You stand here in my place Feel the warmth upon your face Stand back and start to smile You now have time You now have will I would never want to leave this country Where rules are fast and knowledge easy I would never want to take you with me Unless you’re open And trust my hand I would never wish this much on you When what you have might be enough I would never want to drive that fast Unless you’re ready, willing, happy Take me Away from these simple feelings I know There’s places on the other sides of here Take me Away from these simple feelings I know I’ll take that car and drive there faster ---

Strange shapes light up the night I’ve never seen 'em though I hope I might Don’t ask if they are real The men in black, their lips are sealed Fantasy fills my mind To leave this place before my time Release myself from earthly care My dream may be your nightmare I turn my hopes up to the sky I’d like to know before I die Memories will slowly fade I lift my eyes and say Come on take me away Come on take me away ---

I like to dream, yes, yes Right between the sound machine On a cloud of sound I drift in the night Any place it goes is right Goes far, flies near To the stars away from here Well, you don’t know what We can find Why don’t you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride Well, you don’t know what We can see Why don’t you tell your dreams to me Fantasy will set you free ---

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. ---

I talked to God and god said “Hey! I’ve got a lot of things to say write it down this very day and spread the word in every way.” I talked to God and here¹s the deal: He said to floss between each meal Drive with both hands on the wheel and on the first date don¹t cop a feel I talked to God and God said…nothing special I talked to God and God said…nothing special I talked to God and God said nothing that we shouldn’t already know shouldn¹t already know And talked to God and here’s what he said: “wear a helmet on your head when you ride a bike instead or you’ll crash and end up dead.” I asked God for the Holy Word ageless wisdom never heard He just said to feed the birds love your pets, clean up their turds I talked to God and God said "John, I let them kill my only son and my creation’s so undone that I can’t help out everyone But if you¹re looking for advice you don’t need to ask me twice start with the basics: just be nice and see if that makes things all right ---

And if I only could, I’d make a deal with God, And I’d get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, Be running up that building, Say, if I only could, oh… You, It’s you and me, It’s you and me won’t be unhappy. “C’mon, baby, c’mon darling, Let me steal this moment from you now. C’mon, angel, c’mon, c’mon, darling, Let’s exchange the experience, oh” ---

Well I’ll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that’s not unusual, it’s just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I’d known a couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin’s eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust ---
