“Nothing or no one will ever Make me let you down” Kiss them for me, I may be delayed Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed On the road to New Orleans A spray of stars hit the screen As the 10th impact shimmered The forbidden candles beamed Kiss them for me, I may be delayed Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed Kiss them for me, kiss them for me Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed ---

Coming in from London from over the poll Flyin’ in a big airliner Chickens flyin’ everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer? Comin’ into Los Angeles Bringin’ in a couple of keys Don’t touch my bags if you please, mister customs man There’s a guy with a ticket to Mexico No, he couldn’t look much stranger Walkin’ in the hall with his things and all Smilin’ said he was the Lone Ranger Comin’ into Los Angeles Bringin’ in a couple of keys Don’t touch my bags if you please, mister customs man ---

“Columbia now nine times the speed of sound.” “Roger that, Dan, I’ve got a solid TACAN locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three.” “The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned trajectory are all one line on the block” “Roger your block decoded recorded” Hello, Earth. Hello, Earth. With just one hand held up high I can blot you out, Out of sight. Peek-a-boo, Peek-a-boo, little Earth. With just my heart and my mind I can be driving, Driving home, And you asleep On the seat. I get out of my car, Step into the night And look up at the sky. And there’s something bright, Traveling fast. Just look at it go! Just look at it go! ---

I overheard the elders telling each other stories About the days when they were young Back on Planet Earth I wish to learn the secrets of those who lived before me So I program my computer For a flight to Planet Earth Blue skies, over the oceans Sail on the wind to the valley below Rise high over the hills To where the wildflowers grow And I ride, ride, ride the waves of time Fly, fly, fly beyond the sky We’ve abandoned all emotions, whether good or bad Up here in this station Far from Planet Earth I can’t tell if I’m happy I don’t know if I’m sad But I do know I’d have been at home Back on Planet Earth Black clouds, over the debris storm Is raging over the land No life left on this planet Now you will understand And I ride, ride, ride the waves of time Fly, fly, fly beyond the sky ---

It’s a long way home from the Field of Mars Distant, alone, beneath the platinum stars And I turn to look, but I’m never any closer Only just the rain makes the skin feel colder All my life seems so far away All my life seems so far away The air is soft in the Field of Mars Tears are lost to feed the overgrown grass And I have to leave, but I never seem to go Only more sad clouds where autumn winds will blow All my dreams seem so long ago All my dreams seem so long ago Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Time is past in the Field of Mars Grief won’t last in the departing cars And I call her name, but she never, ever hears And I call again to the cruelty of the years Oh my love she’s so far away Oh my love she’s so far away Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars Oh, Field of Mars ---

It’s so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day And talk about the home town a million miles away Is the ice still on the river, are the old folks still the same? And by the way, did she mention my name? Did she mention my name just in passing? And when the morning came, do you remember if she dropped a name or two Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all the games? And by the way, did she mention my name ? ---

Took a ride, I went downtown The streets were empty, there was no one around To place that we used to know Been all the places that we used to go I’m at the wrong end of your looking glass Just trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you And there was nothing left to bring me back I was a million miles away A million miles away I’m just a million miles away And there’s nothing to bring me back today Bring me back today, bring me back today I started drifting to a different place I realized, falling off the face of the world And there was nothing left to bring me back I was a million miles away… ---

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train And I’s feeling nearly as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained It rode us all the way to New Orleans I pulled my harp from and my dirty red bandanna I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby’s hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free, now now And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, You know feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord I let him slip away He’s looking for that home and I hope he finds it But I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holding Bobby’s body next to mine Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing, that’s all that Bobby left me, yeah But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee ---

Michael holds a block of chalk in his hands Carving through the dust the somber face of a man Bobby from next door never sees the art at all He just grabs the chalk and he draws 'til the face is gone Michael is Dreaming On Longing to be seen by the world Knowing his will is strong To become something more than unknown Michael packs his life and goes off to school Searching for the skills to free his creative muse His collection grows, he begins to show his art Critics turn his work into words that lack all heart Michael is Dreaming On Longing to be seen by the world Knowing his will is strong To become something more than unknown Unknown… Dreams can change, grow, and fade Dreams can change… Michael is older now, he owns a cafe’ Calls it “Angelo’s” to honor an idol’s name He displays his art alongside young artist’s dreams Shares his sage advice as he serves coffee and cream Michael is Dreaming On Though it’s changed Michael has reached his goal Michael is now well-known As he sculpts many young artists’ souls Sculpts souls… ---

[In honor of tonight’s total lunar eclipse] My spirit is crying for a love so tired of being alone I remember he came here to steal, and you are his stealer of souls I see a black moon rising, and it’s calling out my name Oh it’s calling my name I’ve been blinded, lost and confused, darkness will call me no more Heaven is no friend of mine, no god ever knocked on my door I see a black moon rising, and it’s calling out my name It’s calling out my name, it’s calling I’m standing on the dark side of time reaching for the power of her hand She’s weaving an unholy light and calls from Lucifer’s land I see a black moon rising, and it’s calling out my name An angel of hell is rising, heaven’s no friend of mine I see a black moon rising, and it’s calling out my name I see a black moon rising, and it causes so much pain ---
