A cloaking robe of elvenkind

hangs in my wardrobe behind

All those things that mother

said were proper for a boy

And I know I could not say why

On this summer evening

Sixteen books on magic spells

stacked below the cloak of elves

And sixteen books on magic spells

so elegantly bound

And I know I could not say why

On this summer evening

And I know something...something about you

And I know something...something about you



A cloaking robe of elvenkind

hangs in my wardrobe behind

All those things that mother said

were proper for a boy

Ancient walls of flowers tumblin' down
Black cat petals and a smiling clown
I like to keep them in
a jar beside
Just enough to mess my mind inside
But I never heard you callin' from the sun
Did you ever care to shoot your silver gun
No I never heard you callin' from the moon
Did you ever care to sing your free love tune
Ancient walls of whispers falling low
Murmur simmer and I'm feeling slow
Keep me up but keep me in my head
I'll ping a pound of posies 'til I'm dead
But I never heard you callin' from the sun
Did you ever care to shoot your silver gun
No I never heard you callin' from the moon
Did you ever care to sing your free love tune

No I never heard you callin' from the sun
Did you ever care to shoot your silver gun
No I never heard you callin' from the moon
Did you ever care to sing your free love tune
Ancient walls of flowers tumblin' down
Ancient walls of flowers tumblin' down
Ancient walls of whispers tumblin' down
Ancient walls are tumblin' all over this town

Hey little boy
see the Johnny and Janes
Hey little boy

Look and see Spot run
Cause he pissed in their hallway
Run Spot run
Run away from it all
And I say you can be anyway
that you wanna be
How I'll be, that's up to me

Hey little girl
see them all run around
Hey little girl
you see them all tumble down
Johnny will boss
Janey will buy
Spot will beg
But everyone dies
As I said you can be
any way that you wanna be
How I'll be, tha's up to me

One little, two little, three little idiots
Four little, five little, six little idiots
Seven little, eight little, nine little idiots
All in suit and tie
One little, two little, three little idiots
Four little, five little, six little idiots
Seven little, eight little, nine little idiots
All dressed up to die, and I say
You can be any way that you wanna be
But how I'll be, that's up to me

Come back and be
Come back for free
Come back and stay child
Have you gone crazy
Molly, it must be fine
It seems so dreamy to be sublime
Molly has gone to Spain
Has gone with Venus to watch the rain
And it seems that's not the place
where you belong
And it seems that's not the place
where you belong
When there's no sun and there's no moon
And there's no stars
child have you gone crazy

Come back and be
Come back for free
Come back and stay child
Have you gone crazy
Molly it must be fine
It seems so dreamy to be sublime
And Molly the whippoorwill
Has gone to space boy, she is there still
When there's no sun and there's no moon
And there's no stars
child have you gone crazy

Christopher O' Malley
went out on a bridge
Down in Chehalis
And clutching his bible
and a letter from her
Fell into the river
Pity no one was there
No angels in the air
And the morning paper ran
One more suicide
His mama stayed by
the river side
Down in Chehalis
And clutching her bible
and a letter from him
Fell into crying
Pity no one was there
No angels in the air
And the morning paper ran
One more suicide

Pity no one was there
No angels in the air
And the morning paper ran
One more suicide
One more suicide
One more suicide

Blue like water
Blue like heaven is

So happy
I'm in heaven
Yeah heaven
Oh the season's come for opium

Long long ago in China
I'm told to England was traded some tea
And so sealed the fate
In pieces of eight
All England and all of the world
Yeah...poppies

When soon his majesty
sent soldiers and thieves
To India searching for gold
Instead from the ground
Some magic they found
Something far better
I'm told
Yeah...poppies
Yeah...poppeis

And now this story told
from days of our own
When gossamer doggies ran ran
They'd patiently wait
With pieces of eight
So everybody could smile
one more time
Yeah...poppeis
Yeah...poppeis

Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think about myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that lounging in my chair
Who's that casting devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely is a dream

Hangin' 'round downtown by self
And I had too much caffeine
And I was thinkin' 'ablout meself

Rain
Like tin angels falling down
Like a mission and we’re halfway there

From some old dried up
fried forgotten town
Why
Won’t they let us be ourselves
With our potential we could toe the line
And show the bastards up
with our divine
Light

Seize
All the records from the past
Hold for ransom all the artifacts
This ragged town protects them to the last
With lies

See them running heading
homeward to Seattle

Deem
All the liars in your tribe
To be the fires on the western side
Of some old front we call
the war of art

Rain
Like tin angels falling down
Like a mission and we’re halfway there

From some old dried up fried forgotten town
From some old dried up fried forgotten town
To some old dried up fried forgotten
Town

Come see the vampires of New York
Come lose your mind in Central Park
But don't leave your soul behind
Come take in 8th street after dark
Such peculiar people you'll remark
You might even see a murder

And all the whores on Bleecker Street
They wear the blissful grin
Caused by the drugs they take
To relieve them of their sins
And "oh lord I think she's dying"
I heard somebody say
I think she's dying
And "oh oh lord I think she's dying"
I think she's dying"

Or maybe she's already dead
and maybe she's gone to Mars
Maybe we could even write
her epitaph in the stars
It'd say "If you go away from here...
If you go a million miles..."
Come downtown to see them go
Into the den of the vampires of New York
But please watch your step
as you're getting off, kids

I am going
Down the long lonesome road to Memphis
And I have come
From the valley of the damned to Memphis

My love has gone
With the devil to the well of poison
But I declare,
I drank my fill from that well of poison

The lord's going to save my soul,
Somewhere in the hills of Memphis
And the lord's going to rest my bones,
Somewhere in the hills of Memphis

Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time

Hello, I have come from heaven
Down, all these things
My angel wings
Hold to them tight

Time for you to wake
Sleep, sleep, sleepy head

Right, to a place of mercy
Right, on these things
My angel wings
Hold to them tight

It's time to go, goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight

In the middle of the night
Float away, lest the fears you hold
Hold fast to the earth
Forever to haunt

Hello
Hello, time to go, goodnight
Goodnight

Oh, she's an eight ball,
She's a'rollin faster than a whitewall,
She's got an avalanche packed in a snowball,
She's losin' all the leeches,
She's like a stonewall,
She's loaded up;

She's the underdog,
Gonna take a mighty swipe
At the high hog,
While a'sippin on her tricks
In a thick fog,
Makin' eyes at the girls like bullfrogs,
I'm telling you, sir;

She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind;

Yeah,
She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind,

You'd like her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your Wall Street pockets are jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games;

It's a long shot,
She's got the truths and a tongue for a slingshot,
But she's takin' steady aim
At the bigshot,
It's hard to miss the rolling bullets
On the blacktop,
You better watch your turf;

She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind;

Yeah,
She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind,

You had her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your golden-lined pockets were jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your wicked games;

She caught your sick lie,
It was creepin' in the shadow of your white smile,
Lurkin' underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes,
Well, you're greasin' up plans for your small-fry;

You wanna talk it up, do you?
Well you're floatin like a royal balloon -- oh,
Your ego's swollen to the size of the moon, well,
I think you found somebody to cut you down to size--
Well well;

Yeah,
She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind,

Yeah,
She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind,

She's comin' up from,
comin' up from, comin' up,
comin' up from behind,

repeat until end

She came in from stormy weather
And asked her friend to be there with her
When she slid down Cupid's bow
Oh lookin' fine that day

I had a dream that we were lovers
I had a joke and she would smile when I'd say
We could blow
Blow a fuse in heaven
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well today
All the lights went out in heaven
Yeah today
All the lights went out in heaven

And I knew that she was all
All that I needed
Yeah, yeah,

Cause today
All the lights went out in heaven
Yeah today
All the lights went out in heaven

And I knew that we were doomed
Doomed to love each other

Lucy came to the timberline
Climbed up on to rainier and
Looked out over washington
Swore she could see the apple trees
And she said "ooo ooo oh i never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes i always wanna be
Right here"

Peter came to the city and
Climbed up into liberty and
Looked out over manhattan
He swore he could see the beauty there
And he said " ooo ooo oh i never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes i always wanna be

Right here"

Find a place
To call home
Any place
To call home

Right here

And so i came in the dead of night
Climbed up into the satellite and
Looked out over america
I swear i could see the buffalo
Ooo ooo oh and i never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes i always wanna be
Right here, right here

Mom i'm dyin'
I'm dizzy and fryin'
My throat hurts
I think i should stay in bed

Cause i got some kind of disease
And there are no remedies
Think i should stay in bed today
Maybe tomorrow go out and play
It's saturday

With ginseng
And fresh squeezed juice
Of wheat-grass
Oh, and some hot chicken soup
That just might keep me alive
A couple days

But i've got some kind of disease

And there are no remedies
Think i'll join timothy leary
In a cryogenic freeze
Next saturday

Yeah i've got some kind of disease
And there are no remedies
Shoulda listened when you said beware
Of horny girls with new jersey hair
Last saturday

On through the woods and you go through the snow
Walk to the tree and you breathe on the limb
How many times have you seen me with her

When the night comes and you find that you're bound
Tied to the tree and the straps at your knees
How many times have you seen me with her

I'd say never, aw lover.
Say never, here.

Hide in the willow and wait for the dawn
Carve another dream in the limb that you're on
How many times have you seen me around

I'd say never, aw lover
Say never, here
Here, say never, aw lover

When the sun comes and you find that you're free
Walk to the water and bleed in the stream
And think of the lover that once you were wrapped around

Breathe in the water, breathe it in deep
Just like the winter, fall into sleep
Don't ever wander, don't ever move again
Never, aw lover
Say never, aw lover

Are you a child of the free to be you and me generation
And are you in tune with the world around you
I am a child of the free to be you and me generation
And I am with you in being in tune

We shall bring change to this place
Listen to the whistle of the planet twirlin' through space
Singin la la la la la la to the human race
(She says)
I believe I am the flower of life, the Earth
And the ocean oh oh
I believe I feel the power of light, vibrate
All around me oh oh
I believe you are the children of the one Great Spirit, oh oh

Are you a child of the free to be you and me generation
And are you confused with the world around you
I am a child of the free to be you and me generation
And I am with you in being confused

Children children can you hear it
Listen to the riddle in the melody by Great Spirit
Singin' la la la la la la there's nothin' to it
(He says)
I believe I am the flower of life, the air
And the sunshine oh oh
I believe I am the power of light, the motive
For the universe oh oh
I believe you are the children of the one
Mother Earth oh oh

Puppets of hay and a king for sale
Cries Jolly Roger
The jester dance the ?oker strut'
In the court of rebel sodville
Bring wine for the knights in crime armour
As time beats away and
Bring ?m all shattered glass in flowers
In hopes that they all might stay
One more day

Put a jack for hire on the cold wheel of fire
Cries dolly dagger
With a ripple hot in the wing iron pot
In the court of rebel sodville
Bring wine for the queen in red; courage
As time beats away
And she smiles as they drift past her humor and hopes
They all might stay
One more day

What a master of power in the cold ivory tower
Cried sully Stephen
As a snowdrift night brings a chilling bite
To the court of rebel sodville
Bring wine for the knights in crime armour
As time beats away
And wiling in an acid bath of hours
We hope that they all might stay
One more day

Backstage behind the curtain there's an

You climb in and get naked watching Star Blazers

Wish you had their amenities
To fend off your enemies
In one big blast from your wave motion gun

And so you reach down to that secret panel and there's a
There's a whole raft of little buttons and you
You pick one and hope it takes you to Mars

Soon there'll be no pain again
You'll feel like yourself again
When you shoot all your heroin
In one big blast from your wave motion gun

And so downstairs behind the oven there's a
There's a dark hole where, where the gas comes in
You know you should, you should climb in
It'll get you there so much faster
