There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (and they’re quite convinced they’re right) They say the oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light But the oaks can’t help their feelings if they like the way they’re made And they wonder why the maples can’t be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream “Oppression!” And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union and demanded equal rights “The oaks are just too greedy…we will make them give us light!” Now there’s no more oak oppression, for they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe and saw ---

All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes Into the night with Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lays alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But Charlotte did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed so close So many other names Sometimes I’m dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I’m dreaming Charlotte sometimes ---

I’ve been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they’re real I’ve been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel Remembering you, standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow And screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage to let it all go ---

Well I’m here looking through an old picture frame Just waiting for the perfect view I hope something special will step in to my life Another fine edition of you A pin-up done in shades of blue Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life The country air and all its joys But badgers couldn’t compensate at twice the price For just another night with the boys oh yeah And boys will be boys, will be boys They say love’s a gamble, hard to win, easy lose And while sun shines you’d better make hay So if life is your table and fate is the wheel Then let the chips fall where they may In modern times the modern way And as I was drifting past the Lorelei I heard those slinky sirens wail, whooo So look out sailor when you hear them croon You’ll never been the same again oh no Their crazy music drives you insane, this way ---
