Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers said
She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me

[Gugny]

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

[KD in CA]

 

I really apologize how I sound right now man
If this ain't clear at all, man
They got my mouth wired shut for like I don't know the doctor said like six weeks

 

I looked in the mirror, half of my jaw was missing from half my mouth, man
I couldn't believe it
But I'm still here for y'all right now, man

 

I got lawyer for the case to keep my safe book safe
My dawgs couldn't tell if I
I look like Tom Cruise on Vanilla Sky
It was televised
There's been an accident like GEICO
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
I must got a angel
Cause look how death missed his ass
Unbreakable, would you thought they called me Mr. Glass
Look back on my life like the ghost of Christmas past
Toys R Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still wont grow up, I'm a grown ass kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid s- that I did
But I'm a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
Make music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire

[Bill from NYC]

I run into Charlie Fog
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog
My doggie turned to me and he said
Let's head back to Tennessee Jed
I woke up a felin' mean
Went down to play the slot machine
The wheels turned around, and the letters read
You better head back to Tennessee Jed

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby won't you carry me, back to Tennessee,

My grandma past my brother's gone, I never at once felt so alone
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel, not just my spare tire
(Home!) But Lord, I ask you
(Home!) to be my guiding force and truth
(Home!) For some strange reason it had to be
(Home!) he guided me to Tennessee

[Gray Beard]

I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

 

[WhoTom]

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by four-thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

 

[Bill from NYC]

Counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright
The spiral light of Venus
rising first and shining best
On, from the northwest corner
of a brand new crescent moon
While crickets and cicadas sing
a rare and different tune
Terrapin station

In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station
And I know we'll be there soon, terrapin
I can't figure out, terrapin
if it's the end or beginning, terrapin
But the train's put it's brakes on, terrapin
And the whistle is screaming, terrapin

[Gray Beard]

Standing in the station I'm looking at the board
The board ain't saying nothing that's lighten in my load
Is her destination Victoria Station
Where the trains go out and the trains come in
Where the trains go out and the trains come in

 

Her daddy's name was Casey she lived down by the track
I know she was born to ramble but I believed she would ramble back
Destination Victoria Station where the trains go out and the trains come in
Where the trains go out and the trains come in

[WhoTom]

See my face in the town that's flashing by
See me standing at the station in the rain
See me running there beside the car
I left it all behind me and I've traveled far
It took me a long time to get back on the train

[Bill from NYC]

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

[Gray Beard]

We'll put out to sea and we'll perfect our chemistry
And by and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye, give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

 

Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go
oh I want to take you down to
Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo

[SinceThe70s]

Vin Scelsa's on the radio

Ramones are hangin out in Kokomo

Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King you know

[Bill from NYC]

Only you know and I know
All the love we've got to show,
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings.

'Cause you know that I mean what I say,
So don't go and take me the wrong way.
You know you can't go on getting your own way,
'Cause if you do, it's going to get you someday.

[Gugny]

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel

 

If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me

 

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

[WhoTom]

"Take me to another place", she said
"Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud"
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now

[Gray Beard]

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
 

Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me
Take me on

 

I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

If you feel that it's real I'm on trial
And I'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I'm spent with high treason

 

Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul

 

Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger

[PastaJoe]

He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man

 

Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky

[WhoTom]

Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
