I've seen fire and I've seen rain 2 (Part 1)

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines

It’s dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in

Oh man,
Look what the cat drug in
It’s got the dress, tho the color’s gone
That I gave my one true love on
Oh man, look what the wind blew home

Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on, it will always be
True love, true love

Bing Crosby-Grace Kelly

Sharin’ horizons that are new to us
Watchin’ the signs along the way
Talkin’ it over, just the two of us
Workin’ together day to day
Together

I’m just sittin’ here watchin’ the wheels go 'round and ‘round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer ridin’ on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

I’m not looking for girls or cheap thrills and pills
Or happy to sit on your merry-go-round, no no no
I don’t think there’s an easy way out of here
But when the music is loud, we all get down

Every day, nirvana
Always this way, always this way, yeah
I wish that every day was like nirvana
Always this way

What’s that in the sky now?
Teapots that can fly now
Voices in your head
Tell me what they said

Banana, nirvana, mañana (you know)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (I know)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (we know)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (who knows)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (you know)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (I know)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (we know)
Banana, nirvana, mañana (who knows)

:blush:got it in!

Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase
They call it mellow yellow (Quite rightly)

Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got 'til it’s gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved through the middle
By a government that had no pride

The farms of Ohio
Have been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls

Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
In my little town

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

The stars at night are big and bright

Ever catch a falling star
Ain’t no stopping ‘til it’s in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle goin’ 'round and 'round

I can’t look at the stars,
They make me wonder where are
Stars, Up on heavens boulevard

If I know you at all, I know you’ve gone too far,
So, I can’t look at the stars

You’re a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china-blue

Incidentally, ‘china blue’ is a specific medium-dark shade blue. It is PANTONE 18-3918 TPX or hexidecimal code 365194.

In play —

There are
White lies in her blue eyes,
Goodbye is on the way.
White lies in her blue eyes,
Evil’s the game she plays.
