Well you know that I'm not a gambler But I'm being gambled on They put in a nickel and I sing a little song Da-da-da-da They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Well, I don't mind that they're lucky But it seems that they always win And gamblin' is illegal in the state of mind I'm in And if I had a nickel for each time that I've been put on I would be their nickel man And I'd sing a little song
They're only putting in a nickel and They want a dollar song They're only putting in a little to Get rid of a lot that's Wrong.
Well I don't know so many things But I know what's been goin' on We're only putting in a little To get rid of a lot that's wrong And if we had a nickel for each time that We've been put on We'd all be their nickel man And we'd sing a nickel song
You know they're only putting in a nickel And they win a dollar song Oh, yeah, they're only putting in a little To get rid of a lot that's wrong Oh, they're only putting in a nickel To win a dollar song
The eastern world it is exploding Violence flarin', bullets loadin' You're old enough to kill but not for votin' You don't believe in war but whats that gun you're totin'? And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
But you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today? If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy
And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction
Yeah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating I'm sitting here just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth it knows no regulation Handful of senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration When human respect is disintegratin' This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'
And you tell me Over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction
Think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama You may leave here for four days in space But when you return it's the same old place The pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
And tell me Over and over and over and over again my friend You don't believe We're on the eve of destruction Mmm, no, no, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way. But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone. So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now, From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall. I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way that you feel As every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way. But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now, From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions that I recall. I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud, Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed. Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now, From win and lose, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life at all.
Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the world 아침이 밝았습니다 태초의 아침처럼 검은 새가 울었습니다 태초의 새처럼 새의 노래를 찬양해요 아침이 온것을 찬양해요 그들이 세상에서 싱그런 모습으로 솟아남을 찬양합니다.
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass 새로 내린 비처럼 달콤하게 하늘의 햇빛을 받아 마치 처음 내린 이슬처럼 처음자란 잔디 위를 적셔오네요 그분의 발자국이 지나가 완벽한 모습으로 태어난 젖은 풀밭의 상큼함을 찬양합니다.
Mine is the sunlight mine is the morning Born of the one light eden saw play Praise with elation praise every morning God's recreation of the new day 이 햇빛은 나의것 이 아침은 나의 것 에덴의 탄생을 지켜보았던 한줄기 빛으로 태어난 아침 넘치는 기쁨으로 찬양합니다 신이 만들어 주신 새로운 하루를.
Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin' down the road, I get a feelin That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads Take me home, (down) country roads Take me home, (down) country roads
A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"
Did you write the book of love, and do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Now do you believe in rock and roll, can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died
I started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin' "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"
Now for ten years we've been on our own, and moss grows fat on a rollin' stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx A quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died
We were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"
Helter skelter in a summer swelter, the birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died?
We started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin' "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"
Oh, and there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died
I started singin' it singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin' "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"
I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets, the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died
And they were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"
They were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"
If you could read my mind love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie bout a ghost from a wishin well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as Im a ghost that you cant see If I could read your mind love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a paperback novel The kind that drugstores sell When you reach the part where the heartaches come The hero would be me But heroes often fail And you wont read that book again Because the endings just too hard to take
Id walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three way script Enter number two A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me But for now love, lets be real * I never thought I could act this way * And Ive got to say that I just dont get it I dont know where we went wrong But the feelins gone And I just cant get it back
If you could read my mind love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie bout a ghost from a wishin well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet But stories always end And if you read between the lines Youll know that Im just tryin to understand The feelins that you lack I never thought I could feel this way And Ive got to say that I just to get it I dont know where we went wrong But the feelins gone And I just cant get it back
Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about Everybody that was a-hangin' out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
Ah, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say, "Do you want to make a deal?"
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal?
How does it feel How does it feel To have on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
Ah, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts, but you'd better take your diamond ring You'd better pawn it, babe
You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel Ah, how does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
Hey where did we go, days when the rain came. Down in the hollow, playin' a new game. Laughin' and a runnin' , hey hey, skippin' and a jumpin' in the misty mornin' fog with our hearts a thumpin' at you, The Brown-Eyed Girl You're my Brown-Eyed Girl
Now what ever happened, Tuesday is so slow, Goin' down the old man river, with a transistor radio standin' in the sunlight laughin' hidin' behind a rainbow wall Slippin' and a slidin', all along the waterfall with you, the Brown-Eyed Girl You're my Brown-Eyed Girl.
Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah la dee dah
So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own I saw you just the other day, my how you had grown, Cast my memory back there Lord Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' bout, makin love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you. the Brown-Eyed Girl You, my Brown-Eyed Girl.
Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah la dee dah

On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry, But the air was full of sounds
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
