poor little negro. sitting in a tree. eating his favorite. cocoa leaves. along came some fellows. takin' him away. take away his culture. put him on a plane.
Maybe you won't have to hit me again. Maybe you won't try to slap me for lying. I did what you heard and I can admit. That I'd do it again in a second tomorrow.
Lost in the eyes. Back through the eyes. Where the simmering rain. Has come boiling over again. . Locked in a cage. Down in the cave. Where the night never ends.
"It's alive", she said, "It's a dream, a lie". "Come alive, she said, "Come alive, alive". . Oh my God, I must be dreaming. If this is a dream, then why am I screaming?.
The sun is up and beating down. Hot enough to melt the ground. A little water would do us good. . The clouds would help us if they could. They'd send showers of pouring rain.
Thieves have brought us invisible make-up. The fires are growing hypnotically thin. Fish are leading us out of the water. Spineless majesty swallows a grin.
Try to hold it but it vanishes from my hands. Try to swim in it, I wind up on cold sand. Try to cut it but I cannot make the knife go. Try running but my legs are moving too slow.
Every thought's a game. A pack of chimps I cannot tame. You're wondering who to blame. Now your ride has come up lame. . Fortress full of hate. Fears and hopes all pound the gate.
The man laid his hat on the table. Hung his coat up on the wall. Sat down to dinner, said as soon as I am able. I'll say something nice to you all. . Then he took a deck from his pocket.
Once it seemed to be the way things are. now it seems the way that it will be. it's happening to me. it's happening to me. . Once we use to love to lose our minds.
They say the good times are for hire. But not by everyone, everyone. They say the stars are made of fire. They'll light up anyone, anyone. . There must be smoke in my eyes.
You got wings on your fingers. In the middle of a battle. Is a little of the way you talk. And you shine. . You got cobwebs on your halo. In the closet there are skeletons.
She's hot I know. It's good she told me so. It's good she's not. I will she knows. . I don't know what my name is. I don't know anything at all. Anything from A to Z.
I, drawin' on the sunshine, I. I, an X-ray of a dream, I. And a boat that's hauling water. Up the river made of sand. . I, drawin' every mountain, I. I, postcard in my hand, I.
Let me see everything. Let me live forever. Give me wings and show me how. To control the weather. . Give me the mountains. Give me the sea. Build a mighty tower.
Forget yourself, you only wanna be alone. You bought the shelf, you're living like a dusty bone. Gas is high tonight and all the horses flown. . And it's all sewn together this time.
The horizon breaks to pieces. And the mainline is the twilight. And the giant net has a perfect window. Passage through has the ticket screaming. . I want a mind.
Pistachios turn your fingers red. Row your way back home, you know. Roll right into bed. . Pick it up in a week or two. Flags jump out your head. Row your way back home you know.
In some forgettable rhyme. We crawled across the border line. We kissed the enemy till. I thought we traveled out of time. . You couldn't have heard me speak.
c'mon everybody you know what I mean. won't spell it out for you it's so plain. we're gonna play some numbers this you'd better believe. yes we surely are and we're gonna achieve.
