STAY #3945
Early in the morning
I caught you waiting by the dock
Early in the morning
I caught you waiting by the dock
They say you’re crazy
If you don’t live by the clock
I’ll be ‘round, I’ll be ‘round
I’ll be ‘round, I’ll be ‘round
Baby won’t you stay, stay with me
Later on that evening
We were on a boat to meet the king
Later on that evening
We were on a boat to meet the king
You said you once loved me
You know that don’t mean a thing
I’ll be ‘round, I’ll be ‘round
I’ll be ‘round, I’ll be ‘round
Baby won’t you stay, stay with me
Girl you know I loved you
Just like I love my Grandpa John
Girl you know I loved you
Just like I loved my Grandpa John
Loves a funny thing
You turn around and then it’s gone
I’ll be ‘round, I’ll be ‘round
I’ll be ‘round, I’ll be ‘round
Baby won’t you stay, stay with me

LONESOME DEATH BLUES
I came out of the womb feeling mad, mad, mad
I came out of the womb feeling mad
Mama said I was useless daddy said I was bad
I came out of the womb feeling mad
I took out my last dollar for the train, train, train
I took out my last dollar for the train
I left my children bleeding in the pouring rain
I took out my last dollar for the train
I left my heart in a San Francisco game, game, game
I left my heart in a San Francisco game
I let the dealer have it in the pouring rain
I left my heart in a San Francisco game
And I heard shots, shots, shots
From a shotgun
I heard shots, shots shots
Said hey where you going at scum of the earth
You aint been right since your mama gave birth
I taught that winding river how to die, die, die
I taught New York City how to lie
I drove across the country to look for blood alright
And I’m heading down to Montreaux in the night
I came out of the dealings heading south, south, south
I came out of the dealings heading south
I shot a cop in Madrid got caught by word of mouth
An eight by ten foot cell I call my house
​
And I heard shots, shots, shots
From a shotgun
I heard shots, shots shots
Said hey where you going at scum of the earth
You aint been right since your mama gave birth

DREAMS
If I could darling knows I would
If I could have only one more dream
The light comes on before you
And they tell you that the night time is done
A one becomes a two
As a three becomes a sheltered one
So let’s go back to the way we came
The lonely nights and the daisy chains
Lost forever as our conscience weeps
Let’s get on with the games we played
Darling I just need to get some sleep
If I could darling knows I would
If I could have only one more dream
Winter surely brought us here
Before it left a grungy milky spring
That’s what happens while you wait
For the sheep to come counting in
But after all it’s not a fate
A driven world or a fall from grace
That keeps me from walking down your street
Forgive me if I forget to say goodnight
Darling I just need to get some sleep
If I could darling knows I would
If I could have only one more dream

LADY GODIVA
Bright lights and the victory dance
Chambermaid got her head in a trance
I don’t believe she will never be free
Hard loving woman coming after me
Oh girl what you do to a man
You do things that I don’t understand
Rich money in a forest of hands
And little Liza Jane’s got her head in her hands
Bright lights on the freeway tonight
I got a feeling something just aint right
We don’t believe that you will never be free
Sweet loving woman coming after me
Bright lights and the victory dance
Chambermaid got her head in a trance
I don’t believe she will never be free
Hard loving woman coming after me
Oh girl what you do to a man
You do things that I don’t understand
Rich money in a forest of hands
And little Liza Jane’s got her head in her hands

POCAHONTAS LIPS
I can see you staring at me with those Pocahontas lips
Shaking my mind up just like a belly dancers hips
You don’t want to be the only one
Face down in your hands
Sing a rhyme with me, sing in time with me
Harmonize with me cause I know you will
But don’t, Baby don’t hesitate
Just because your love, your love it won’t wait
Maybe I just want to feel good
Maybe I just want to feel like I should
I cans see you staring at me with your long crimson hair
Staring at me from across the room with your body debonair
You don’t want to be the only one
With your face down in your hands
Sing a rhyme with me, sing in time with me
Harmonize with me cause I know you will
But don’t, Baby don’t hesitate
Just because your love, your love it won’t wait
Maybe I just want to feel good
Maybe I just want to feel like I should

YOU WERE THE GYPSY (REVISED)
The water burned my spirit just like the old dust bowl
So beautiful were her roses when tucked beneath her soul
You walked me down to the fire and put back on your clothes
And you were the gypsy, you were the gypsy
You were the gypsy, come and get me stoned
She clung to ancient melodies much like ashes due to rain
She wrote a poem about it when his mistress became his maid
And her without my bracelets and I with out my crown
While you were the gypsy you were the gypsy
You were the gypsy, come and get me stoned
And as the hangman bows in sorrow we lit a fire for the soul
The violins from old Vermont began to pluck their role
And the dogs of war were perched down by the Gallows pole
And you were the gypsy you were the gypsy You were the gypsy, come and get me stoned
Grandpa’s smoking a chimney by a downtown traffic light
Rambaud walks beside him writing visions for the blind
She clutched her yellow satin dress and removed her leather cape
While you were the gypsy you were the gypsy
You were the gypsy, come and get me stoned
She removed her dark rimmed glasses and laughed incessantly
"You must feel a fool" she said and "goddamn he who is free"
While the ladies of the canyon helped spill the nations wine
While you were the gypsy you were the gypsy
You were the gypsy, come and get me stoned
The hanging judge will hang me of that there is no doubt
And of that gypsy love of mine I cannot live without
She brought me down to the fire and took off all her clothes
While you were the gypsy you were the gypsy
You were the gypsy, come and get me stoned
