You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend When I was down You just stood there grinning You got a lotta nerve To say you gota helping hand to lend You just want to be on The side that's winning You say I let you down You know it's not like that If you're so hurt Why then don't you show it You say you lost your faith But that's not where it's at You had no faith to lose And you know it I know the reason That you talk behind my back I used to be among the crowd You're in with Do you take me for such a fool To think I'd make contact With the one who tries to hide What he don't know to begin with You see me on the street You always act surprised You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" But you don't mean it When you know as well as me You'd rather see me paralyzed Why don't you just come out once And scream it No, I do not feel that good When I see the heartbreaks you embrace If I was a master thief Perhaps I'd rob them And now I know you're dissatisfied With your position and your place Don't you understand It's not my problem I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is To see you |

So you want to be a rock and roll star? Then listen now to what I say Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play And with your hair swung right And your pants too tight It's gonna be all right Then it's time to go downtown Where the agent man won't let you down Sell your soul to the company Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware And in a week or two If you make the charts The girls'll tear you apart The price you paid for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane The money, the fame, and the public acclaim Don't forget who you are You're a rock and roll star |

Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship All my senses have been stripped And my hands can't feel to grip And my toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fade On to my own parade cast your dancin' spell my way I promise to go under it Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you |

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes And then realized it was still dark outside It was a light coming down from the sky I don't know who or why Must be those strangers that come every night Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark I hope they get home all right {Refrain} Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along for a ride Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared Over my window, they'd written my name Said, so long, we'll see you again {Refrain twice} |

Eight miles high and when you touch down You'll find that it's stranger than known Signs in the street that say where you're going Are somewhere just being their own. Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground Rain gray town known for its sound In places small faces unbound Round the squares huddled in storms Some laughing some just shapeless forms Sidewalk scenes and black limousines Some living some standing alone |

Always alone never with a herd Prettiest mare I've ever seen You'll have to take my word I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can And when I do I'll give her my brand Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare I'd been chasin' her for weeks Oh, I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while Takin' her meal, or bathin A fine lady This one day I happened to be real close to her I saw her standin' over there So I snuck up to her nice and easy And I got my rope out And I flung it in the air I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can And when I do I'll give her my brand And we'll be friends for life She'll be just like a wife I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can Well I got her, and I'm pullin' on her, she's pullin' back like a mule goin' up a ladder I take this chance and I jump up on her Damned if I don't land right on top of her Well she takes off, runnin' up on to that ridge Higher than I've ever been before She's runnin' along just fine, till she stops Something spooked her It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike She doesn't know what to do for a second But then she jumps off the edge Me holding on Above the clouds Higher than eagles were gliding Suspended in the sky Over the moon Straight for the sun we were riding My eyes were filled with light Behind us black walls Below us a bottomless canyon Floating with no sound Gulls far below Seemed to be suddenly rising Exploding all around I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can-acapo |

See the sun how bright it is
It never was before See the sun it shines right through My door but no ones's there I see warm smiles I never gave Reflecting in the air All the things I want today All the things I wasted on the way See the earth how sweet it smells I don't know how it feels See the earth it slips beneath My heels as I pass thru I see tears that I never shed In every drop of dew All the things I want today All the things I wasted on the way Hear the skies singing songs I could have played Too busy talking to prove that I was not afraid See this dried up broken straw It's turning to rot See this dried up broken straw Forgotten left behind I see things that I never done A blowing in the wind All the things I want today All the things I wasted All the things I want today All the things I wasted All the things I want today All the things I wasted on the way |

When you meet someone that you don't know
But you know them just the same You begin wondering if by chance it might be An acquaintance from yesterday's train Well there's something in her eyes that you've seen before Maybe a memory or a mistress from another world But you know the trees are green and the baby cries From dust to dust, yet nothing dies You'll never know where we are in this endless place Or who we are in this endless space But we know that the trees are green and the baby cries From dust to dust, yet nothing dies Yesterday's is rollin', can you touch it through the mist Did you meet someone on yesterday's train Can you tell it with a kiss Can you tell it with a kiss |

I'm a hungry planet I had a youthful face They were in a hurry To go to outer space They needed bombs and tungsten Ore and iron too So they climbed and they dug and they blew Divided me right in two I'm a hungry planet Orbiting in the sky The things they did to hurt me Pass on by and by Now here I am all alone They never ever learn Well I had to shake and quake And make their houses burn I'm a hungry planet I had the bluest seas Oh the people kept choppin' down All my finest trees Poisonin' my oxygen Diggin' into my skin Takin' more out of my good earth Than they'll ever put back in I'm a hungry planet |

If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason If all I was was passing time, my life was just a season Dares and dreams and silly schemes and fillies running freely I was young and no song was sung that didn't sound appealing I'd have my fun with a shy girl and maybe hop a train And I'd look back at her standing in the rain Dirty hands and root beer stands and money like a river Making deals to see how it feels to get more than you're giving I'd have my fun with a gamblin man and bluff him with my face And it's drinks for everybody in the place If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason If all I was was passing time my life was just a season If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason If all I was was passing time my life was just a season Shouting crowds and mummer's shrouds and people going crazy Always said what was in their heads it surely was amazing I had my fun in the bull ring and never got a scar It really wasn't hard to be a star If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason If all I was was passing time my life was just a season |

Starlight crossed my eyes she took me by surprise

When I awake you will be gone
Shady tomorrow I want to go where will you be So I'll stay home letting my hair grow long And I will be waiting for you While fire burns summer is gone Winter is sorrow And time don't mean nothing to me When only the owls (hours??) listen to hear my songs And I will be walking in dew And I will be waiting for you Some people say love goes away Not mine A rose is left for your cheeks I will borrow And find a place for you to see A sash of blue tells me your love is strong Each spring my life, starting anew And I will be waiting for you |

I've been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
Drunk and dirty, don't you know And I'm still' willin' And I was out on the road late at night Seen my pretty Alice in ev'ry headlight Alice Dallas Alice And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tournapaw I've driven ev'ry kind of righ that's ever been made Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed And if you give me weed, whites, and wine And you show me a sign, I'll be willin' to be movin' Kicked by the wind, dropped by the sleet Had my mead stoved in, but I'm still on my feet And I'm still (In a whole lot of trouble) Smuggled some smokes, some folks from Mexico Baked by the sun ev'ry time I go to Mexico And I'm still And I've been |

Crimson flames tied through my years
Flowing high and mighty trapped Countless fire and flaming roads Using ideas as my maps We'll meet on edges soon, said I Proud 'neath heated brow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth Rip down all hate, I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull, I dreamed Romantic flanks of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach Sisters fled by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now My guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now |

If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait So I'm going to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will comfort you With another tale to tell You know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well Wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well I was going to confiscate your lace And wrap it up in a sailor's knot And hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours But it was, oh, so hard to tell You know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well Wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well Then you'll remember you're the one Who called on them to call on him To get you your favors done But after every plan had failed There was nothing more to tell You know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well Wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode |
