I've seen fire and I've seen rain.

I’ve got my clipboard, text books
Lead me to the station
Yeah, I’m off to the civil war
I’ve got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I’m runnin’ in the rain
Gonna run till my feet are raw

Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble
Slip over here and set me free
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
You’re slidin’ down the hill like me
No easy way to be free

Last night me and Kate, we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I’m thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel, and said
“Son take a good look around
This is your hometown.”

What is it like to eat and drink for a long time?
Их л удаан идэж уугаад наргиж цэнгээд хачин юм бэ юу вэ юу вэ юув

Father and father were born in Mongolia
Эцэг өвгөд Монгол гээд л цээжээ

what’s the lie of a lie?
дэлдэн худлаа орилох нь юу вэ юу вэ юув

Return and speak in his words
Эргэж буцаад хэлсэн үгэндээ эзэн

what does it do?
болдоггүй андгай өргөдөг нь юу вэ юу вэ юув

A valuable teaching by the parents
Эцэг эхийн захиж хэлсэн үнэт сургааль

What is free, what does it do?
үнэгүй болдог нь юу вэ юу вэ юув, юу вэ юу вэ юув

Say hello
Ээ дүлзэн сөгд сөгд

Get this shotgun up and down
Ээ лүндэн бууг бууг, бууг бууг

When I was born, I was born
Дээдсийн заяаг удамлаж төрчихөөд унтаж

What is it?
хэвтээд сэрдэггүй юм бэ юу вэ юу вэ юув

It’s the only Mongolian in the world
Дэлхийд ганцхан Монгол гээд л амаа

What does it say to lie about to dry?
хаттал худлаа ярьдаг нь юу вэ юу вэ юув

Born in Mongolia
Дээдсээр амьдрах заяанд төрсөн Монгол

what is the unity of unity?
түмэн нэгдэж чаддаггүй нь юу вэ юу вэ юув

The Darkhan drew up Mongolia
Дархан Монгол улсаа мандуулж өөд нь татаж

what does it do?
сэргээж чаддаггүй нь юу вэ юу вэ юув, юу вэ юу вэ юув

Say hello
Ээ дүлзэн сөгд сөгд

Get this shotgun up and down
Ээ лүндэн бууг бууг, бууг бууг

Place of ancestral inheritance
Өвөг дээдсийн өвлөж өгсөн газар

What is it that does not love the earth?
шороог хайрлаж чаддаггүй нь юу вэ юу вэ юув

Predictably, precious stones
Өтгөс буурлын захиж хэлсэн үнэт

what does it mean to be a lie?
сургааль худлаа болдог нь юу вэ юу вэ юув

It’s all over forever
Өнө л мөнхөд мандан бадрах чонон

The Mongols have the seal of the sky
сүлдэт Монгол түмэн тэнгэрийн тамгатай

A man in the world has a name
Хөвчин дэлхийд нэрээ дуурсгах хүмүүн

the sacred worshipers of Chinggis Khan will worship
тахилгат эзэн Чингис нартад залрана, нартад залрана

Please wake up
Ээ хар сүлд сэр сэр

God’s kingdom is eternal and eternal
Ээ хаан төр мөнх манд, мөнх манд

What is what is what is what
Юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ

It’s strange
Хачин юм бэ

what is what is what
юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ

What is what is what is what
Юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ

It’s strange
Хачин юм бэ

what is what is what
юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ юу вэ

Please wake up
Ээ хар сүлд сэр сэр

God’s kingdom is eternal and eternal
Ээ хаан төр мөнх манд, мөнх манд

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up…
Wake up, little Susie
We’ve both been sound asleep…

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme
Der Wächter sehr hoch auf der Zinne
Wach auf, du Stadt Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?

After a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
Poor me Israelites
Poor me Israelites, poor me Israelites, poor me Israelites

Oh, can’t you see the morning after?
It’s waiting right outside the storm
Why don’t we cross the bridge together
And find a place that’s safe and warm?

Well I’m gonna pack my suitcase
Gonna hop right in that car
Don’t worry baby you know I won’t go far
Gonna cross that bridge
And found out what’s going down
New York Town
And once I cross that bridge
You know I’ll never turn around
I’m gonna split this town
Well I’m going to Manhattan
Don’t want no woman trying to hold me down
Gonna cross that bridge
And found out what’s going down
And once I cross that bridge
You know I’ll never turn around

Hey, Pretty baby
Here comes your Daddy down to Little Rock
Hey, Little Rock
I’m going to Little Rock
I may be the only one
But, I’m going
I ain’t sleeping on the couch…

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie, doin’ her act
She had the whole show and that’s a natural fact
Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker’s his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought’s escaping
Home where my music’s playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They’re the first to come and the last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They’ll set it up in another town

The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Well I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer

Catch the Cannonball, coming on down the line
My bag is sinkin’ low
And I do believe it’s time…

I am no better and neither are you,
We are the same whatever we do,
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then,
You can’t figure out the bag I’m in.

I am everyday people…

Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she’s heading for the bedroom chair
It’s just another day
Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It’s just another day
At the office where the papers grow she takes a break
Drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake
It’s just another day

My Baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 til 5
He takes another home again
To find me waitin’ for him…
