I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain 3

Oh, I knew we was calling in love
Yes, I did, so I told her all the things I’ve been dreaming of
Now we’re together nearly every single day, singing
Doo wa diddy diddy dum diddy doo
We’re so happy, and that’s how we’re gonna stay, singing
Doo wa diddy diddy dum diddy doo
Well, I’m hers (I’m hers)
She’s mine (She’s mine)
I’m hers, she’s mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

Out of play:

I still remember the first time my sister and I heard this song. It was on an oldies station on a road trip. When we heard the “wedding bells” line, we both cheered.

She is mine

Some people are dancing
And some fall in love
To the music of military tunes
Fall in love
You have to be crazy to stay in this place
You just have to get out of it all

She is mine

They’re making up things
That we’ve all heard before
Like romance and engage in divorce
Fall in love
You have to be crazy to stay in this place
You just have to laugh at it all

Ha ha ha

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you’re on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking

You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time, so

And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don’t belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong
'Cause I missed you
Yeah, yeah, I missed you

“You never seem to hear” she smiled
Statues tiptoe for a glimpse of the child
The lawns are always lush and wild
Spacious floors bejeweled and tiled

“How are you getting home?” she laughed
Mermaids drowned but I clung to the raft
It’s just the water in the bath
An interlude for the busy staff

"God bless Mommy, I know that’s right,
And wasn’t it fun in the bath tonight,
The cold’s so cold and the hot’s so hot.
God bless Daddy, I quite forgot.

Dearest Faddah
Darling Muddah
How’s my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

And it’s too early to tell
Like a summer camp from hell
Give me a second, it’s really not that important

I’m not kidding when I say that I’m a bit exhausted
With myself and the way I keep closing off my options
Oh, you know?
When you fight the hydra another head grows. You know?
You start to get impatient

I’m so tired, I’m feeling so upset
Although I’m so tired I’ll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git

So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you, keeping me waiting, all of the time
What can I do?

Time after time, I sit and I wait for your call
I know I’m a fool, but what can I say?
Whatever the price, I’ll pay
For you, Madame Blue

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You’re wondering if I’m okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)
And the drum beats out of time

If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
Time after time

Now the time has come (Time)
There’s no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I’ve been loved and put aside (Time)
I’ve been crushed by tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame (fame) lets him lose hard to swallow
Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)

We made the world believe we didn’t care
We gate crashed parties and just stood and stared
We moved to London and stayed in all year
Standing next to you I disappear

You made a choice for us to live it up
I’ve got a voice inside me saying give it up
Let’s get out of here, let’s find a new career
You be famous, and I’ll disappear

I erase myself again

Well we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn’t have a doggone dime
I says Pig Pen this here’s the Rubber Duck
We just ain’t a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin 98
I said let them truckers roll,
Ten-Four.

So I signed my name on number 24, yeah
Yeah, the judge said, "Boy, just one more
“We’re gonna throw your ass in the city joint”
Looked me in the eye, said, “You get my point?”
I said, “Yeah!”

Write me up a one-twenty-five
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, and all that jive
I can’t drive 55!

“Kids, this-piece-of-paper’s-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-

forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we had
fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there,
and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it
down there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down the
pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the
other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on
the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the
following words:

Kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?

Nirvana is a psychological state of mind.
It’s not a place like heaven and it’s not something that’s not here,
It IS here, in the middle of the raging turmoil.
It is the condition that comes when you are not compelled by
Desire, or by fear, or by your social commitments
When you hold your centers and act out of there

He said "I dance
"Now at every chance
"In honky-tonks
"For drinks and tips
"But most the time
"I spend behind
"These county bars
“'Cause I drink a bit.”
