♪♫ Pouring in and around the great wellspring
Of simple feeling
And I need bearings in the face of your
Cool cool fire
Walking backwards with the pounding of your voice
Makes my soul tired
And concrete is
As concrete doesn't
And voices can drown
Why should I . . . .
Solidify
Make me real
So you can see me
I guess you thought
I'd hide the sun from my liquid thoughts and
Make ice for you
You thought I'd seed my clouds
With the rain of your personal dreams
I guess you thought I'd throw confetti
At your parade of lofty thoughts
I guess you thought I'd shine good morning
In some good morning Jack
Surprise
Why should I . . . .
Solidify
Make me real

♪♫ What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power
To stop me from livin like I do
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Dont bite the hand that feeds you
Just one time Id like to be somewhere where
None of your clever lies fill the air
Im tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin
Just might all gang up on you
Turn the knob and do you in
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away.
Dont bite the hand that feeds you
This never ending power play
Tween Jealous greed and vicious hate
Is grinding us like giant millstones
But it cant be our only fate
Its time we got our heads together
And letem know that were awake
Those in the dark, you know theyre no longer blind
Theyre breakin from your strangle hold on their minds
Those that can see dont need no one to cross the street
Be careful who youre pushin round
They just might find you obsolete
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away.
Dont bite the hand that feeds you ♪♫

♪♫ Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
Early this morning, oooo
When you knocked upon my door
And I said hello Satan
I believe its time to go
Me and the Devil
We was walkin side by side
Me and the Devil, woooo
We was walking side by side
I had to beat my woman
Until I get satisfied
Says she dont see why
That I always dog around
(Spoken:) Now baby you aint treatin me right
Say she dont see why, whoooo
That I always dog around
It must-a be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground
Bury my body
Down by the highway side
(Spoken:) Baby, I dont care where you bury my body when Im dead and gone
You may bury my body, woooo
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride ♪♫

♪♫ Downstairs theyre playing Kenton
The house set to swing
I lay in my bed
And listen to everything
Cause Leos in rare form tonight
His trombone sings so sweet
This is the room
Where they all come to meet
He said
I do what I can
I live for the moment
And thats who I am
Yeah thats who I am
And isnt it good
If we could freeze moments in time
We all would
But I do what I can
I do what I can
Downstairs hes playing Kenton
The Magnavox sighs
But oh how the music has changed
In all of our lives
He says nobody listens
To modern jazz
And Ill never have what those guys have
He says
I do what I can
I work for a living
And thats who I am
Yeah thats who I am
And its good to be alive
But everythings different since Leo died
I do what I can
Is this the end of the modern world
What could it mean for a young girl
Who sees the pain on his face
He does what he can
The procession on the TV screen
What could it possibly mean for a man
Whos come this far just to turn around
Could there still be life in Kentons swing
With the Kennedys gone and everything
Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers
Riots down the street and discontented mothers
We do what we can
Downstairs its quiet
Less alive somehow
Somehow he was everything that I am now
And he says
I do what I can
I work for a living
And thats who I am
And thats who I am
But its good to be alive
And these are the choices
We make to survive
You do what you can ♪♫

♪♫ Hey, at six a.m. this morning, you know the man knocked at my door
I screamed into his ear, Now looka here, Im not the guy youre searching for
But I got taken, yeah I got taken just the same
When it comes to getting sleep at night
You know I just cant seem to win
I went down to the zoo where I thought that I might hide
I met a friendly grizzly bear, who took me for a ride
And I got mangled, yeah I got pushed all out of shape
Yes, when it comes to being sociable
I just cant seem to win
Climbing up Mt. Everest to get away from all the noise
I slipped on a banana peel man and I almost got destroyed
And I was, I was worried, oh yes, I was worried all the way down to the ground
When it comes to holding safety nets
Nobody ever seems to be around
Well I put myself together, you know I found that it was best
If I had no longer tried to be just like all the rest
Because Im, Im twisted, yeees and I dig the way I am
Dont ask me about being normal you know I, I just no longer give a damn ♪♫

♪♫ Your walls too high, I cant see
Cant seem to reach you, cant set you free
If you can hear me, follow the sound
And help me tear your wall down to the ground
Everyone gets hurt sometimes
Everybody plays the game
If you dont win the first time
Come back and try again
Rocks and bricks cant help you
You cant hide behind your wall
Why dont you try to jump it little girl
Ill catch you if you fall
Ah, sometimes early in the mornin
Without warnin youll realize
That you aint too wise
With your head bowed down you go downtown
Watch an old lady hit the ground
Lots of people standin round
But nobody seems to know her
Youre an hour late when you reach your floor
Ah, and everybody tells you
That your boss is sore
Watch the clock for seven more
Then go flyin through the door
Back home again the day is gone
Youre safe and sound but still alone
And when the night falls around your walls
Ah, tell me dont you ever wish to go outside
Follow the lights and go outside
Youll be alright, just go outside ♪♫
