goodbye money goodbye money
every single thing I remember
between me and you
the way you said I hate you
the way you tore away
but I don't mind I love you
you'll never have to pay
cuz you're the one I turn to
every single day
I remember I remember you
all the games we played
the cornbread and the festival
and all the rainy days
morning and evening and sunrise and autumn
all the days and all the nights
and all the boys who want to fight
and all the people speaking into telephones
speaking into cars
and all the poison and cartography
everything we are
I'll be there when you need me
oh yes
I remember when I try
how many more are gonna die
I remember everything
what the hell were you doing it's your problem
Will you believe me if I say it's true
all your crazy life
you were always a boogaloo
and some day you'll know it
I hope it's not to late
that would be too bad
I remember when I try
how many more are gonna die

It's hard on this planet
of granite and gray
and whoever planned it
to make it ok
to drop bombs on us all
and make pawns of us all
and lock us away
While we're watching
and wondering
and trying not to go insane
while it all goes up in flame
Waiting for the bombs to fall
Trying to make the best of it al
while we're waiting
Waiting for the bombs to fall
Waiting for the ship to crash
trying to hold on to some cash
while we're waiting
waiting for the bombs to fall
I walked into Cambridge
a long time ago
right over the same bridge
with Robinson Crusoe
It was wonderful
to be young and alive
right up to 35
and still they were wheeling and dealing
and fighting to be number one
while the wars went on and on

Photographing Berries

the dew that falls in spring
the shine of everything
soft rain
mother and father
why do we bother
Holy Night
rise up laughing and photographing berries
till the day we fly away (merry merry merry)
a transitory fool
the light and horrid cruelty of nature
and armies and failures again
I'll never be twenty again
I'll be the shining star
I wonder where you are
me too
the people and the birds
and all the funny things
I'm dying I'm trying
rise up laughing etc
and changes
the dew that never comes
the flood that runs and runs and runs
scat
it's over now
Goodbye

(Rat, rat trap)
It's lugubrious with slime
slime lugubrious with slime
history's a mousetrap I'm on fire
it's crazy sometimes
hold the line all the time
like a dream that wont come true
like a year without you
I'm starving on the vine
personality junction severed function
It's hard to grow up
hold the line all the time
take the city train and blow your mind
you better watch the way they talk to you
take a walk and watch the wire
I'm on fire all the time
walking walking walk
talking talking talking all the time
everything's mine
like a dream that wont come true
like a year with out you
I"m starving on the vine
hold the line all the time
solo
like a dream that won't come true
like a year without you
I'm starving on the vine
talking talking talk
walking walking all the time
everything is mine
oh oh oh oh
life

lyrics
a long time ago in a faraway place somebody gave me a ride
he said the closer you get to the end of the race
the happier you'll be that you've tried
and all of these people who don't want me around
I hope they all go straight to hell
and newspaper taxies don't work any more
and somebody's not feeling well
Chorus
and I'm gonna make up for lost time
work on this thing till it shines
you can keep all your money and overworked lines
I'm on this train till it's mine
I sat and I waited for most of the day but you never showed up at all
finally I got up and just walked away
I've seen enough of your ball
and all of these people who don't want me around
I hope they all go straight to hell
and time in this vicious world's nobody's dream
and I'm getting older and older and I want to
Chorus
I"m on this train till I die
Everybody has to die I've heard
I guess that's ok, all we do is mess up the world
oh

If Only/ Fly Away

If only we were machines we could take it
We wouldn't have to feel a thing
if only there was no one else I could make
I wouldn't have to do things the way they do
I go to sleep every day
I thank God it's ok
I thank God I'm a fool for you
29 and 41 is 80
7 wasted years with me
You could take me down and hate it
oh oh
If I could fly away
If I could fly away
If I could fly away
I would I would....

My life is a lost object
I sail through trouble and trouble and lose my purse
I'm bent over double and it only gets worse
and then the sun shines, the grass grows
We tumble down the hill of free will
Free will is dangerous, dangerous indeed
I'm freed to do whatever I choose
to lose and win and say goodbye
Ours is but to try and try and try again
Remember when you met me
it was heaven

get so scared bein all alone don't know what's gonna happen

let it rain rain rain rain rain rain rain some more

Walking down for Moses one more for Mack
Walking them all on the same old track
Hey Amadeus, calling 99
Everything's so crazy, too hard too hard
Let it rain

People of illumination, lighted by a spark from above
Live in love love love, love has many forms
Gimme a night raid night raid
fallin off the bed
some day I'm gonna be dead
