Well, I used to be a folk singer
Keeping managers alive
When you saw me on a corner and told me I was jive
So I unlocked your mind, you know
To see what I could see
If you guarantee the postage I'll mail you back the key
Well, I woke up in the morning
With an arrow through my nose
There was an Indian in the corner
Tryin' on my clothes

So much younger than today
(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)
I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind
And opened up the doors

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know?
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

 

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Take away your companies
Take away your societies and go
Get me off this backwards ride
Take away your fictitious books

 

See the woman standing in the door
World gone by again and again
See the blisters growing on your feet
Pushed on, pushed on

They had a last supper the day of the beaching
She's a dead ship sailing skeleton crew
The galley is empty, the stove pots are cooling
What's left of the stew?

The time is approaching, the captain moves over
The hangman steps in to do what he's paid for
With the wind down the tide, she goes proud ahead, steaming
And he drives her hard into the shore

So far from the Clyde
Together we ride, we did ride

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me

 

On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on

2 hours ago, Bill from NYC said:

One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, and new eyes
To see the dawn.
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on

Well, I woke up Sunday morning

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad

So I had one more for dessert
