Hung up waiting for a windy day
Kite on ice since the first of February
Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow
But standing here, I say I just don't know

 

New ones coming as the old ones go
Everything's moving here, but much too slow now
A little bit quicker and we might have time
To say "How do you do?" before we're left behind

 

Calliope wail like a seaside zoo
The very last lately inquired about you
It's really very one or two
The first you wanted, the last I knew

 

I just wonder if you shouldn't feel
Less concern about the deep unreal
The very first word is "How do you do?"
The last "Go home, your mama's calling you"

 

RIP Robert Hunter :(

The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun

 

I'm driving right up to you, babe
I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah
But you were under my wheels honey
Why don't you let me be?

 

'Cause when you call me on the telephone, sayin'
Take me to the show
And then I say honey I just can't go
The old lady says I can't leave her home.

I heard your mother, now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
 
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I paid my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Fish don't fry in the kitchen; 
Beans don't burn on the grill. 
Took a whole lotta tryin' 
Just to get up that hill. 
Now we're up in the big leagues 
Gettin' our turn at bat. 
As long as we live, it's you and me baby 
There ain't nothin wrong with that. 
 

Well we're movin on up, 
To the east side. 
To a deluxe apartment in the sky. 
Movin on up 
To the east side. 
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Got a beat-up glove, a home-made bat
And a brand new pair of shoes.
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball, and touch 'em all, a moment in the sun
It's-a gone and you can tell that one good-bye

I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was

Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

 

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

Nylon, spandex, dear lord, what's next?
Polyester, pin stripe, whet my appetite
Polka dots, see through, put me in a good mood
A-cup, D-cup, give me love, don't cover up
Slow down my Lamborghini for
 
Girls in bikinis
Girls in bikinis on roller skates, in outer space
I see girls in bikinis
Girls in bikinis and platform heels, in new hot wheels
Girls in bikinis
Girls in bikinis, ooh-ooh

You got a brand new key

You know sometimes, I don't know why
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus
But when she puts her arms around me
I can somehow rise above it
Yeah, man, when I got that little girl standin' right by my side
You know, I can tell the whole wide world to shove it, hey!

Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
