Well she tossed all night like a ragin' sea woke up an' climbed from th' suicide machine with her spanish candles an' her persian poems stuck on th' rocks insude opus 40 stoned an' scratchin' he wrists in the pourin' rain she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again Tears in waves minds on fire Nights alone by yr side Catskill mansions buried screams i'm alive she cried but i don't know what it means somewhere out there across th' moonlit sands there's a line drawn like th' lines on her own shand an' slammin' her eyes lockin' th' door she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again Tears in waves minds on fire Nights alone by yr side
Y'don't need much money t' ride th' silver train Just enough t' keep yerself from sleepin' in th' rain Satellites 'r chasin' silver clouds away an' Technicolor raindrops wash gumballs down th' drain Gonna leave th' city, gonna hop a train tonite Gotta one-way ticket an' th' moon is shinin' brite Gonna leave th' city, gonna catch th' hudson line Cos y'know i love th' city, but i haven't got th' time Satellites 'r chasin' th' silver clouds away Mercury's a' fallin' yeah who forgot t' pray Silver trains will whistle an' glisten by th' moon Molly's got her kite and joe has his balloons Satellites 'r chasin' silver clouds away I'm stuck on th' tracks t' sleep away th' day

He was friend of mine He was friend of mine Everytime I think about him Not I just can't keep from cryin' And he was friend of mine He died on the road He died on the road He never had enough momey To pay his room or board And he was friend of mine I stole away and cried I stole away and cried Cause I never had too much money And I never been satisfied. He never done no wrong He never done no wrong A thousand miles from home And he never harmed no one And he was friend of mine He was friend of mine Everytime I hear his name Not I just can't keep from cryin' Cause he was friend of mine -
Time, all the long red lines, that take Control, of all th smokelike streams that flow into yr Dreams, that big blue open sea, that can't be Crossed, that can't be climbed, just born Between, oh th' two white lines, distant gods an' faded Signs, of all those blinking lites, you had t' pick the one tonite... Holes, dug by little moles, angry jealous Spies, got telephones for eyes, come t' you as Friends, all those endless ends, that can't be Tied, oh they make me laugh, an' always make me Cry, til they drop like flies, an' sink like polished Stones, of all th' stones i throw, how does that ol' song go how does that ol' song go... Bands, those funny little plans, that never work quite right.
Into a dream, i took a turn, an' promised t' return Th' way we were, th' way we met, th' way i lit yr cigarette Th' way it trailed, into a stream, an' lay down between... You had t' choose, a side t' love, an' divide yerself in two Th' way you were, long before, you were a walkin' civil war But you forget, where th' road goes, an' tonite it shows... Into yr soul, i tried t' climb, but found th' hole t' high For me t' leave, th' way i'd learned, an' found i couldn't turn Th' way th' trees, an' fallin' rain, remind me in a way... Th' way you were, th' day we met, th' way i lit your cigarette Th' way it changed, into a strange, cole porter phrase But you forget, how th' song goes, an' tonite it shows...
Standing in a dream, weaving thru' the crowded streets leaving you again endlessly The choir disappears, an' voices in yr heard appear leading you again endlessly If th' armies of her soul, take you by surprise an' flee leaving you again endlessly An th' darkships of her eyes surrender t' you suddenly leading you again endlessly Standing in a street, th' line beneath th' fallin' leaves leading her again endlessly An' of all th' stars above, only one reminds her of leaving you again endlessly
