Greasy Heart

Lady, you keep asking why he likes you how come Wonder why he wants more if he just had some Boys, she's got more to play with in the way of toys Ladies eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes Paper dresses catch on fire & you lose her in the haze Don't ever change lady, he likes you that way because He just had his hair done and he wants to use your wig He's going off the drug thing cause his veins are getting big He wants to sell his paintings but the market is slow They're only paying him two grams now for a one-man abstract show Don't ever change people even if you can You are your own best toy to play with remote control hands Made for each other made in Japan Woman with a greasy heart automatic man Don't ever change people your face will hit the fan Don't ever change people even if you can Don't change before the empire falls You'll laugh so hard you'll crack the walls

Ice Cream Phoenix

You don't know just When to stop and when to go City street's in the dead of winter Stop your mind with dirty snow Walk at night and Touch your hand to the golden lights And let them show You got shadows disapearing I'll smile and say I told you so Baby, tell me why if you think you know why People love when there's no tommorow Still not cry when it's time to go And still not cry when it's time to go And Still not cry when it's time to go You warn your memory Will echo your sorrow The pictures of sadness Are not what they seem So hold out your smile take My hand and be happy These pictures of sadness Are not all they seem Are you so old that you've no childhood Is your timeline so unreal That all your sunsets Come in the morning Baby, tell me how you feel Shows of books in you mirror reflected The sidewalks and alleys that you've seen Show colours change as the images faded Our magical vanishing memory machine Baby, tell me how if you think you know how People love when there's no tommorow Do people love if there's no tommorow? And still not cry when they have to go And still not cry when they have to go And still not cry when they have to go

Mexico

Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade, Come to the Poet's Room Talking about the problems of the leaf, And yes, it'll be back soon There used to be tons of gold and green Comin' up here from Mexico A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol? [The translation is: "Where is the plant, my friend, of the sun."] But Mexico is under the thumb Of a man we call Richard And he's come to call himself king But he's a small-headed man And he doesn't know a thing About how to deal for you How to deal for you There are millions of you now I mean it's not as if you were alone There are brothers everywhere Just waiting for a toke on that gold And God knows how far it can go But thanks Uncle Charlie For your Mexican smoke You're a legend Owsley For your righteous dope There were a half a million people on the lawn And we sang to the faces in the dark How long must that damn race Wait for the jailer's time to end? How long must the Panther race Wait for the iron bars to bend? And no no no no no nobody waits

She Has Funny Cars

Every day I try so hard to know your mind And find out what's inside you Time goes on and I don't know just where you are Or how I'm going to find you You can do whatever you please The world's waiting to be seized You can collect all neglect Or all the self-respect you need, what you need And I know... and I know... and I know Your mind's guaranteed It's all you'll ever need So what do you want with me? We live but once But good things can be found around In spite of all the sorrow If you see black You can't look back You can't look front You cannot face tomorrow Some have it nice Fat and round, flash, paradise They're very wise to their disguise Trying to revolutionize tomorrow And I know... and I know... and I know Your mind's guaranteed It's all you'll ever need So what do you want with me?

Good Shepherd

If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep One for Paul One for Silas One for to make my heart rejoice Can't you hear my lambs acallin Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep

Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil

If you were a bird and you lived very high, knew even the wind as the breeze came by, say to the wind as it took you away, That's where I wanted to go today" And I do know that I need to have you around Love like a mountain springtime, flashing through the rivers of my mind; it's what I feel for you. You and me go walking south And we see all the world around us, The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you, And I do know that I need to have you around, And I do, I do know that I need to have you around. I have a house where I can go When there's too many people around me; I can sit and watch all the people Down below goin' by me; Halfway down the stair is a stair Where I sit and think about you and me; But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die, When I die, when I'm high, when I die? If you were a cloud and you sailed up there, You sail on water as blue as air, You'd see me here in the fields and say, "Doesn't the sky look green today?"

Third Week In The Chelsea


Sometimes I feel like i am leaving life behind My hands are moving faster than the movement of my mind Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn I hope that I will find them 'fore my moving gets too worn If only I could live to see the dawning of the dawn So we go on moving trying to make this image real Straining every nerve not knowing what we really feel Straining every nerve ending and everybody sees That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be And trying to avoid a taste of that reality On an early New York mornin' a mirror in the hall Showed to me a face I didn't know at all Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide When I looked into the mouth there was nothing left inside So I walked into the little room and whistled like a sigh As dawn light closed around me my head was still in gear Thinking thoughts of playing more and singing loud and clear Trying to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile That often comes to haunt me in the morning All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name But all I know is what I feel whenever I'm not playin' Emptiness ain't where it's at and neither's feeling pain Well now what is going to happen now is anybody's guess If I can't spend my time with love I guess I need a rest Time is getting late now and the sun is getting low My body's getting tired of carryin' another's load And sunshine's waiting for me a little further down the road

Long John Silver

Long John Silver ring in his ear he's the hero, make that clear does the same thing his father did sailing around the Caribbean robing king with his talking parrot this time I think he's on the high side scabs are forming, scraped his knee guards are warning, a bad man is free he's like electric clock that needs no winding keeps the time without your hands western feet need no binding take a barefoot run through old Japan he's seen a thousand countries, they're all the same some men crazy - some men sane but all men are ruled by a flag or a game he knows nobody's got you if you don't sign your name Long John Silver serves no king no land holds him--that's why he feels like singing every country now & then roars like Irish--drunk & singing every monk will now & then call his men to hear the wenches night bells ringing

Rejoyce


Chemical change like a laser beam you've shattered the warning amber light Make me warm let me see you moving everything over smiling in my room you know you'll be inside of my mind soon. There are so many of you. White shirt and tie, white shirt and tie, white shirt and tie, wedding ring, wedding ring. Mulligan stew for Bloom, the only Jew in the room Saxon's sick on the holy dregs and their constant getting throw up on his leg. Molly's gone to blazes, Boylan's crotch amazes any woman whose husband sleeps with his head all buried down at the foot of his bed. I've got his arm I've got his arm I've had it for weeks I've got his arm Steven won't give his arm to no gold star mother's farm; War's good business so give your son and I'd rather have my country die for me. Sell your mother for a Hershey bar grow up looking like a car there are; All you want to do is live, all you want to do is give but some how it all falls apart!

Let's Get Together

Love is but a song we sing, Hear a way we die. You can make the mountains ring, Hear the angels cry. Tho' the dove is on the wing You need not know why. Hey, people now, Smile on your brother. Let me see you get together, Love one another right now. Some will come and some will go, We shall surely pass. When the wind that left us here, Returns for us at last. We are but a moment's sunlight, Fading on the grass. Hey, people now, Smile on your brother. Let me see you get together, Love one another right now. Hey, people now, Smile on your brother. Let me see you get together, Love one another right now. If you hear the song I'm singing, You will understand. You hold the key to love and fear, All in your trembling hand. One key unlocks them both, you know, It's at your command.
