Too many mountains and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time
It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undone
There’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go around
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head.
Inside outside, leave me alone
Inside outside, nowhere is home
Inside outside, where have I been?
Out of my brain on the 5:15
Out of my brain on the train
I was feelin’ . . . so bad,
I asked my family doctor just what I had,
I said, “Doctor, . . .
(Doctor . . .)
Mr. M.D., . . .
(Doctor . . .)
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me,
What’s ailin’ me?”
(Doctor . . .)
He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yes, indeed, all you really need . . .
(Is good lovin’)
Gimme that good, good lovin . . .
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just dropped in
To see what condition
My condition was in.
I was last in my class
Barely passed at the institute
Now I’m trying to avoid
Yeah, I’m trying to avoid a malpractice suit
Hey, like a surgeon
Cuttin’ for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my line
Help me out! Dig!
All I do is grunt and groan
Hurts me to walk anywhere
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones
He took my trousers off, told me to cough
Doctor says there ain’t nothin’ to discuss
He tells me any day I might have to wear a truss
Living with a hernia
All the time, such aggravation
Living with a hernia
Gonna be my ruination
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation
Feel so old
Well, I went to the doctor
I said, “I’m feeling kind of rough”
He said, “I’ll break it to you, son”
“Let me break it to you, son”
Your shit’s fucked up."
I said, “my shit’s fucked up?”
Well, I don’t see how-"
He said, “The shit that used to work-
It won’t work now.”
I’m roasted,
I’m so fucking roasted,
I only got two hours of sleep.
I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink
I’m so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no.
I’m so tired, I don’t know what to do
I’m so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
I’ve been with 1000’s of men
Again and again
They promise the moon
They always coming and going
Going and coming
And always too soon
Right girls?
I’m tired
Tired of playing the game
Ain’t it a crying shame
I’m so tired!
I recall the tune that I sang to the moon and it seemed to make it smile.
And I rode away at the close of day and I stayed so long awhile.
But I long to be where the memory is ringing.
One more ride…
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It’s nearly 1 AM and here am I
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
Gotta get me home before the mornin’ light
It’s two a.m.
The fear has gone
I’m sitting here waitin’, the gun’s still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of taking chances
Yeah there’s a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
Cannot decode my whole life spins into a frenzy
It’s quarter to three,
There’s no one in the place 'cept you and me
So set ‘em’ up joe
I got a little story I think you oughtta know
Easy to poke yourself square in the eye
Harder to like yourself, harder to try
These are espouses, postcards and Neoprene
Roses, a dollar a stem
Everyone sleeping or pulling a long haul
The keys in the cooler it’s three a.m.
And Saturn is beckoning no one
Is off on it’s own
It’s offering up
When a Broadway baby says “Good night,”
It’s early in the morning.
Manhattan babies don’t sleep tight until the dawn:
Good night, baby,
Good night, milkman’s on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let’s call it a day,
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there´s always magic in the air
But when you´re walkin´ down the street
And you ain´t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you´re nowhere
I had so much to give,
So much hope, we held each other high.
But the heroes are gone,
And all that’s left is you and me.
I learned the hard way,
That life should be easy,
But I want you to know it was hard to show,
The things that I know now.
And all that’s left is you and me,
And here we are,
Nowhere.
