needs now Is another folk singer Like I need a hole in my head I don't know what the world may need But a V8 engine is a good start for me Think I'll drive to find a place To be surly I don't know what the world may want But some words of wisdom could comfort us Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser Cause, what the world needs now Are some true words of wisdom Like La La La La La La La La La Cause, what the world needs now Is another folk singer Like I need a hole in my head I don't know what the world may need And I never grasped your complexities I'd be happy just to get your attention And, I don't know what the world may want But your long, sweet body lying next To mine could certainly raise my spirits Cause what the world needs now Is a new Frank Sinatra So I can get you in bed What the world needs now Is another folk singer Like I need a hole in my head What the world needs now What the world needs now Is another folk singer Like I need a hole in my head What the world needs now What the world needs now Is a new Frank Sinatra So I can get you in bed What the world needs now What the world needs now Is another folk singer Like I need a hole in my head What the world needs now What the world needs now Is another folk singer Like I need a hole in my head |

To get to you someday Cause I am so afraid I'd fall Can't you hear me call Chorus Shake some action is what I need To make me bust out at full speed and I am sure that's all you'll need to make it alright It's take me so long to get to where I belong Lord don't make me send it back that way Or I will make you pay Chorus You don't dig what I'm playing Then I will go away And I will turn around this little game Cause I don't need your praise |

Cigarette and carrot juice
And get yourself a new tattoo for those sleeveless days of June I'm sitting on the Cafe Xeno's steps with a book I haven't started yet watching all the girls walk by Could I take you out I'll be yours without a doubt on that big dipper And if the sound of this it frightens you we could play it real cool and act somewhat indifferent And hey June why did you have to come, why did you have to come around so soon I wasn't ready for all this nature The terrible green green grass, and violent blooms of flowered dresses and afternoons that make me sleepy But we could wait awhile before we push that dull turnstile into the passage The thousands they had tread and others sometimes fled before their turn came ... And we could wait our lives before a chance arrives before the passage From the top you can see Monterey or think about San Jose though I know it`s not that pleasant And hey Jim Kerouac brother of the famous Jack or so he likes to say "lucky bastard" He's sitting on the cafe Xeno's steps with a girl I'm not over yet watching all the world go by Boy you are looking bad Did I make you feel that sad I'm honestly flattered But if she asks me out I'll be hers without a doubt on that big dipper Cigarettes and carrot juice and get yourself a new tattoo for those sleeveless days of June I'm sitting on the cafe Xeno's steps I haven't got the courage yet, I haven't got the courage yet, I haven't got the courage yet |

So we were standing, like the last rock band on the planet
Of vapor trails and alpine skies It's all green fields, yellow flowers, and brown liquor Oh brown liquor Bug's got a job in the Catskills Met some fraulein along the way Took her home, but then she had an episode Though it did disturb him, he was strangely compelled Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing So we were standing around, fading in and out of fashion While Amerikids dug Eurobeats Well we know all of the doormen and other bartendresses And there ain't nothing that you got that we don't need Did I say that right? Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing |

Well is it such a sin to linger with the magazines
I want a chocolate bar or maybe something sweet I want a stranger with your face So I followed her to this place It's been so long I've been around the world I say hello to howie Say hello to spike 'cause the canals in camden are filled with bottles tonight To watch the ripples fade away To feel the rain upon my head So I could say, I've been around the world And how I wish I was in your apartment tonight To hear the rain come down, down upon your roof To see your clothes beside, clothes beside your bed To lie and listen to your breath Instead, I've been, I've been around the world And how I wish I was in your bed tonight To taste the salt upon, salt upon your neck To feel your body press, pressing down on me Instead of being, I've been around the world Yeah I've been around, I've been around the world Yeah I've been around, I've been around the world |

I left my baby,
I left her down in hollywood cemetary Weren't a cloud in the sky, but how I wish it was raining well I know it was wrong to feel love like a burden but if we all were angels heaven would be earth so I left my baby, I left her down in hollywood cemetary. She got her petees? and coffee, while the band plays a funeral dirge In new orleans mardi gras, but I'm sick as a dog, here in texas When the one that you love's in the arms of another man You've got to rise above it, and let her go Leave your baby down, leave her down at hollywood cemetary |

There's no happy everafter
here we're just trying to survive. Whole lotta trouble, baby. Whole lotta trouble, baby. Whole lotta trouble, in this life. Work and you could have your money, but that don't guarantee you're right. Whole lotta trouble, baby. Whole lotta trouble, baby. Whole lotta trouble, in this life. And the morning sun comes up. And the evening sun goes down. You think that I could make a life when everything keeps dying in this cold dark town. Some folks just think you're starting over. They take a lifetime to decide. Whole lotta trouble, baby. Whole lotta trouble, baby. Whole lotta trouble, in this life. |

Now I, I want out of the circus
Since the girl in the blue sparkly dress On one knee, I confessed Put an end to that exchange of glances Now I, I want out of the circus That old gang of dwarves Sometimes, they're downright feral When they, they've been around that old beer barrel The old lion's teeth Seems like a smile to me With some sweet relief I just stick my head in Now my tale, it's too ordinary For anyone to care at all Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning When he bears his scars, we all know When he bears his scars, he's a star |

You can place your faith
in God my friend, but no one knows his plan. You can place your faith in your brother, but he may fail you. So I am waiting for that Sunday Train. Place my faith in southern line. She may not be on time but she will come. She once was a proud one. Stretched from sea to shinning sea. She may not take you everywhere you want to go. But where you need to be she'll agree. So rest you'll weary legs, they carried you all this way. And climb aboard that Sunday train when she comes. When god banished Lilith from the garden, he gave us Eve he gave us steam. So trains climb up every mountain but never have they or set me free. So if your heart is weary and soul is like mine. Climb aboard that Sunday train when she comes. |
