    "Pyramid Song"

    I jumped in the river and what did I see?
    Black-eyed angels swam with me
    A moon full of stars and astral cars
    All the things I used to see
    All my lovers were there with me
    All my past and futures
    And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
    There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

    I jumped into the river
    Black-eyed angels swam with me
    A moon full of stars and astral cars
    And all the things I used to see
    All my lovers were there with me
    All my past and futures
    And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
    There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

    There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
    There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

    I am an American aquarium drinker
    I assassin down the avenue
    I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
    What was I thinking when I let go of you?
    Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
    Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
    This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
    What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?
    I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
    Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight
    You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
    What was I thinking when I said good night?
    I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
    You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
    Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns
    What was I thinking when I said hello?
    I'd always thought that if I held you tightly
    You'd always love me like you did back then
    Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
    What was I thinking when I let you back in?
    I am trying to break your heart
    I am trying to break your heart
    But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
    I am trying to break your heart
    Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
    I assassin down the avenue
    I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
    What was I thinking when I let go of you?
    Loves you
    I'm the man who loves you

    Paint a picture visions only grey
    Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
    I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.

    It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.

    And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind,
    Down the foggy ruins of time,
    Far past the frozen leaves,
    The haunted frightened trees,
    Out to the windy beach,
    Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
    Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
    With one hand waving free,
    Silhouetted by the sea,
    Circled by the circus sands,
    With all memory and fate,
    Driven deep beneath the waves,
    Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

    A figure exotic who loves to travel
    in the moonlight blooms again
    for1 all his life he spent
    Passionately looking for another2
     
    I remember, as a child he laughed and said,
    juggling on the seat of his bike:
    "The world we'll bring to our measures
    before he3 brings us at his"
     
    But the world moves on without asking us
    shut down roads, thieves and cops
    love your cell, they told him, and then
    out there he was even more lonely but he still laughed
     
    A drunken night he got mad
    journals he burns and diplomas
    At dawn he embarks on a pirate's ship
    for his life's direction4
     
    Algier, Alexandria, South Africa
    in Amsterdam two terminals and something
    loves slid amid his eyes
    like the foam at the sailor's fingers
     
    In Porto Rico reckless years
    and his heart's he scattered the cards
    in basements dark and suspicion
    as if he was looking for the light in the snuff
     
    Some warm night in a blues-bar
    he heard his music out of tune
    the bosses threw him in the streets
    the spots when they saw on his body
     
    And Sylvia who passionately loved him
    was never missing from his side
    furiously5 asking for his hug,
    his hell and his heaven
     
    He sailed of a night with a full moon
    and in his letter he wrote to me:
    "It was worth it my friend to exist for a dream
    even if its fire is to burn you"
     
    The year have passed and now I can't recall
    Ernest was his name or Nikos?
    And also forgive that I forgot
    if he was lost in Mets or Porto Rico
     
    As for me I'm always here
    with your eyes fire as my flag
    it's beautiful tonight that we met
    I like it when we're sailing together

    I've been listening to this one a lot recently.
    Joseph Arthur, 'Travel As Equals'

    In the dark of grave yard chatter
    In the light of freedoms call
    In the heat of any matter

    We travel as equals or not at all

    Bloom disgust and class divide
    I saw it written on the wall
    The only way we can survive
    We travel as equals or not at all

    You can't be in greater comfort
    As my pain prevents your fall
    The truth will come and tell us brother
    We travel as equals or not at all

    And when we get to where we're going
    Past the divide past the stall
    Past the wind that's always blowing
    Travel as equals or not at all

    In your way
    You found a way, free
    In your way
    You found a way, follow me
    Give it up
    Give it up
    Give it up to your destiny
    In your way
    You found a way, free

    And you might have a greater income
    Or you might be dumb and dull
    But either way I won't leave you
    Travel as equals or not at all

    So help me too, in my slumber
    If I'm blind in madness hall
    If I'm deaf amongst the thunder
    Travel as equals or not at all

    Lift the way, forget the ransom
    Free the chain and kick the ball
    Let our love take us higher
    Travel as equals or not at all

    And down the road and through the sky
    And on the tracks, hear the gull
    Fly above us, without worry
    Travel as equals or not at all

    I hope your road takes you homeward
    And may you always outrun the law
    If I'm with you we will always
    Travel as equals or not at all

    Yes if I'm with you we will always
    Travel as equals or not at all
    Yes if I'm with you we will always
    Travel as equals or not at all

    In your way
    You found a way, free
    In your way
    You found a way, follow me
    Give it up
    Give it up
    Give it up to your destiny
    In your way
    You found a way, free

    In the dark of grave yard chatter
    In the light of freedoms call
    In the heat of any matter
    We travel as equals or not at all

    Bloom disgust and class divide
    I saw it written on the wall
    The only way we can survive
    We travel as equals or not at all

    The only way we can survive
    We travel as equals or not at all
    The only way we can survive
    We travel as equals or not at all

    In your way
    You found a way, free
    In your way
    You found a way, follow me
    Give it up
    Give it up
    Give it up to your destiny
    In your way
    You found a way, free
    In your way
    You found a way, free
    In your way
    You found a way, free

    Astral Weeks

    If I ventured in the slipstream
    Between the viaducts of your dream
    Where immobile steel rims crack
    And the ditch in the back roads stop
    Could you find me?
    Would you kiss-a my eyes?
    To lay me down
    In silence easy
    To be born again
    To be born again
    From the far side of the ocean
    If I put the wheels in motion
    And I stand with my arms behind me
    And I'm pushin' on the door
    Could you find me?
    Would you kiss-a my eyes?
    To lay me down
    In silence easy
    To be born again
    To be born again
    There you go
    Standin' with the look of avarice
    Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
    Showin' pictures on the wall
    Whisperin' in the hall
    And pointin' a finger at me
    There you go, there you go
    Standin' in the sun darlin'
    With your arms behind you
    And your eyes before
    There you go
    Takin' good care of your boy
    Seein' that he's got clean clothes
    Puttin' on his little red shoes
    I see you know he's got clean clothes
    A-puttin' on his little red shoes
    A-pointin' a finger at me
    And here I am
    Standing in your sad arrest
    Trying to do my very best
    Lookin' straight at you
    Comin' through, darlin'
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    If I ventured in the slipstream
    Between the viaducts of your dreams
    Where immobile steel rims crack
    And the ditch in the back roads stop
    Could you find me
    Would you kiss-a my eyes
    Lay me down
    In silence easy
    To be born again
    To be born again
    To be born again
    In another world
    In another world
    In another time
    Got a home on high
    Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
    I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
    I got a home on high
    In another land
    So far away
    So far away
    Way up in the heaven
    Way up in the heaven
    Way up in the heaven
    Way up in the heaven
    In another time
    In another place
    In another time
    In another place
    Way up in the heaven
    Way up in the heaven
    We are goin' up to heaven
    We are goin' to heaven
    In another time
    In another place
    In another time
    In another place
    In another face

    Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
    And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
    Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
    It rode us all the way to New Orleans
    I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
    I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
    Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
    We sang every song that driver knew
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
    Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
    And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
    You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
    From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
    There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
    Through all kinds of weather, through…

    Blame it all on my roots
    I showed up in boots
    And ruined your black tie affair
    The last one to know
    The last one to show
    I was the last one you thought you'd see there
    And I saw the surprise
    And the fear in his eyes
    When I took his glass of champagne
    And I toasted you
    Said "honey, we may be through"
    But you'll never hear me complain
    'Cause I've got friends in low places
    Where the whiskey drowns
    And the beer chases my blues away
    And I'll be okay
    I'm not big on social graces
    Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
    Oh, I've got friends in low places
    Well, I guess I was wrong
    I just don't belong
    But then, I've been there before
    Everything's all right
    I'll just say goodnight
    And I'll show myself to the door
    Hey, I didn't mean
    To cause a big scene
    Just give me an hour and…

    One


    Is it getting better
    Or do you feel the same?
    Will it make it easier on you now?
    You got someone to blame
    You say one love, one life (One life)
    It's one need in the night
    One love (one love), get to share it
    Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it
    Did I disappoint you?
    Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
    You act like you never had love
    And you want me to go without
    Well it's too late, tonight
    To drag the past out into the light
    We're one, but we're not the same
    We get to carry each other
    Carry each other
    One, one
    One, one
    One, one
    One, one
    Have you come here for forgiveness?
    Have you come to raise the dead?
    Have you come here to play Jesus?
    To the lepers in your head
    Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
    You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
    We're one,

    Peace

    And now the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain
    My friend, I'll say it clear
    I'll state my case of which I'm certain
    I've lived a life that's full
    I've travelled each and every highway
    And more, much more than this
    I did it my way
    Regrets, I've had a few
    But then again, too few to mention
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption
    I planned each chartered course
    Each careful step along the by-way
    And more, much more than this
    I did it my way
    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew
    But through it all when there was doubt
    I ate it up and spit it out
    I faced it all and I stood tall
    And did it my way
    I've loved, I've laughed, and cried
    I've had my fill, my share of losing
    And now, as tears subside
    I find it all so amusing
    To think I did all that
    And may I say, not in a shy way
    Oh no, oh no, not me
    I did it my way
    For what is a man, what has he got?
    If not himself then he has naught
    To say the things he truly feels
    And not the words of one who kneels
    The record shows I took the blows
    And did it my way
    Yes, it was my way
