Only The Wild Ones

long hair and longer stride
skateboard fair with a primal tribe
and your cut off painter pants
chargin down the craggy mountains with our thrift store friends
who you find so... so in love with the falling earth
oh you wake in the middle of the falling night with summer playing coy
in the attics of the city night
we talked corso and the MC5
you could dance like
we were all ALL right
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
one i met in the green mountain state
i dropped out, and he moved away
heard he got some land down south
changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go but everywhere... no place to go but everywhere
and in the city the mayor said
those who dance are all mislead
so you packed your things and moved to the other coast
said you gonna be like charlie rose
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch

Bang Bang
07:04

She woke me up with a bang, bang
Looking over cross-eyed
Had a big hunch that the world was a big lie
When I got up all the blood to my head
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
I went over to the way side
Looking for the high tide
What will I find, will I find, will I find, find?
All I saw was a man that had a hat that had a pom-pom
He's been there for years
Can someone tell me how long
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
You see this woman woke me up
At a quarter to three
And I didn't know it then
But she put a spell on me
Said, "I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
And meet an old man to present my plea
So I headed way down to the big pier (the big pier)
To await and confront my big fear (my big fear)
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
Said, "Mister, mister, with your beard so long
Won't you be a saint and tell me
Just where I'm going."
He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime
And said, "This is all I really need to get by."
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Hey, mister man
I know you don't know
Who you think I, think I am
But I can safely say,
That I should've been sleeping, been sleeping, been sleeping, been sleeping the day away
(someone pull down the shade)
I said, "'scuse me, have you got the time?"
He shrugged his shoulders
Said, "Get a spine.
Coconut hit me on the head
Jonesin' for a fig
I got booked last night
I need another fix, dick."
Just then I see a twinkle twinkle in the old man's eye
And a wave tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
I took out the message,
Put the bottle down
Inside was the antidote to the spell
And I read it to the man
'Cause he couldn't read so well
Said, "Don't worry about a thing
You know your path is true
Just ease your mind
Have a banana or two."
Well, goodness, goodness, woe is me
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
But just before we left and started kicking it
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet,
Say, "Damn! Let the poor sucker sleep."
Let him sleep
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Taizofara naye fara naye
Taizofara naye fara naye
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye

Taizofara naye fara naye
Kwaziwai? Kwaziwai?
Makasimba, here?
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo
Ndakasimba, Ndakasimba, Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo
You raise your head, you beat the sun
But your boys they lie so close to you
Do you dare get up and wake the two
Oh, Elias, I see you there at work in the day time
Do you think you answer all the questions in the world
In just one word, I think you could
Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone
Or will I hear it in passing conversation
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Honest and Manuel, well they're at school now
Given the chance that their father's never seen
To see what's beyond section 17
And in ten years when you look back at your boys
Well you know they're grown way taller than the tallest
Sugar cane in the field
Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone
Or will I hear it in passing conversation
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
I see your wife she stands stooped over by the fire outside
And I see your boys and when they look up
You know I think they got their mother's eyes
Cause she looks so proud, she looks so happy
She looks so proud, she looks so happy
Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone
Or will I hear it in passing conversation
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me

Flying Horses

The river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone
And in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own
So I picked it up and held it to the sky
And in my reflection I knew I was all alone
Yeah (yeah)
Then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair
She had it wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear
I asked her for a lock and she complied, after leaving
Gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care
Well, she was the prettiest girl I ever saw
The stone lay still without a flaw
The feelings I had defied the law
As I came to, I went to
And I took a look, a look down the road
To see a badger and a one-eyed toad
They didn't say a word they just looked at me
With that wise old look of the old
(Yeah wise old look of the old)
Yeah
Then I went down to town
To my favorite merry-go-round
To the place where magic hoses fly
And you seldom see a frown
But then I stole a ring from the flying horses
And I can't begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
And it's all rusty now
I stole a ring from the flying horses
And I can't begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
And it's all rusty now
(It's all rusty)
You see 'cause that stone fell though my pocket
And that lock of hair flew away with the wind
If you chance to meet upon either
Well you know where they've been
But don't pick them up or try to find me
They're much happier to be on their own
Beauty like that knows no home
And if you take a look, a look down the road
You'll see a badger and a one-eyed toad
They won't say a word they'll just look at you
With that wise old look of the old
(Hey yeah, wise old look of the old, hey yeah)
Yeah but then I stole a ring from the flying horses
And I can't begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
And it's all rusty now
I stole a ring from the flying horses
And I can't begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
And it's all rusty now

Midnight Lorry
06:24
|
|||
I walk down the road looking for my tribunal
Like tom and huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral
Please goddess of the road, get me on my way
You see my love just left me so I’m on my own
And my heart’s banged up looking for a foster home
The highway moon is getting me dizzy
I see a mirage of medusa,
A top of an Appaloosa, what I wouldn’t do to be with you and your caboosa
Whispering to Mr. beck now who’s the real loser
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
A PYT ushers me back to the rear
I haven’t been many places and i definitely haven’t been here
To think i was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out
Now I’m rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out
We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry
She teased my hair and held me close with a story
Of rag tag visions as the moonlight poured in
Second star to the right and straight on til’ morning
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then
I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
Looking at her face was like looking at the sun
She said you can’t ask of everybody what you don’t ask of one
Either way, we got today and that’s all we may be allowed
I know that if we hold it together,
There’s real love we can bring about
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride

Bats In The Belfrey
06:21

old man river said you can go your own way
if you just leave him alone doesn’t matter
do not deliver all your things today we are going home
oh mama we now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry I’m in the kitchen boiling society
I’m in the open catching all the leaves we all see what we want
old man river said you can go your own way
if you just leave him alone doesn’t matter
do not deliver all your things today we are going home
oh mama we now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry I’m in the kitchen boiling society
I’m in the open catching all the leaves we all see what we want
I have a crazy idiosyncrasy it's affinity to serendipity
and in this eternal epiphany no hypocrisy or duplicity
oh mama we now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry I’m in the kitchen boiling society

Letter to Lady J
04:52

my dear old friend, it’s you we need
there’s blood in the gutters, and fear in the street
how long can we fight for a change that never comes
in some ways it’s the same, but tonight the crowd they came
fists in the air, candles and vigils, cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
but how long’s it been since you been outside
how long’s it been since you open your eyes
cuz I've been to the line, and it’s all right there
and I cannot wait to get on from here
arms bent back and black jack welt
involuntary tears and the tears we felt
does it always have to get worse before it gets better
Virgil Caine where are you now
did they bury the hate when they buried the south
you got to tell the spirits mystics of tomorrow
