Buffalo Springfield

Well there goes another day
Now I wonder why
You and I
Keep telling lies
I can't believe that what you say
'cause tomorrows lullaby
can't passify
my lonesome crying
Make believe that's all you know
And to make believe is a game
A child's rein
You've changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
I watched you became
Truth is the shame
Yeah, too much pain

Listen to my bluebird laugh.
She can't tell you why.
Deep within her heart, you see,
She knows only crying.
Just crying.
There she sits, a lofty perch.
Strangest color blue.
Flying is forgotten now.
Thinks only of you.
Just you.
So, get all those blues,
Must be a thousand hues.
And be just differently used.
You just know.
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of those eyes
That you can't categorize.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul!
Do you think she knows you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she's going to fly away.
Sadness is her own.
Reverse of a death of tears
And go home, and go home.

Give herself a bath of tears

The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,
And when it was over it felt like a dream,
They stood at the stage door
and begged for a scream,
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain.
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?

Eighteen years of American dream,
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall.
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall,
His mother had told him a trip was a fall,
And don't mention babies at all.
Did you see him, did you see him?
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?

The streets were lined for the wedding parade,
The Queen wore the white gloves,
the county of song,
The black covered caisson
her horses had drawn
Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn.
They married for peace and were gone.

Been burned and with both feet on the ground,
I've learned that it's painful comin' down.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.

Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down,
Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.

I get up in the morning with a cock-a-doodle-do,
I get myself together if and when I chose.
I'm just buckin time, without a reason or ryme,
Oh what a wonderful way,
to spend a carefree country day
I got to have it that way.

I best get all my chores done, got some friends a commin' by.
There's a lot of country livin in just trying to get by,
I'm just buckin time, without a reason or ryme,
Oh what a wonderful way,
to spend a carefree country day
I got to have it that way.

I make myself a livin' off a haulin' on junk,
A man can live on thrivin from searchin' the dump.
I'm just buckin time, without a reason or ryme,
Oh what a wonderful way,
to spend a carefree country day
I've got to have it that way.

Do I have to come right out and say it?
Tell you that you look so fine
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?

If it was a game I could play it
Tryin' to make it but I'm losin' time
I got to bring you in, you're overworkin' my mind

Indecision is crowding me
I have no room to spare
And I can't believe she'd care
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don't know where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared
Once before

Listen to my song
It isn't very long
You'll see before I'm gone
That everybody's wrong

Those of us who run
To catch a moment in the sun
Seem to find the when we're done
That we weren't supposed to run

And there's to many words going down
Babe wrecking against the walls with the hollow sounds
All about what it's going to be
Yes, you know what it was you see
It ain't million, you and me not a crown

Finding what you sought
After all the time you fought
Sometimes leave's you with the thought
That perhaps you just been caught

Listen to my song
It isn't very long
You'll see before I'm gone
That everybody's wrong

Those of us who run
To catch a moment in the sun
Seem to find the when we're done
That we weren't supposed to run

And there's to many words going down
Babe wrecking against the walls with the hollow sounds
All about what it's going to be
Yes, you know what it was you see
It ain't million, you and me not a crown

Finding what you sought
After all the time you fought
Sometimes leave's you with the thought
That perhaps you just been caught

Look at the sad goodbyes
Every day's a killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say so long
Well well well another day
Well well well another day

Grocery store ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree a Jay Bird looking at me
No word
Everyone looks but can't see
We can't be ignored so easily
Well well well another day
Well well well another day

Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy, the sound of trees
Most anything, what a baby sees

Beautiful face all right
Many a place out of sight
Old woman there with red shoes
a million balloons all hues
Drive over hills forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear
Well well well another day
Well well well another day

There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.

I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowin' it was gone.
If I never lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,
Babe.

Is my world not falling down
I'm in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren't open
And I'm standing on my knees
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me round
I wish I could have met you in a place
Where we both belong
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child
Sometimes I feel like a kid.
But baby, since I have changed
I can't take nothing home.

City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If I'm bright enough to see you,
You're just to dark to care.
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children,
what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey,
what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line,
the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound

Mostly saying, "Hooray for our side"

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "Hooray for our side"

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Paranoia strikes deep

I met two kind people on the road
I was parched and dry from the cold
I've been traveling four days and nights, sir
and I do want to thank you for the ride
and the soup your wife made tasted fine
if it's all the same, I'll be on my way at the next turn
'cause I'm four days gone into running

And my baby is waiting, I hope, sir
After fifteen trucks and an old Ford
and the government madness... I ran away
and I to say, I can't tell you my name
'cause I'm four days gone into running

I can't even go home
Take my baby and run
I got reason to live
I got things I can give

And I'm four days gone into running

You ask me to read this letter
That you wrote the night before
And you really should know better
Now she's worth a whole lot more
chorus:
Brother, you know you can't run away
and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cries,
is that why
You won't go and say goodbye
Then you said the fault was yours
When you really were to blame
'Twas as if to close the doors
And to hide away in shame
chorus
Yes, and why, tell me why
Can't you see that it's not right
It's a lie, it's a lie
Don't hide your sorrow in the night
chorus
And you know the pain is double
But for her it's even worse
You must face her with the trouble
'Though it's hurting like a curse

I don't tell no tales about no hot dusty roads
I'm a city boy and I stay at home
I make no excuses I just don't want to roam
And I don't like being alone

I give you loving and a place to take off your shoes
It does surprising things for a case of the blues
It ain’t no club, you don’t have to pay no dues
You just love me and I love you

And if you take some pride
In being alive
If you're interested in looking inside
Of yourself
Just drop on by
Baby ask me why
At least you don't have to be by yourself

Just come knock, most likely I'll be there
Then you look around
Find a comfortable chair
And then you sit, and you might think about
Why he's there, I can't tell you why, only where

Look what's happening to me,
I'm going blind, please help.
There I sat until three,
gettin' further behind myself.
Bymyself.

And I'm hung upside down. (x2)
Hung upside down, said I'm
hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.
Hung upside down.

Someday I will be free,
and there'll be times, you just wait.
I will come to you, see,
what I'll bring you when I get straight,
Oh it's too late.

Upside down on a merry-go-round

Spreading your eyes to see you standing for me

Loving you seems to me worth a try

Your love is something to me
It's like a sweet lullaby
A melody that could only imply
Loving you seems to me worth a try

What in the world did you do
To make me love just you?
What did you do to me?
What you did to me
What did you do to me?

Oh, hello Mr. Soul,
I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught
that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds
just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change,
but a stranger is putting the tease on.

I was down on a frown
when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan
who said I upset her
Any girl in the world
could have easily known me better
She said, You're strange,
but don't change, and I let her.

In a while will the smile
on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown
who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head
and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change?
I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Who's that stomping all over my face
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun
To singing in the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing
Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score
Who's trying to act like he's just in between
The line isn't black, if you know that it's green
Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see
Who's coming on like he wanted to be

And who's coming home on the old nine-to-five
Who's got the feeling that he came alive
Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same
It ain't no gold nugget, you can't lay a claim
Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor
There it is baby, don't you worry no more
Who should be sleepin', but is writing this song
Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong

Who's that stomping all over my face
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun
To singing in the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine

When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane
Like a smoke ring day when the wind blows
Now I won't be back till later on
If I do come back at all
But you know me, and I miss you now
In a strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came
And you had a chance to see through me
Though the other side is just the same
You can tell my dream is real
Because I love you, can you see me now
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you, can you feel it now

When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed

Out of my mind
And I just can't take it anymore
Left behind
By myself and what I'm living for
All I hear are screams from outside the limousines
That are taking me

Out of my mind
Through the keyhole in an open door
Happy to find
That I don't know what I'm smiling for
Tired of hanging on
If you've missed me, I've just gone
Cause they're taking me
Out of my mind

Out of my mind
And I just can't take it anymore
Left behind
By myself and what I'm living for
All I hear are screams from outside the limousines
That are taking me

Out of my mind
Through the keyhole in an open door
Happy to find
That I don't know what I'm smiling for
Tired of hanging on
If you've missed me, I've just gone
Cause they're taking me
Out of my mind

Out of my mind
And I just can't take it anymore
Left behind
By myself and what I'm living for
All I hear are screams from outside the limousines
That are taking me

Out of my mind
Through the keyhole in an open door
Happy to find
That I don't know what I'm smiling for
Tired of hanging on
If you've missed me, I've just gone
Cause they're taking me
Out of my mind

Well I heard the story once before
And I know what the tears are for
That's a lie and I just can buy
You came for me so don't try

And I see another man in your eyes
Yes, and you're old enough to know you can't live lies
Yes, and so I'm telling you just exactly what to do
'Cause you can't have two tastes of advice
Pay the price

And if on another time or place
Another day, another face
I'm telling you babe it's all you know
That one of us should have to go

Listen I know you hate to see me cry
But I have to go and I tell you why
Without your love I can't go on
It's easy and it’s wrong

Like the ghost of someone near
She comes to haunt me in my sleep
Still unable to sincerely
Get her heart away for keeps

Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?

There she leaves me twice as lonely
As I was but yesterday
Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts
So near yet far away

Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?

The minstrel boy has gone to war now
Burdened with his father's sword
Still she doesn't see how she can
Give him peace amidst the horror

Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?

Where are we going love?
What are you feelin'?
Now that I've caught my love
My head is reelin',

With the questions of a thousand dreams,
What you do and what you see.
Come on lover, talk to me.

When I was on my own
Chasin' you down,
What was it made you run.
Tryin' to get around

The questions of a thousand dreams,
What you do and what you see.

There's a woman that you ought to know
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know
'Neath the shadow of a soothing hand
I am free there, just to make my plans
Dream of faraway lands, anything close at hand
And she will follow me wide, do you know
Familiar places she's been by, that I know
Could it be, she don't have to try
And tomorrow, she's a friend of mine
And the sorrow, I see her face is lined
She's no longer blind, she's just hard to find

Soft winds blow in the summertime
Young lovers feel so free
Walking hand in hand down a shady lake
What happened to me?
What happened to me?

Did you ever love a girl who
Walked right out on you
You should know just how I'm feeling
Why I'm so blue
Why I'm so blue

How can I forget those nights
When she'd kiss me soft and true
And whisper words only lovers know
I Love You
I Love You

We'll I've made up my mind
I'll find a new girl
Who'll love me tenderly
Forget the past
I left behind now
to sad memories

Sit down I think I love you
Anyway I'd like to try
I can't stop thinking of you
If you go I'll know I cry

Can't you see that I'm a desperate man
I can hide, just being around
You want to know
What they say about the bird in my hand
And that's why I ain't leaving without you

So if you want someone to love you
Pretty babe I'm your guy
It's not much I'm asking of you
Just please give me a try
