The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin Engines stop running, but I have no fear 'Cause London is drowning I live by the river

Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You've been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasing you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone

So people get ready There's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord

I got you, that's all I want I won't forget, that's a whole lot I don't go out, now that you're in Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

Judy in disguise, well that's what you are A lemonade pie with your brand new car Cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight Judy in disguise, with glasses

She lived on the curve of the road In an old, tar-paper shack On the south side of the town On the wrong side of the tracks Sometimes on the way into town we'd say "Mama, can we stop and give her a ride"? Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side Wild eyed, crazy Mary

Lonely feeling deep inside Find a corner where I can hide Silent footsteps crowding me Sudden darkness but I can see No sugar tonight in my coffee No sugar tonight in my tea No sugar to stand beside me No sugar to run with me

I wonder who they are The men who really run this land And I wonder why they run it With such a thoughtless hand What are their names And on what streets do they live I'd like to ride right over This afternoon and give Them a piece of my mind About peace for mankind Peace is not an awful lot to ask

The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute Just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

I don't know what happens when people die Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear But I can't sing, I can't help listening And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round Crying as they ease you down 'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing Dancing our sorrow away (right on dancing) No matter what fate chooses to play (there's nothing you can do about it anyway) Just do the steps that you've been shown By everyone you've ever known Until the dance becomes your very own

Sunscreen

I'm out on the border I thought this was a private line Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order I'm try'n' to change this water to wine

Operator, oh, let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk to Thank you for your time Ah, you've been so much more than kind You can keep the dime

A green plastic watering can For a fake Chinese rubber plant In a fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plants To get rid of itself It wears her out It wears her out It wears her out It wears her out

I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on Got those swollen-hand blues I got thirteen channels of ***** on the T.V. to choose from I've got electric light And I've got second sight I got amazing powers of observation And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite satin shirt I've got nicotine stains on my fingers I've got a silver spoon on a chain Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains I've got wild staring eyes And I've got a strong urge to fly But I got nowhere to fly to Ooh, babe when I pick up the phone there's still nobody home

I bought a ticket to the world But now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh, I want the truth to be said I know this much is true I know this much is true With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue Dissolve the nerves that have just begun Listening to Marvin all night long This is the sound of my soul

Why let your shoulders bend Underneath this burden When my back is sturdy and strong? Trouble me don't mislead me The calm I feel means a storm is swelling (Speak to me) there's no telling where it starts or how it ends (Speak to me) why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me (Speak to me) when your silence is my greatest fear? Why let your shoulders bend Underneath this burden When my back is sturdy and strong? Speak to me

After all the jacks are in their boxes, and the clowns have all gone to bed, you can hear happiness staggering on down the street, footprints dress in red. And the wind whispers Mary.
