She’s got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
I’m a million miles away
A million miles away
I’m just a million miles away
And there’s nothing left to bring me back today
Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I’m five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can’t go back home this-a way
Sun turning round with graceful motion
We’re setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It’s so very lonely
You’re 100 light years from home
Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There’s so much in life to share -
What’s the sense when no one else is there?
Pull me up from deep inside this pillow
Feathers soft I lay my head in sorrow
There’s caverns dark and then there’s eyes that stare
And I hear fingers snapping but there’s no one there…
Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under I’m not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
(y’all were jsut beggin’ for it)
Branching off, the road winds east
Deluxe locations just near completion
Come dine with wine, an oyster feast
The pearls are real, have one for free
They’re washed up by the foam waved sea
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried
And still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
I should have guessed that you’d stand me up
Why did I even go, now
And I guess it goes to show
The snow may well thaw out, but it
Goes right down the drain
You left me standing in the rain
I should have known you’d bid me farewell
There’s a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now, I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it’s all the same to me
Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum
I’m a brass band,
I’m a harpsichord;
I’m a clarinet!
I’m the Philadelphia Orchestra,
I’m the Modern Jazz Quartet!
I’m the band from Macy’s Big Parade.
A wild Count Basie blast!
The other night I dreamt a nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right? Right
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They’d never fight again
Everybody’s talkin’ 'bout ministers, sinisters
Banisters and canisters, bishops and fishops
Rabbis and pop eyes, bye bye, bye byes
All we are saying, is give peace a chance
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout a new way of walkin’
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don’t matter if it’s gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
