Well, my wife returns from taking My little girl to school. She’s got beads of perspiration, As she tries to keep her cool She says, “Unless it don’t get no better, There’s gonna come a day, Someone’s gonna get killed out there.” And I turn to her and say… “Texas.” She says,“What?” I say, “Texas.” She says, “What?” They’ve got big long roads out there Warm winds blowing, Heating blue skies, And a road that goes forever. I’m going to Texas. ---

Come away, come away, come away with me. Where the grass grows wild and the wind blows free. Come away, come away, come away with me. And I’ll build you a home in the meadow. ---

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye And it looks like it’s climbing right up to the sky ---

Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun, Lived a wise mother lizard and her little lizard one. “Blink,” said the mother. “I blink,” said the one. So they winked and they blinked in the sand, in the sun. ---

Go, Polonius, or kneel. The reapers name their harvest dawn. All your tarnished devil’s spoons Will rust beneath our corn. Now bears Prince Rupert’s garden roam Across his rain tree shaded lawn. Lizard bones become the clay, And there a swan is born Wake your reason’s hollow vote. Wear your blizzard season coat. Burn a bridge and burn a boat. Stake a lizard by the throat. ---

Lions in the street and roaming Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming A beast caged in the heart of a city The body of his mother Rotting in the summer ground He fled the town He went down South and crossed the border Left the chaos and disorder Back there over his shoulder One morning he awoke in a green hotel With a strange creature groaning beside him Sweat oozed from its shiny skin Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin ---

Regrets, I’ve had a few But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exception. I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway. And more, much more than this, I did it my way. ---

Don’t tell me not to live just sit and putter, Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butter, Don’t bring around a cloud to rain on my parade. Don’t tell me not to fly, I’ve simply got to If someone takes a spill It’s me and not you. who told you you’re allowed to rain on my parade? ---

And now, every April, I sit on my porch, And I watch the parade pass before me. I see my old comrades, how proudly they march, Renewing their dreams of past glories. I see the old men all tired, stiff and worn, Those weary old heroes of a forgotten war. And the young people ask “What are they marching for?” And I ask myself the same question. And the band plays “Waltzing Matilda” And the old men still answer the call. But year after year, their numbers get fewer. Someday, no one will march there at all. ---

When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen I might not be the same, but that’s not important No freedom til we’re equal, damn right I support it. DOMA dead… About time we raised up. ---
