I'm headed for the dark
Take shit as shit is
If you can take this town
I say good show
'Cause city hall all are freaks
And the coffee is getting weak

I'm going to make my mark
Maybe in show biz
Maybe on solid ground
I do not know
But I'm thinking all the time
And I'm saving all my dimes

I've seen your picture all over the place
I turn the corner and I see your face
Vehicular billboards reserve you a space
Flashing your smile at the entire human race

I went a ways on the road that I was on
Through many days
Many nights the miles went on
And still the gaze of your faces carried on

I read the slogans of the sloganeer
I smelled the engines of the engineer
I saw the profits of the profiteer
Put up your picture in the stratosphere

I went a ways on the road that I was on
Through many days
Many nights the miles went on
And still the gaze of your faces carried on

I went a ways
On the road that I was on
And still the gaze
Of your faces carried

Through many days
Many nights the miles went on
And still the gaze
Of your faces carried

I went a ways
On the
And still the gaze
Of your faces carried on

There was a well known water master man
He was the king
He could do anything
The Saint Francis Dam disaster man
Thought she was all right
Until around midnight

Because that water seeks her own
She had a desire to flow
She was looking for somewhere to go

She was a slave to the great metropolis
She was feeling choked
She pushed the wall till it broke

When they heard
The great apocalypse
At power house number two
Well there was nothing they could do

Because that water seeks her own
Five and one half hours she would flow
She had fifty-three miles to go

A cascade down to Santa Clara way
Near sixty feet high
Now she's a mile wide
It was clear she was going far away
And whole towns were too
A few got lucky in Piru

Because that water seeks her own
But four more hours she would flow
She had twenty-nine miles to go

She carried in her every kind of thing
House, trees, and telegraph pole
Some say a thousand souls
At three A.M. she gave Santa Paula a ring
She was still twenty-five feet high
Under a peaceful sky

Because that water seeks her own
But two more hours she would flow
She had nineteen miles more to go

It was a real bad night in little Saticoy
El Rio then Montalvo
How many no one really knows
Ventura Beach was very scary boy
Humanity a pile
She went her final mile

Because that water seeks her own
Into the sea the water flowed
And now for forever she would go

Robert leads me into thought
Onion layers wait for you
Bounty of eternal fields
Every muscle knot I feel
Robert tell me what to do
Tell exactly what you're not, yeah

Tails pushing grand whales
Heads hope to have the stuff
Each flag had no sail

Can you believe enough?
And though Diana calls to you
She will never never yield
Every siren has her spot

Four hundred million
Oh that was very far
Robert sweet Onion

Makes me feel so tired
Another layer and layers and layer, oh no
Robert can you find your way?
Show me the way to come

Zugzwang got me in a way
Under my opposing thumb
Brandishing my shield
Robert leads me into thought
Into the dimming blue
Nowhere in this world

For this old Jack-Tar
Three cheers for Robert
To the cinnabar
One ponders

Layers and (x12)

Robert (x3)

Stupid me
I deserve it now I'm standing here all alone
Stupid me
I'm reserving all my thoughts just for her
Now she's gone

She gave me her whole heart
And I threw it away
I'd practice a black art
If I thought she'd come back for just one day oh

Stupid me
I'm reserving all my thoughts just for her
Now she's gone

I don't know what became of
She but I'll pray
She'll find true love
Oh why did I send her away? (x3)
Oh why did I send? (x2)
Oh why did I send her away?

Stupid me
I'm reserving now I'm standing here all alone
Stupid me

Excuse me now I've got a call
I'll take this call from Valhalla
Please tell my friends from outer space
You are my son you'll take my place

And if the revolution comes
I've got some good friends there

Take my place after all you are my son
You take the moon and I'll take the sun
By the way if the revolution comes
Please take my rifles and take my guns
A single bullet loaded in each one

And if you don't like my melody
I'll sing it in a major key
I'll sing it very happily
Yeah, but if everybody is all aboard
Let's take it back to that minor chord

You are my son, you'll take my place
Please tell my friends from outer space
I'll take this call from Valhalla
Excuse me now I got a call

I've got some good friends there
Revolution comes
A single bullet loaded in each one
Please take my rifles and take my guns

And by the way, if the revolution comes
Take my rifles, take my guns
You take my place because you are my son

Excuse me now I'll take the sun
I'll take my place in Valhalla
And if the revolution comes
Please take my guns

Hermaphroditos is my name
Whatcha playing?
Hermaphroditos is my name
Worship me
Hermaphroditos is my name
Why are you saying?
Hermaphroditos is my name

How do you love me
Deeply with your scalpel?
I got a mouthful
Of suicidal drugs
I am a dog
I am a sculpture
You hate my features
You name me for a God

Hermaphroditos is my name
Whatcha playing?
Hermaphroditos is my name
Worship me
Hermaphroditos is my name
Why are you saying?
Hermaphroditos is my name

Forget you yin
And go fuck your yang
It seems that you rang
And it seems I'm only answering

Remember when
I was almost ready?
But it was then
That I was gone already

And I'm still around
But who wants to listen
To my voice in
Your prison?

Hermaphroditos is my name
Whatcha playing?
Hermaphroditos is my name
Worship me
Hermaphroditos is my name
Why are you saying?
Hermaphroditos is my name

You stared a while
Then said to me
Give me a smile
And aren't you having fun?

Stood in my path
Down in the street
I wouldn't laugh
And you looked so stunned

I think you
Had no clue

I will be blue
Like a hermit in its shell
Like Jesus Christ on the hill
I'll be blue
I'll be blue

We had a drink
I sang some songs
You had to think
I didn't know my place at all

Please pardon me
For these my wrongs
And I will leave
But I won't put your party face on

I'll be blue
I will be blue

I will be blue
Like the reign of mastodon
Like the alleys of old Lyon
I'll be blue
I'll be blue

Llano-Llano (x3)

Going out to Llano
Llano del Rio
Try to find utopia
In the stucco grids and the tumbleweeds

You got to love that pearblossom
It'll kill you just like possum
Have you been to the rock foundations?
Where it's mostly known just for the speed

Llano-Llano (x3)

Going out to Llano
Going out to look for Aldous Huxley
There between the power lines
And the purple flowers of mescaline

If you really want to
You can practice esperanto
But in the land of pronto
The wind it tastes like gasoline

Llano-Llano (x3)

Going out to Llano
Llano del Rio [x4]

Some call it the ribbon
Some say the white line
I say truckstop living
Well it suits me fine

Every day of the week (x2)

We heard some other fellers talking
I think it's going to be a good fight
Tonight the radio is rocking
I'm going to hear my favorite song

If it takes all night (x5)

I'm going to wash my favorite shirt
In downtown Marseilles
It's got the same old dirt
From up in Calais, oh oh

How many days and weeks? (x2)

Now every job it is important
But still sometimes the money's right
I saw the ghost of Johnny Horton
He said we're going to make el paso

If it takes all night (x8)

I lost my favorite cook
He left little Siam
For many years I looked
He said here I am, oh oh

Every day of the week (x2)

Some got to go and see their mama
Some got to play a show tonight
I got to go and see my baby
When next I sleep I'll be with her

If it takes all night (x16)

Where the water glows
Where the water glows
Bluish all in black
Where the forest grows

I want to go back (x2)

Let the moody out
Let the moody out
Ugly mood in you
Open up your mouth

Kill it with your shoe (x2)

If your heart is sad
If your heart is sad
Give your dog a bone
See her in the sand

This is your new home (x4)

Under the stars each night,
I wonder do stairs go there?
I'm lonely driving behind the wheel,
Can't get no where.
I can't seem to get it right.
I'm only just a man of steel.

...Is there a place?

And under the stars tonight,
I wonder if someone cares.
I'm lonely, that's the way I feel
Can't feel no stairs.
I've gotten a real ad-heist
I'm only just a man of steel.

...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.
...There is a place.

I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
Dancing the beta can-can
Making me foreign
Oh yeah

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
No not the one in South California
They got one in South Patagonia

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
They got a bunch down in Moleville
They got a bunch more still

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
They got one in twenty-five two five
Works just like a beehive

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
Counting helicopters on saturday night
The symphony of the fair light

I hear saying Los Angeles
In all the black and white movies
And if you think they Star-Spangled us
How come we say Los Angeleez?

I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way

I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
He got a betatron man
Talking that foreign
Oh yeah

I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way

I had so many problems
And then I got me a Walkman
I really liked it a lot, and
They walked right in and they solved them
They walked right in and they solved them

I heard Ramona sing
And I heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing

Ramona
There were moments in the night
It was all right
There were moments in the night

I heard Ramona sing
And I heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona

I don't care if they're real or they're pseudo
I don't care if they get any higher
I hope if someone retires
They pull another Menudo
They pull another Menudo
They pull another Menudo
They pull another Menudo

There are moments in the night
It is all right
There are moments in the night

I hear Raniona sing
And I hear everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona

I know so many people
Who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads
And stay in the safety zone

But what can you tell them?
What can you say that won't make them defensive?
So...

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day
And waste all their thoughts at night

But how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
So...

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

And how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

You heard about
A criminal man of virtue
Is there any doubt
His minimal strands would suit you?

Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
I'll never lose
My Fu manchu, my fu manchu

Let them grow out
In time you'll feel so better
The vanishing pout
Now youre a real go-getter

Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
I'll never lose
My Fu manchu, my fu manchu

Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
Occidentally tic-tac
Occidentally tic-tac

Beyond below above
A gravity that slumbers
At the center of
Places named after numbers
A different kind of love

She was right
She was right there
She was right there all the time
Collapsing all the way

And though it seems from here
That she was never there
Light beams disappear
Into her blackened hair
I wonder if they reappear

She was right
She was right there
She was right there all the time
Collapsing all the way

Time
If he could travel time
He would have been on time
Instead of making rhyme
He didn't need a band
He was a mountain man

Oil
The national turmoil
They hide it in the soil
A singer and his spoil
Just singing thanks
I've got my own gas tanks

And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bars
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called Czar

Blue
Extraodinary blue
Ten million porthole views
They're saying on the news
The Russians just said "No.
You can't go."

And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bars
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called Czar

I hung around
On the planet Mabel
She tried to stand
But she was not able

She tried to find the truth
She tried to colonize space
She only had a few
But it was a good race

Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning
Old black dawning

I'm always happy to
Go down to old Tucson
After you had your fun
It's time to move on

I've got a favorite story
About the Tower of Babel
Some say it's true
And some say it's a fable

Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning
Old black dawning
