I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies
Time it was and what a time it was
I have a photograph.
Preserve your memory
they’re all that’s left you.
Picture book
Pictures of your mama
Taken by your papa a long time ago
Picture book
Of people with each other
To prove they love each other, a long ago
Will you remember the dress that I wore ?
Will you remember my face ?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore ?
This world is a wonderful place.
I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in a crowd
And smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you
And if I walk these streets long enough
Will you happen to me again?
With whom are you sharing
The sweet taste of summer?
My memories pursue you
Like puddles of rain
The river inside me still flows
To the sea of your hands
And if I close my eyes for a while
Will you happen to me again?
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
Superman and Green Lantern ain’t got a-nothin’ on me,
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea,
A-you can just sit there a-thinkin’ on your velvet throne, yes,
About all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own.
Cease to resist giving my goodbye,
Drive my car into the ocean
You’ll think I’m dead, but I sail away
On a wave of mutilation
Feel a bit roughed up, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down some time
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town
Boy, I really get around
Round, ‘round, get around, I get around, yeah,
Get around, ‘round, ‘round, I get around.
From town to town,
(Round, round, get around, I get around)
I’m a real cool head,
(Round, ‘round, get around, I get around)
I’m makin’ real good bread.
Up, down, turn around
please don’t let me hit the ground
tonight I think I’ll walk alone
and find my soul as I go home
Spin spin up and down
Turn turn turn around
Round round roundabout and over again
Gun gun son of a gun
You are the only one
And no one else will take my place
To everything
(turn turn turn)
There is a season
(turn turn turn)
And a time to every purpose
under heaven
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn’t you?
I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
The jukebox was busted
At the bus depot
When Haley’s Comet hit the ground
But still a light is shinning
from the lamp on down the hall
maybe the Star of Bethlehem
wasn’t a star at all
This is my Quest
to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless,
no matter how far
