Cinnamon hills
Sweet child
Sees waves of whisper blue
Earth calls to you everyday in every way

Mommas puttin' on some warpaint
For a little bit of combat
You asked the reason
You gotta fight for your freedom sometimes everyday in every way

Many people pass by caught up in roles and rules
Many rivers run free
I don't wanna' crush the wilderness in you child
Or the wildness in me

How do we keep them both alive?
Somehow they must survive
Somehow they must survive
For there's so much fun and so little time

We go together through the changing seasons
Hearts afire
They know the world needs it everyday in every way
Little darling, zap

Touch the earth child
Heaven and Earth, child
Come, come touch the Earth child
Touch Heaven and Earth, child, ooh

There's peace of mind
Now that I draw the line
Will you be runnin' out of fools
My love's got new rules
This time

Because friends & lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this rain
I was a foolish girl
Now I'm a woman of the world
Wisdom be mine
It's been a hard lesson
But I'm movin' up in school
Where you learn to play it cool
And I just know this time

That friends & lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this pain
I was a foolish girl
Now baby I'm a woman
of the world



A woman of the world
I'm free free free
My love's no competition
It's about - harmony

Sweet harmony
I'll take my dream into the future
I'd only bring it back again
This time as friends

Friends and lovers
Who give the sun to each other
Not this rain
If I was a foolish girl
Baby now
I'm a woman of the world

There's peace of mind
Now that I draw the line
Will you be runnin' out of fools
My love's got new rules
This time

Because friends & lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this rain
I was a foolish girl
Now I'm a woman of the world
Wisdom be mine
It's been a hard lesson

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,

Cold jade wind
Not an angel in the sky
Just cold jade restless wind
Something's coming along
To devastate my soul.

I pricked my fingers
On the thorns
And this rain is a-raining hard
This sky's gonna beckon Mariah
To match my soul
Rain in the river
Rain in the river
Rain on the river banks
Down my neck
Beads of sweat.

Rain on the highway
Running clear across New York
A windsong through the barren trees
Wild lavender heather
By the railroad sways
Listen to the wailing
Of the rain in the river
Rain on the river banks.

Roll, roll
River, rock his soul
She's calling you
Rainclouds, rainclouds
Down his neck
Down his neck
Down his neck
Beads of, beads of, beads of
Beadso of sweat.

Five boys standing
On the baks of thr river
Waiting for the virgin snow
Searching for a miracle
A pearl in an oyster
And we all looked out to God
Although He is the colour of the wind
Listen to the wailing
Of the rain in the river
Rain on the river banks.

Cold jade wind

Been on a train
And did you hear the whistle blow?
Been on a train north
Baby did you hear the whistle blow?
I saw a man take a needleful of hard drug
And die slow.

Been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same.

There's a bright light in the north wind
Gonna bring you home
Mister there's a bright light in the north wind
It's gonna bring you home
He said: "Sweet darling woman
Leave me alone".

Been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same.

You got more tracks on you baby
Than the tracks of this train
You got no guts, no gospel
And you got no brains
He said: "I got just one thing
Gonna soothe my pain?"
No, no
Damn you mister
And I dragged him out the door
Damn you mister
And I dragged him out the door.

He died in the morning sun
And I ain't going north no more.

I suspect there's a train
Going north in a month or two
I still hear his words
He said: "There's nothing left to say or do"
But mister you were wrong
And I'm gonna sing my song for you.

Been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same.

Billy's blue

But billy's go it bad
He's so endlessly sad

Morning
Came to the windows in the street
Selling red watermelon, 5 cents a piece.

Merry boat on the river
Freedom
Fresh drams to deliver
Freedom
Over and over and over
I call out your name.

You ole fire, I'm mad with desire,
You're my favorite one.
You got me cooking with the fever,
got me running for the sun.
Uh-huh, running for the sun,
I feel so high, I feel like I may go
blowing away, blow, blow, blowing.

My well meaner, my day fancy dreamer,
oh, what can it be?
Well, it's something like a power,
like a hold, and it's holding me.
Uh-huh, and it's holding me.
I feel so high, I feel like I may go
blowing away, blow, blow, blowing away.
Blow, blow, blowing.

My long laster, my soft-hearted master
ain't been born and bred.
But he's standing in my doorway in my mind,
up above my, up above, up above my head.
Up above my head, up above my head,
I feel so high, I feel like I may go blowing away,
blowing away, blowing away,
blowing away, blowing away

You ole fire
I'm mad with desire
You're my favorite one

Got my love runnin' for the sun

My day fancy dreamer
Oh what can it be ?
Well it's something like a power
Like a hold and it's holdin' me

The old people of the earth
Tell stories
An old woman
Of the old ways
She said -
"I recall my joy
In better days"
The young warriors
Of the open rainbow
Said "Tell me is it true?
Tell me, do some live
out of bags and rags
In the cities too?
Is it true?"
At the edge where I live
Home sweet home
America



Native American Nation
Caught in the devastation
An endless situation
What can I do?
The ghost of prejudice
Cuts thru the moonglow
Poet on a crying page -
Broken Rainbow

Home sweet home

Morning, come to the windows of the street
Selling red watermelon, five cents a piece

Merry boat on the river, freedom
Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom

Over and over and over
I call out your name

God standing on the brown earth
Get up, mama hollers
Shooflies in the doorway

White doves gonna come today
White doves gonna come today

Oh, what a morning, I feel so good
Oh, what a morning of brotherhood

Hold me by the light
Kittens run the neighborhood through
Ragamuffin boys

All the world is new by the light of day
Give with your heart and love will come to you
Kids come in all shapes and colors
To the cool morning dew

Merry boat on the river, freedom
Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom

Over and over and over

Lovelight in the morning
Shooflies in the doorway

Cocaine and quiet beers, sweet candy and caramels.
Pass the time and dry the tears on a street called buy and sell.

Life turns like the endless sea. Death tolls like a vesper bell.
Children laugh and lover dream on a street called buy and sell.

Ladies dress calico style, beware your heart.
And the men walk shamelessly, aimlessly by.
Cinders in the daylight, junkyards in the sky, buy and sell.
Sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed, my bed.

Two pennies will buy a rose. Three pennies and who can tell
on a street that comes and goes by the name of buy and sell?
Buy and sell, sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed.

California sunshine boys never really care, only for that California shoeshine in their hair.
I got heartache, I got heartache, I got miles of heartache, I got heartache, I got heartache,
but I got news, California sunshine boys, yeah.

Children of the Junks
Slant-eyed
Children of the Junks
Go by
Mama's comin' soon
And the junks are turning in the
Spring sky

Dragon rings
Tax-free things
Forever
People pick and pay
Till the day fades away
Cooling in the wind
'Comrades all'
Red papers ring

Flowers in the sun
Shining
On the children of the world
Night comes
Sleep for me
Ain't nothing, just a moonstruck junk
On the sea
Kowloon
All the junks are sleeping
Spinning flowers on the shade
All the junks are sleeping
But alley cats and renegades

Come young braves
Come young children
Come to the book of love with me
Respect your brothers and your sisters
Come to the book of love
I know it ain't easy
But we're gonna look for a better day
Come young braves
Come young children.

I love my country as it dies
In war and pain before my eyes
I walk the streets where disrespect has been
The sins of politics, the politics of sin
The heartlessness that darkens my soul
On Christmas.

Red and silver on the leaves
Fallen white snow runs softly through the trees
Madonnas weep for wars of hell
They blow out the candles and haunt Noel
The missing love that rings through the work
On Christmas.

Black panther brothers bound in jail
Chicago seven and the justice scale
Homeless Indian on Manhattan Isle
All God's sons have gone to trial
And all God's love is out of style
On Christmas.

Christmas in my soul
Christmas in my soul
Christmas in my soul.

Here's your old friendship ring

I can't wear it no more

Here's your old love letters

I can't read 'em anymore

Love, you've gone from me

And left behind

So many memories

Here's your old teddy bear

That you won for me

At the state fair

Here's more lingering love

It's in my heart and it's tearing it apart

Love, you've gone from me

Left behind

So many memories

Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir,
They fill me like melons,
Touch me with chivalry,
Truly I know, truly I know who you are,
December will bear our affair,
Running on streets of delight and Decemberry ice.

They'll see me, I'm ageless,
Loving you timelessly,
Love-colored soul, love-colored soul kissing spice,
Yes, my love, I take my coffee in the morning,
And all your love,
A spoonful or so make us grow.

Mama was clever, my mama was clever,
And my daddy loved her forever,
Forever!

Kisses from you I'll remember,
Kisses from you in the flames of December,
Kisses from you, true they are,
Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir.
Oh, mainstream marzipan sweet,
Baking out in December heat.

Emily and her love to be,
Carved in a heart on a berry tree
But it's only a little farewell love spell,
Time to design a woman.

Touch me, oh wake me, Emily
You ornament the Earth for me
Emily, you're the natural snow,
The unstudied sea, you're a cameo
And I swear you were born a weavers lover,
Born for the loom's desire.

Move me, oh sway me
Emily, the ornament, the Earth for me.
Emmie, your Momma's been calling you.
Who stole Mamma's heart and cuddled in her garden?

Gardenia talk

It's spring

Gardenia talk

It must be spring

Oh oh oh oh

Maybe

I'd like to know you

Struck by the poetry

I know it's not the time to show you

I may know you in my dream

You never hear me

Talk the talk

Talk the talk of love

Swoon like a teenager

Oh

Gardenia talk ooh ooh ooh

Gardenia talk ooh ooh ooh

Are you just some sweet stranger?

I only met you on the bus to springtime

Now I'm struck by a fantasy

If there's something I can do

With this dream

Fills the darkness like the sea

That's where I heard you

Talk the talk

Talk the talk of love

Swoon like a teenager

Oh

Gardenia talk ooh ooh ooh

Gardenia talk ooh ooh ooh

Am I just some sweet stranger?

Gardenia talk

It's spring

Gardenia talk

It must be spring

Gardenia talk

Meltin' everything

Don't go to gibsom cross the river
The devil is hungry
The devil is sweet
If you are soft then you will shiver
They hang the alley cats on gibsom street
I wish my baby were forbidden
I wish my world be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
To hide the eyes that looked on gibsom street
There is a man he knows where I'm going
Gave me a strawberry to eat
I sucked its juices never knowing
That I would sleep that night on gibsom street

Don't go to gibsom cross the river
The devil is hungry
The devil is sweet
If you are soft then you will shiver
They hang the alley cats on gibsom street
I wish my baby were forbidden
I wish my world be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
To hide the eyes that looked on gibsom street
There is a man he knows where I'm going
Gave me a strawberry to eat
I sucked its juices never knowing
That I would sleep that night on gibsom street

He's a runner
and he'll run away
soon there'll be no man
woman ain't be born
who can make him stay
woman get away while you can
He's a runner
and he'll run away
with the midnight train
woman ain't been born who
can make him stay
come the judgment day
come the rain
he's a runner

There'll come the runnin'
He'll know he's got to
don't ask him not to or why
Oh why oh why did you
leave me
and run off with tomorrow?
now I 'm in chains
till I die

He's a runner
and he'll run away
soon there'll be no man
woman ain't be born who
can make him stay
woman get away while you can
he's a runner
he's a runner
and he's got to run away

Cigarettes
I'm all alone with my smoke and ashes
Cigarettes
I'm all alone with my smoke and ashes
Take me night-flying
Maybe Mars has good news
Who?...who am I?
I am the blues

soothe me
Horn's warm red love-makin'
Funky music
Move me
Night wind, red tail lights, and
Funky music

'cause I'm restless
In my love for sale shoes
Who?...who am I?
I am the blues
In a world of war
I can't find my laughter
I can't see the night sun
And I can't see my freedom
I guess I can't see too much no more
Baby, till I lose my blues
Fly through the sky like superfly
Over the stars we climb
Over this sweet red wine
I tell myself
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on
Blues
Flying so high
A plane in the sky
Listen to the music of the night wind

I never meant to hurt you, I'm not that way at all.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that seems so small.
And I never meant to hurt you, I guess I lost my place.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that hides its face.
Why do I do things I never mean to do?
Why did I speak so carelessly when all that I felt was love for you?
And I swear, I never meant to hurt you. I've got to make you know.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that didn't show.
I never meant to hurt you, I only meant to love you it's true.
And when I saw you crying, I cried too.

Loving you so
I was too blind to see you
Letting me go
But now that you've set me free
It's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
'Cause I'm crazy for you
Oh oh, didn't you know
It wouldn't be so easy
Lettin' you go
I could have told you
That it's gonna take a miracle
Oh-uh yes, it's gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
'Cause I'm crazy for you
Oh, tho' I know I can't forget about you
Or come so will show you how much
You're turning me around, destroying me
I'll never be the same anymore
You must realize
You took your love and left me
Quite by surprise
You can be sure that now it's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
'Cause I'm crazy for you

Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back.
Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back.

My arms are missing you,
My lips feel the same way too.
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised to do.
But this boy keeps comin' around,
tryin' to wear my resistance down.

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.

He calls me on the phone about three times a day.
Now my heart's just listening to, what he has to say
But this loneliness I have within,
Keeps reaching out to be his friend

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.
Need your loving, need your loving.
I wanna say I'm not getting any stronger,
I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard, to be true,
But, Jimmy he talks just as sweet as you.

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.

Many loves have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And then you passed them by, (passed them by)
While you're in the center ring,
And their lines don't mean a thing,
Why don't you let me try? (let me try)
I don't have a diamond ring
I don't even know what song to sing,

All I know is
La la la la la la la la la
Means I love you

All I know is
La la la la la la la la la
Means I love you

If there ever was a love
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me (one for me)
Let me hold you in my arms
Thrill you with my charms
Darling, then you'll see, (you will see)
The things that I'm saying are true
And the way I'll explain them to you
Listen to me,

La la la la la la la la la
Means I love you
La la la la la la la la la
Means I love you

Things I am saying are true
And the way I explain it to you
Yes to you,
Listen to me,

La la la la la la la la la
Means I love you

La la la la la la la la la
Means I love you

Lazy flower, my, you창?р??ve grown so tall. I have lost and loved him, you have seen it all.
Lazy Susan, lazy through, hasn창?р??t got a think to do.
Oh, but to sit there and light up the hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue.
Lazy Susan, lazy through, all the hills in love with you,
Courted and cradled by Heaven and hillside, sun-fried,
black-eyed Sue, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed.
Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be. Once, I too had someone loving me.
Johnny, Johnny, warm and true, that창?р??s how I remember you,
this morning, just as I found you: up there on the hillside
with sun-fried, black-eyed lazy Susan, Susan.

"god bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And then you'll always
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And then you'll always
Let it be me

In the zoo
They gave him a cage
Circus put a sparkle
On his face
Away from life
The elephant walks
Shadow across a dream
Lost for ivory
Oh freedom
Lite a flame

It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Masai moon
In the morningrise

Africa -
The world comes alive
A matriarch
Leads the tribe
To the sweet water
The cool feelin'
And the way to survive

Oh freedom


Lite a flame

It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Of the plain
For greed not need
Societies sleep
Lead the killing hand on

Young ones full of spark
A wave of birds across the park
Kids climbing
Sliding, riding free
Elephant child hiding
Behind a tree

Prejudice
For an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

No one hurries home to lonely women
No one hurries home to lonely women
A gal could die without her man
And no one knows it better than
Lonely women

No one knows the blues like lonely women do
No one knows the blues like lonely women, yeah
Blues that make the walls rush in
Walls that tell you where you've been
And you've been to the hollow
Lonely women yeah

Let me die early morning
Whoa bitter tears, whoa bitter tears
Uptight downpour

Don't got no children to be grandmother for, be grandmother for
She don't believe no more
She don't believe no one hurries home to call you baby
Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows
But no one, no one knows.

No one hurries home to lonely women
No one hurries home to lonely women
A gal could die without her man
And no one knows it better than
Lonely women

No one knows the blues like lonely women do

Walls that tell you where you've been

Uptight downpour

Don't got no children to be grandmother for, be grandmother for
She don't believe no more
She don't believe no one hurries home to call you baby
Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows
But no one, no one knows.

Sappho was a poet
Billie was a real musician
Frida drew the moon
I'm going by Louise's Church
She built in the city
Art of grace & style
That could make me smile
Talk to me
Goddess of life & music
Shine on me awhile

Sappho was a poet
Billie was a real musician
Frida drew the moon
The candle at Louise's Church
Lite it for your vision
For the changes
To save the planet of ages
Talk to us
Heavenly Muse
Shine on us awhile

You can meet the captain at the dead-end zone.
What Devil doesn't know is that Devil can't stay, doesn't know he's seen his day.
Oh, Luckie's taking over and his clover shows.
Devil can't get out of hand cause Luckie's taking over and what Luckie says goes.

Where is your woman?
Gone to Spanish Harlem?
Gone to buy you pastels?

Where is your woman?
Gone to Spanish Harlem?
Gone to buy you books and bells
Beneath Indian summer?

Take my hand now
There is a land now
In the treasure of love.

Jade and coral
Perfume from Siam
In the treasure of love.

To your fingertips
To the summer sunset
In the treasure of love
In the treasure of love, in the treasure of love.

Light the night
Oh, light the night
Come my way
Light the night.

Come to me baby
You got the look that I adore, that I understand
My pretty medicine man
My pretty medicine man
Got pretty medicine in his head
For you I bear down
Soft and burning
In the treasure of love
In the treasure of love
In the treasure of love, love.

Where is your woman?
Gone to Spanish Harlem?
Gone to buy you pastels?

Madison smiled
and she hung with a band of strays
the band was gone
bringin it on
to the Broadway blaze
once I lived under the city in my sweet July

July mercy on broadway
don't you believe it
you better know what I say
she'll make you pay
down the alleyway
slippin up a sidestreet
shine
everybody
shine

on Broadway
jive and pray
There aint no mercy now
on Broadway

People and the landlords shine
down and gay wine
in the doom swept the band away
Baby on broadway
is she mild
like mother and child?
does she obey?
once I lived under the city in my sweet July

July mercy on broadway
don't you believe it
you better know what I say
she'll make you pay
Black city fair
ole road runner there
shine
everybody
shine

Midnite blue
You make me laugh
You make me tremble
But I'm as strong as you
Midnite blue
Midnite blue
You're funny
And I like you too
Shy, sly, gypsy high now
You could touch the sky now
Midnite blue

There's smoke in the kitchen
Shrimps curled
The sun on black velvet
And high stars
At the bottom of the world
Smile all you want
But you know
That I'm fine
In the warm hands
Of midnite blue

Now the river music haunts me
Its spirit calling me
Where's my midnite blue'
I need his melody
Oh, midnite blue
Where are you'
Oh, midnite blue
Come to me
Oh, midnite blue
I need your melody
I need your melody
I need the rhythm of your melody
Cause I love you
Midnite blue

She said
I'm young enough
I'm old enough
To paint a smile
I tasted heaven and hell
Heaven, stay a while

A good friend
Is a rare find
Their straight talk
Can ease your mind
A good pimp's
Gonna rob you blind
Money money money
I feel like a pawn
In my own world
I found the system
And I lost the pearl
It's breaking me down
Well, you don't wake
You don't shake
You just make the sound
Go round and round and round
And round
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Till your freedom calls you

Somewhere out
Children laugh
Like meteors
Rolling down the grass
Mothers pull the nighttime in
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
But not for me

She said
I'm young enough
I'm old enough
In the city machine
Where industries
Fill the fish
Full of mercury
(It's tax-free)
She said
My struggle hurt
But it turned me on
And when my revolution came
The chain was gone
On my feet
To the sound of my heartbeat
Money money money
Do you feel like a pawn
In your own world?
You found the system
And you lost the pearl
Like leaves coming down
You've got to wake, shake
Make your vibe go round
And round and round and round

She said
I'm young enough
I'm old enough
To paint a smile
I tasted heaven and hell
Heaven, stay a while

A good friend
Is a rare find
Their straight talk
Can ease your mind
A good pimp's
Gonna rob you blind
Money money money
I feel like a pawn
In my own world
I found the system
And I lost the pearl
It's breaking me down
Well, you don't wake
You don't shake
You just make the sound
Go round and round and round
And round
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Till your freedom calls you

Somewhere out
Children laugh
Like meteors
Rolling down the grass
Mothers pull the nighttime in
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
But not for me

She said
I'm young enough
I'm old enough
In the city machine
Where industries
Fill the fish
Full of mercury
(It's tax-free)
She said
My struggle hurt
But it turned me on
And when my revolution came
The chain was gone
On my feet
To the sound of my heartbeat
Money money money
Do you feel like a pawn
In your own world?
You found the system
And you lost the pearl
Like leaves coming down
You've got to wake, shake
Make your vibe go round
And round and round and round

On a street corner
Where the kids boogie all night
Or where the winds sing
And the stars shine
Like holiday lights
Come a band of angels
Salvation in their might
And as for peace on earth...
Feel this love
My brothers and sisters
Feel the season turn
She is the mother of time
Wonders that take you
Rivers that give
That's where mother's spiritual lives

Talk of a ruby love
Lovers share
Find your love
Lose your love
Here and there
So you go home
Do your own thing
And the ocean sings to me
That love is always alive
And part of thee
Feel this love
My brothers and sisters
Feel the season turn
She is the mother of time
Light and darkness
Come to her kiss
'cause that's where mother's spiritual lives

Come to the lights, my sisters
And take what you need
Doesn't matter, my brothers
Your Sunday creed
'cause each one's a lover
To this winter night star
A pilgrim'a pioneer
That's who you are
Feel this love
My brothers and sisters
Feel the season turn
She is the mother of time
It's not war
It's life she gives
And that's where mother's spiritual lives

Hello? he said,
"Hello?"

"I'd like to see you" he said
"Sweetheart look
You know what happens when we get together
I mean I've heard of liberation,
But sweetheart - you're in outer space."

Oh, Mister Blue
I've been studying the radar in the sky
I can almost run, fly
Listen like the animals do,
I'm ready to meet the crew
Yes, I'm ready for you

Earth calling you
I've been a gypsy fire, warm desire
You've seen this too
Roger and out Mr. Blue

This is the song of communications
Sending out peace vibrations,
Genuine cause to end our wars
Or is this the song of complications?
A hopeless declaration? Can we mend, transcend
The broken dishes of our love?
Our conflicts?
Can we be friends?

"Hello?" he said
"Hello?"
"This is your copilot," he said
??Yeah - look sweetheart
I've loved you - but you can be so arrogant,
And you don't know anything about being cool."

Oh Mister Blue, I've been studying the radar in the sky
Measuring earth and time
The rainbows on your pillow are new,
I'm a fucking mad scientist too
Baby, baby let the one who loves you come thru ...
Baby come thru...baby come thru...
Earth calling...you...
Baby come thru...baby come thru...
Earth calling...
This is the song of communications
(Baby come thru...) Written on a peace vibration
(Baby come thru...) Earth calling...
(Is this the song of complications?)
Earth calling, calling calling calling you
Oh Mr Blue, oh Mr Blue

Blue berry
A rush on rum
Of brush and drum
And the past is a blue note
Inside me
I ran away in the morningNew York tendaberry
Blue berry
Rugs and drapes and drugs
And capes
Sweet kids in hunger slums
Firecrackers break
And they cross
And they dust
And they skate
And the night comesI ran away in the morningNow I'm back
Unpacked
Sidewalk and pigeon
You look like a city
But you feel like a religion
To meNew York tendabery
True berry
I lost my eyes
I east wind skies
Here where I've cried
Where I've tried
Where God and the tendaberry rise
Where quakers and revolutionaries
Join for life
For precious years
Joined for life
Through silver tearsNew York tendaberry

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you take with me.

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep,
so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby.
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to baby,

Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to baby.

Farmer Joe, I'm the meanest woman you know,
Woman you know, she said,
Farmer Joe, I'm the meanest woman you know,
Woman you know.
I let you slide about an hour ago, now.

Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run.
Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run.
Farmer boy, get your gun and run, run, run like a son of a gun from love.
Running from the mindreader, run baby, run.

Got a date with the town shoe maker you know,
Baby you know,
She said, I can't wait for your cornfields to grow,
Baby to grow.
Whoa, baby, whoa baby, give my bags and let the good wind blow.
Give my bags and let the good wind blow.
Give my bags and let the good wind blow.
I've got to see about a man I know.

Fire, flames of gold rush my mind.
Fire, flames of gold rush my mind.
Sock it to the railroad, baby.
Baby, there's a train whistle coming.
Baby, there's a train whistle coming.

Once it was alright, alright, baby.
Once it was alright, alright, baby.
Once it was alright, alright, no.
