Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight I'm gonna open up your gate And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra And how she gave me life And how she made it end Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight

There's a wind blowin' down the canyon So hot and dry, the rocks turn red. Shade grows thin and shrinks to nothin' As the sun climbs overhead.
What can I say? You said it all, Your words ride on the desert wind Tellin' me about tomorrow And how a heart can love again.
Did you see the stars as you lay sleepin' As they crossed the midnight sky? I could hear my own heart beatin' In the stillness of the night.
What can I say? You said it all, Your words ride on the desert wind Tellin' me about tomorrow And how a heart can love again.
It's all alone with the earth and sky, The hours are long, the days are slow. Your lovin' ways, like the wind, remind me There is so much that I do not know.
What can I say? You said it all, Your words ride on the desert wind Tellin' me about tomorrow And how a heart can love again.

When I was a little boy (When I was just a boy) And my mother would call my name (When I was just a boy) She'd say I had to be in the house by seven (When I was just a boy)
But I'd stay out late at night (When I was just a boy) And when I'd finally get back in Oh, I know she'd hit me, she'd hit me She'd sit me on her knees and whip me
Oh, she'd hit me with a rock She'd whip me with a rock, oh baby She'd hit me (hit me with a rock) She'd hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me (Hit me with a rock)
And when I was grown to be a man (Grown to be a man) The minute the boss would call my name (Grown to be a man) And say I had to be in the office by seven (Grown to be a man)
I'm a constipated man (Grown to be a man) And when I'd finally get back in Oh, my boss'd hit me, he'd hit me He'd tie me to a chair and whip me
Oh he'd hit me with a rock He'd whip me with a rock, oh baby He'd hit me (hit me with a rock) He'd hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me (Hit me with a rock)
When I was grown to be President (Was the President) The minute the congress'd call my name (Was the President) And said some papers had to be signed by Thursday (Had to be signed by Thursday)
I'd fly away to Pakistan (Was the President) And the second that I'd get back home Oh, I know they'd hit me, they'd hit me With leather and chains they'd whip me
Oh, they'd hit me with a rock They'd whip me with a rock, oh baby They'd hit me. (Hit me with a rock) They'd hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me (Hit me with a rock) Hit me, hit me, hit me (Hit me with a rock) They'd hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me (Hit me with a rock) Yah yah yah yah yah yah (Hit me with a rock) (Hit with a rock) Ow, whaddaya doin' to me, get away from me (Hit with a rock, oh baby) (Hit with a rock) (He's gettin' hit with a rock) (He's gettin' hit with a rock, oh baby) (Hit with a rock)
Wait a minute, hold it I think he's dead Let's leave Let's get out of here, man

And how many bodies and how many boxes Before it's all over? And how many tears do I have to cry Before they wash me away? Heads I do: It's a comedy Tails I don't: And I see another day
With my pockets full of platitudes And my dusty crown of thorns Yeah it's used but barely worn And I have crawled broke and desperate Through the dumpsters of the Lord

Ridin' in the bus down the boulevard And the place was really packed. Couldn't find a seat, so I had to stand With the perverts in the back. It was smelling like a locker room, There was junk all over the floor. There isn't any room for me to breathe, And now we're gonna pick up more. Look Out! Another one rides the bus.

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart How the music can free her, whenever it starts And it's magic, if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

The suckers lose themselves in the games they learn to play, and children love to sing, but then their voices slowly fade away. People always take a step away from what is true, that's why I like you around...yeah, I want you.
An open invitation to the dance, happenstance sets the vibe that we're in, no apology because my urge is genuine, and the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine. Here I am, and I want to take a hit of your scent, because it bit so deep into my soul.
The village churchyard is filled with bones weeping in the grave, a silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save. You want to know how deeply my soul goes? Deeper than bones, deeper than bones.
So after we did it by the windowsill, with smoke rings drifting through the midnight sky, presently, in the quilt that your mother made a prayer candle burns to fight off the gloom. You say "To live this way is not for the meek" and like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep. I say they're be no regret when the worms come, as they shall surely come.

I hate when my connection fails for no reason...
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody Help! You know I need someone Help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. But now those days are gone and I'm not so self-assured Now I find I've changed my mind, I open up the door.

Will there ever be Someone to give her heart to me Or would I be to blind to see it I wouldn't make a sound I'd keep it underground It always seems like I'm running around around Running around around Round
Here's my story, sad but true About a girl that I once knew She took my love then ran around With every single guy in town
Ah, I should have known it from the very start This girl will leave ya with a broken heart Now listen people what I'm telling you A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
I miss her lips and the smile on her face The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace So if you don't wanna cry like I do A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
Ah, she likes to travel around She'll love you but she'll put you down Now listen people let me put you wise Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows I fell in love and my love still grows Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say Keep away from-a Runaround Sue
She likes to travel around She'll love you but she'll put you down Now people let me put you wise Sue goes out with other guys

The sky grows bigger every day And the other week I hopped on a train Cutting through state lines To come to you as the crow flies And out there in there offing everything was melon and orange Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets I just want you to know that every pool of water reminds me of you Is that all right? I hope you think it's cool 'Cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to Everything seemed a little easier when we weren't one hundred miles apart The person across from me sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you And I looked out past her cheeks through the glass-light conduit But the sun had sunk already Disappeared into New Jersey Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?

Autumn air it carries me there Less than an hour to go Six hundred miles an hour And still it feels so slow I'm trying to get back to Burlington To a square in the center of town To a spot on a wooden table Where her feet didn't reach the ground And when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon And her skin smells of cider and rose And when she looked at me we both got quiet And my heart beats so hard we were in so close Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile

The stars at night are big and bright Deep in the heart of Texas, The prairie sky is wide and high Deep in the heart of Texas. The sage in bloom is like perfume Deep in the heart of Texas, Reminds me of the gal I love Deep in the heart of Texas.
The coyotes wail along the trail Deep in the heart of Texas, The rabbits rush beneath the brush Deep in the heart of Texas. The cowboys cry "Ki-yippee-i" Deep in the heart of Texas, The dogies bawl and bawl and bawl Deep in the heart of Texas.

Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" You thought they were all kiddin' you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
