"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag" So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies And we walked off to look for America "Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh "Michigan seems like a dream to me now" It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw I've gone to look for America Laughing on the bus Playing games with the faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera" "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat" "We smoked the last one an hour ago" So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field "Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America All gone to look for America |

Do you remember the last time I said
If I ever thought about lying, I'd rather think of dying instead And maybe you remember the last time you called me to say we were through How it took a million tears just to prove they all were for you But those days are through 'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference, if you loved me How could you love me When it wouldn't really make any difference, if you really loved me You just didn't love me 'Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me And maybe you remember that though I can't always show proof I was true No one else could change my mind or stop me coming home to you But those days are through You just did not love me enough to believe me Enough not to leave me Enough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me And make me regret ever wanting you But those days are through |

Unfolding enveloping missiles of soul
Recall senses sadly Mirage like soft blue like lanterns below To light the way gladly Whether whistling heaven's clouds disappear Where the wind withers memory Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows) Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows) Unbending never ending tablets of time Record all the yearning Unfearing all appearing message divine Eases the burning Whether willing witness waits at my mind Whether hope dampens memory Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows) Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows) Encasing all embracing wreath of repose Engulfs all the senses Imposing, unclosing thoughts that compose Retire the fences Whether wholly heartened life fades away Whether harps heal the memory Whether wholly heartened life fades away Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows) Feel flows (Black hot glistening shadowy flows) Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows) Feelings to grow (White hot glistening shadowy flows) White hot glistening shadowy flows White hot glistening shadowy flows White hot glistening shadowy flows |

See the farmer on the other side of town
He's always working hard 'til the sun goes down He's up every morning right on five, a wanting green seeds just to come alive, But he don't wear a no farm clothes, he's always using a rake and hoe, But his seeds are starting to grow, like a big stalk up through the sky He used to live in an apartment in a big old city With thick and priestly windows built right in it But he decided to move to a little tiny town He wanted to be a farmer all year round And on a country road where you can't see a thing He's got five acres filled little green things, he said He's working so hard all night and day Mr. Farmer let me watch your crops Mr. Farmer let me water your crops Mr. Farmer let me harvest your crops I want to have a dream come true I said a farmer, farmer, farmer I want to be just like you See the farmer a walking down town, always draws a crowd when he's around He's always wearing seedy clothes, he's shows them off whereever he goes You can spot him anywhere, got a bright pink thumb but he don't care, I said, he looks like something from a very bad dream Mr. Farmer let me watch your crops Mr. Farmer let me water your crops Mr. Farmer let me harvest your crops Mr. Farmer let me save your crops I said, a farmer, farmer, farmer... |

Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door.
Ain't but one way out baby, and Lord I just can't go out the door. Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know. Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor; If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more. So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow. And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be Talking that stuff that they don't know. Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place, I know some man gonna walk in and take my place. Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know. Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know. Cause there's a man down there, Freely Lord, it just might happen to be your man... Lord, it just a might be your man, Oh baby, I just don't know... |

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you, I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me, My friend, the boy next door. I can't believe what people saying, You're gonna let your hair hang down, I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long, You're in the darker side of town. And when I'm out I see you walking, Why don't your eyes see me, Could it be you've found another game to play, What did mama say to me. That's The Way, Oh, That's The Way it ought to be, Yeah, yeah, mama say That's The Way it ought to stay. And yesterday I saw you standing by the river, And weren't those tears that filled your eyes, And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying, Had they got you hypnotized? And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, But all that lives is born to die. And so I say to you that nothing really matters, And all you do is stand and cry. I don't know what to say about it, When all you ears have turned away, But now's the time to look and look again at what you see, Is that the way it ought to stay? That's the way... That's the way it oughtta be Oh don't you know now, Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah. |

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The word she knows, the tune she hums But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly Hold me cloer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen you had a busy dan today Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand |

I'm waiting for the man
Twenty six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington, One Two Five So sick and dirty more dead than alive I'm waiting for the man Hey white boy, what you doing uptown? Hey white boy, you're chasing all the women around Oh pardon me sir it's furthest from my mind I'm just looking for a good friend of mine I'm waiting for the man Here he comes, he's all dressed in black PR shoes, and a big straw hat He's never early, he's always late First thing you learn is that you've always got to wait I'm waiting for the man Brown stone building and three flights of stairs Nobody stops you 'cause nobody cares He's got the works and he gives you sweet taste But then you've got to split because you've got no time to waste I'm waiting for the man Baby don't you holler, darling don't you scream and shout I'm feeling good, I'm going to work it on out I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine Until tomorrow but that's just another time I'm waiting for the man I'm waiting for the man Twenty six dollars lying there in my hand Up to Lexington, One Two Five five So sick and dirty more dead than alive I'm waiting for the man |

I listen to the Wind
To the wind of my soul Where I'll end up well, I think Only God really Knows I've sat upon the setting sun But never never never I never wanted water once No never never never I listen to my words But they fall far below I let my music take me Where my heart wants to go I've swam upon the devil's lake But never never never I'll never make the same mistake No never never never |

What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near Tell me you would try to slip away somehow Oh I need you darling I want to see you right now Can you slip away, slip away Slip away, oh I need you so. Love, oh love, how sweet it is When you steal love, Let me tell you how sweet it is... Now I know it's wrong, The things I ask you to do But please believe me darling I don't mean to hurt you But can you slip away Without him knowin you're gone Baby, we could meet somewhere, Somewhere we both are not known Can you slip away, slip away, Slip away-ay-ay-ay...[stop] I need you so Vamp out... Oh can you slip away baby I'd like to see you right now darling Can you slip away baby Cause I got to, got to see you I feel a deep burning inside Oh I wish you could slip away... |
