Looking for a place with a real lazy pace, Lay right back, simply rest my mind. Living in a grass hut, swinging in a hammock, In some sleepy cove forgotten by time. I'll be the boy who sings songs sometimes, Swim, sit in the sun and easy dream a while. Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all. Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all. I don't want to be rushed and pushed and crushed and mushed.

There is an ocean of vast proportion
And she flows within ourselves. To take dips daily we dive in gaily, He knows who goes within himself. The abode of Angels, the mystical Promised Land, The one and only Heaven, the God of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. There is a silence of pure excellence And she flows within ourselves. To appreciate, re-deactivate, He knows who goes within himself. The domain of Devils, the Fearful Land, The only and only Hades, the Satan of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. All is as it was and ever more shall be, Though they try to tell us it's not so. Over all the earth there's nothing new to see, Excepting every seed will newly grow. Innocence in childhood false men misconstrue To be years of darkness spent in shade, Denying childhood's vision of the God of Love, So that Truth be turned about and untruth made, And untruth made. There is a reason for every season Of change within ourselves. To navigate, re-appreciate And know the flow within ourselves. The deliverance from Deluge, the good dry land, The one and only Haven, the rock of Man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. There is a season, ooh, There is an ocean, ooh, There is a silence, ooh. |

Seek ye the mystery through all this energy
To set your soul bird free from deathless delight. There are so many ways, forms upon which to gaze, Live in a divine daze of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. There may be so many, many pains, Till of old the golden goal you gain. Out on the lonely road you began long ago, No other way to show deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. Deathless delight Deathless delight Deathless delight. I have had some tingles in my time, Never dreaming them to be a sign, be a sign. Out on the lonely road living a warrior's code, Everywhere thine abode of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight |

Beneath the weight of the world I can be found
Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around. On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost, Now I understand what those sad songs say. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If an' you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end.

Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care, Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say, Sad, sad songs they say. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If an' you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end.

she found an angel. Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now. She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower. Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her. Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned. In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle. The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind Sorrow more distant than a star. Multi colour run down over your body, Then the liquid passing all into all Love is hot truth is molten. True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked. He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang Goo goo, Barabajagal was my name now, |

I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze. Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes. A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace Lies still in the magic of a timeless place. One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves That rest on their hands with the touch of love. On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown. And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree. The doves circle over and land in the trees Where parrots are talking their words with such ease. Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day: "There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away." If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers. The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay. >From out of the sun a giant gull came flying And the children got ready to sit on its wings. They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the trees The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea. They came to the castle and there they did fall, And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall. A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kind Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind. The clash of bright metal brought the children fear, But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears. Thus children held hands and they spelled out their name All the golden children became a golden chain. It lies on a white throne in a magic place With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace. My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake In a dream I was told that my princess would wake |

Dive and swim in the ripples of your laugh. Oh, I dreamed you were a Jewel Sitting on golden crown oh my head, my head, my head. Look at the tiny oceans in-my hand Waves of liquid colours touch the sand. Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel Sitting on golden crown on my head, my head, my head |

Walking in the seashore twilight,
It's then you spy carnival lights, You slowly near the magic sight, Tangerine sky minus one kite. Take time an' tie your pretty hair The gypsy driver doesn't care If you catch your hair in the ferris wheel on top, In the ferris wheel on top. A silver bicycle you shall ride, To bathe your mind in the quiet tide. Far off as it seems your hair will mend With a Samson's strength to begin again. Take time an' dry your pretty eyes, Watch the seagull fly far-off skies To build its nest in the ferris wheel on top, In the ferris wheel on top. If ever I reach her. And the moral here, if any, my friend: Follow through your dream to the end. Dig the seagull fly across the sky To build its nest in the ferris wheel, In the ferris wheel |

Been a-lookin' for a good girl,
But it's taking time. A-been a-lookin' for a good girl, A-one to please my mind as well as my time. I've been singing in the evening, Flying through the night. But I hurt my good gal, I hope she makes out right, Flying through the night. I've been picking up the sunshine, I've been drinking down the rain, girl, I've been picking up the sunshine, it makes me think on when I'll see you again. You know time could bring a change, girl, It ain't for me to say. You'll soon be out of range, girl, A-this could only be the way it's meant to be. Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight, The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion Seagull flies across my eyes forever. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. Would I, should I, could I be a stranger, I shall walk right by and sigh goodbye. Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. I've been lookin', oh yeah, I say I've been lookin' far a good girl, You better believe it, baby, yeah! Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, oh yeah! Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, Ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you Yeah, I've been a-lookin |

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,
About a-midnight hour And it almost b-b-blew my mind, I got caught in a coloured shower. All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset, I saw a sign in the sky It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," I couldn't keep up up if I tried. Ah, we stepped down to reality company To get some instant sleep And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back" He smiled and he said, "Beep beep". What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on all around me, What goes on ? I really wanna know. When in should come-a my dream woman, She got sequins in her hair, Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film, She sat in a white straw chair But I thought I'd take a second look Just to see what I could see And my scene had popped out like a bubble does, There was nobody there but me. I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me, But you ain't in a Wonderland You know I might-a be there to greet you, child, When your trippin' ship touches sand." What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. A silver goblet of wine is-a to be Held in a bejewelled glove And her knights they toast the tournament, The falcons they fly above. And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight But the jester she cries alone, Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell To make the devil's white knights moan And-a all in all, the seagull said, "As I look to where I've been, The whole wide human race Has a-taken far too much Methedrine". What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? So near What goes on ? I really wanna know. Yeah well, come on. We sat in a velvet jewel case With sparkles everywhere, And Julian he sat on a diamond ring And-a talked of the days gone by. We spoke of a common kaleidoscope And the pros and the cons of Zen And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake He really did have a yen. Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter", A broken hour glass in his hand, And-a Joannie sat in a white lace Looking cool with a black lace fan. What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? Yes please tell me. What goes on ? I really wanna know |

Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace. The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase, Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight, Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try The changes I'm going through ? A hidden lie would fortify Something that don't exist But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad, So many more things to do, I intend to come right through them all with you. My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind We talk a while by a crooked stile, You're lucky to catch a few. There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand, It's a pleasure to be true. In my crystal halls a feather falls Being beautiful just for you But that might not be quite true, that's up to you. Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake A strange young girl sang her songs for me And left 'fore the day was born. That dark princess with saddening jest She lowered her eyes of woe, And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try The changes she's going through But I hope love comes right through them all with you |

Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Di di di di, di di di di Di di di di, di di di di Di di di When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be and long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

Do not go gentle into that good night Old age should burn and rave at close of day Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right Because their words had forked no lightning They do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears I pray, do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light The dying of the light. |

Raggedy and tousle-haired He looked as though he never cared To run a comb where a comb should run, Freckles from the sun.

In Tangier down a windy street Where beggars meet and on old rags do sleep The women dressed in soiled white sheet With starving kids by their side. With staring eyes that never weep Old Moroccans with their elephantiasis feet Who life and death treat so cheap Happy in their hunger For they live longer than their fathers.

The days of wine and roses are distant days for me. I dream of the last and the next affair and of girls I'll never see. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue, The retired writer in the sun. Tonight I trod in the starlight, I excused myself with a grin. I ponder the moon in a silver spoon and the little one 'live within. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun. The magazine girl poses on my glossy paper aeroplane Too many years I spent in the City playing with Mr. Loss and Gain. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue, The retired writer in the sun. I bathe in the sun of the morning, lemon circles swim in the tea Fishing for time with a wishing line and throwing it back in the sea. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue, The retired writer in the sun. |

The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico. There in the valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jade Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine In that crystal thought time in Mexico. Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine, Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine. Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet, I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico. Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night, Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight, Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp, Valentino vamp in Mexico. The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity I dug you diggin' me in Mexico. |

From the album love is only feeling
She came with her blue jeans on Wanting to star in a song. Get you with your ins and outs of it, You're coming on strong, so strong I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna make love to you. She lifted my spirits high, I noticed the dream in her eye. Softly I entered her garden Parting her veil with a sigh. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm going to give my love to you. I tidied up my last affair, I lost so much I don't care Felt like a fool in a foolery, But I'm well on my way to repair. I know you ain't no hanger on, Baby, you can star in a song. I took a look inside her head, I saw a Victorian bed. I took her to the fair green country, I'm so weary of the life I've led I'll tell you what we're gonna do, We're gonna live and love so true. |

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree Swaying in a summer breeze, You'll never change what has to be. Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. Sometimes I don't know what I said till I did, I want to be the father of your kid. Dragonfly he sleeps till dawn, I knew I'd be here when love has gone. Crystal ball is what I wish for you, Get it straight, I love the both of you. Someone's goin' through a cold turkey. Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. I give your baby a contact high I love another is what I sigh -ha- Looks like rain, I do declare, Your baby wants to take my chocolate eclair. I couldn't cry, I could not laugh, Incident about a silken scarf. I know what a jealous trip can be. Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree Swaying in a summer breeze, You'll never change what has to be, Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. Weep for me, willow tree, Weep for me, willow tree. |

A Saturday night
It feels like a Sunday in some ways If you had any sense You'd maybe go ‘way for a few days Be that as it may You can't only say you were lonely You are but a young girl Working your way thru the phoneys Cafe on, milk gone Such a sad light unfading Yourself you touch But not too much You hear it's degrading The flowers on your stockings Wilting away in the midnight The book you are reading Is one man's opinion of moonlight Your skin is so white You'd like maybe to go to bed soon Just closing your eyes If you're to rise up before noon High heels, car wheels All the losers are groovin' Your dream, strange scene Images are movin' Your friends they are all making A pop star or two every evening And you know that scene backwards, They can't see the patterns they're weaving Your friends they're all models But you soon got over that one You sit in your one room A little brought down in London Cafe on, milk gone Such a sad light unfading Yourself you touch But not too much You've heard it's degrading A Saturday night It feels like a Sunday in some ways If you had any sense You'd maybe go ‘way for a few days Be that as it may You can't only say you were lonely You are but a young girl And you're working your way thru the phoneys |

I drink sweet wine for breakfast, I slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence deciding on where to go. "Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum," I think that's what she said, a little bit sad about having to leave them. Yawning in the sun, like a child I run. But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. No, don't it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. How little do you speak of beauty, isn't it a shame, what ho Maybe you should go get a power ring, you'd make all your troubles go. There she stood in drag, just-a lookin' cool in astrakhan. She's lookin' just a little wiped out, she said I looked like Peter Pan. Yawning in the sun, oh baby, like a child I run. But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. Oh no, no, don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. Don't do it. |

Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale. The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades, I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades In the night time. Crystals sparkle in the grass, I polish them with thought On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught. Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go In the night time, In the night time. Gypsy is the clown of love, I paint his face a smile Anyone we ever make we always make in style. Yeah! Yeah, strange young girls with radar screenings, yeah, And hands as quick as hate I won't just now, later on maybe and even then I'll wait In the night time, In the night time.

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight In sunshine and in shadow All journey long, singing a song In search of Eldorado. But he grew old this knight so bold And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found no spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. Over the mountains of the moon Down the valley of the shadow Ride boldly ride, the shade replied If you seek for Eldorado. And as his strength failed him at length He met a pilgrim shadow 'Shadow' - said he - 'Where can it be' 'This land of Eldorado ?' Over the mountains of the moon Down the valley of the shadow Ride boldly ride, the shade replied If you seek for Eldorado. |

In the night In the dark night There's a light That shines on me And the lady of the lamp she lies by me and holds on tight In my mind In constand mind I am restless Yet sincere And the lady of the lamp fears nothing. She's the mystic kind In this life In this dark vale One is rarely truly loved And the lady of the lamp loves only me I am her grail In the dawn In the blue dawn As the sun begins to rise The lady of the lamp sighs darkness passed and gone darkness passed and gone |

>From within the ...endless sky the silence surges softly through me Listening to the ...desert sigh in the presence fo the Bo tree Comes the dawning of the day Dreaming as in a trance Comes the rising of the moon weaving...in Maya's dance The only thing to...really learn living in the evernow To only know the single moment living in the evernow All things...they must pass that which is born will die Existence as...transient clouds in an autumn sky Comes the dawning of the day dreaming as in a trance Comes the rising of the sun nothing ever left to chance The only thing to...really learn living in the evernow To only know the single moment living in the evernow |

From the album sutras
One day when a man among the throng Will see his way is wrong The Universe will shine One day when the kind you see in dreams Will baffle all our schemes The Universe will shine One day with a smile a wound will heal And with awareness feel The Universe to shine One day when immensity is near This man will conquer fear And Universe will shine Shine ye spinning orbs of light Shine ye crystal stars so bright All ye harmonised by love Set in motion, moved by love One day when the scientist he'll see The loving energy Make Universe to shine One day when the secrets of the Sun Enlighten everyone The Universe will shine This day as I stand before you all I hear the Cosmos call The Universe will shine Shine ye spinning orbs of light Shine ye crystal stars so bright All ye harmonised by love Set in motion, moved by love Con-cen-tri-ca-lly cycled Perfect pa-ra-bo-lic soul In-de-scri-ba-bly beloved Universal Heart She said In the silver sadness of the moon I read a prophet rune The Universe will shine In the golden temple of the Sun I see the Fiery one The Universe will shine Homo-Sapien am I no more Beyond beyond I soar The Universe Am I |

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Di di di di, di di di di Di di di di, di di di di Di di di When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be and long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears. He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen, Been a soldier for a thousand years. He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain, A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew. And he knows he shouldn't kill, And he knows he always will, Kill you for me my friend and me for you. And he's fighting for Canada, He's fighting for France, He's fighting for the USA, And he's fighting for the Russians, And he's fighting for Japan, And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way. And he's fighting for Democracy, He's fighting for the Reds, He says it's for the peace of all. He's the one who must decide, Who's to live and who's to die, And he never sees the writing on the wall. But without him, How would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone, He's the one who gives his body As a weapon of the war, And without him all this killing can't go on. He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame, His orders come from far away no more, They come from here and there and you and me, And brothers can't you see, This is not the way we put the end to war.
