L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back to find the simpler place and time
I'll be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine

Midnight Train to Georgia

Sit up high I'm strong enough
To take these dreams
and make them mine

Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets

I just want to be heard, loud and clear are my words
Comin' from within man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution in your heart and in your mind
You can't find the conclusion, life-style and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothing but a life long lesson

Without, within
you know how I have been
Inside, hollow
without within my soul
a seed in the snow
without the will to grow
i'm caving in
i am without within

Who cried a river and
Drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad
In photographs, I absolutely
Love her...when she smiles

I want someone to love
A girl that when i think of
Will put a smile on my face
I want to hold her hand
Want her to understand
There's got to be a better place

Than this world cause this
Is the best time of our lives
Should I be thinking about that now
She turns my world around
I let it happen everytime

I want a lot of things
Selfishness always seem to bring
All the pain back in my mind
Which way to go
Answers to questions I don't know
There's better things that we can find

There's an empty place inside that is hurting me
A place that keeps my heart out on it's own
A disconnected function of my wretchedness
That keeps me so hard pressed
It's a place where words are spoken you will never hear
A broken bridge of lines that just won't come
An empty lung that won't give the wind to speak at me
How far can I be from home

Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so mean to me

Mean to Me

When i call on the telephone.
And i don't know what you mean to me
But i want to turn you on, turn you up,
Figure you out, i want to take you on

These words, "you will be mine." All the time."

The only thing
that ever makes sense in
my life

Is the sound of
my little girl laughing
throughthe window of a
summer night
I sit alone in the backyard
wishing I could be inside
Just the sound of
My little girl laughing

....Makes me happy
Just to be alive

Here he come walking down the street
Got them funky ragged things on his feet
He got half a busted moon in his smile
Now I know he's walked that long and lonely mile

He's got the waistcoat made of sad, sad, sack
He see a red door and he want to paint it black
He's got a vote for you now if you dare
To not pretend that he's not there

I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give life to the moon to assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors and then rapidly you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where Hydrogen is built into Helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives

We need its light, we need its heat
The sun light that we seek
The sun light comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy

As you should martha..as you should. You stumped us.

I'd better get this ball rolling again

You can walk all over me
tomorrow

But tonight
Can't we both
Just pretend to sleep

I think we're headed for a big fall
I think we're headed for a bad time

I'm going down stairs to sit in that chair you like.

you're gonna take me apart
with every little thing you think you know
from pieces, to pieces
the lonely leaves are the last to fall

i don't know why, where, or what exactly i didn't do
i've had to take a tougher way
maybe not today

tomorrow tells me
i've got no place to go
so i won't pretend to know
what it is inside that makes me stand beside you

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end, crippling our communication.

close your eyes
your christ has come
the crippled boy that you once knew
the charmed enigma
chosen one with painted lips
skin ripped and torn
come touch and feel and lick and smell
this envy that i've worn so well
everybody wants
everybody says
everybody begs in time

and you will be the first to fall
every feeling will dissolve
we are silver
morphine baby's final breath
ever smothered to my chest
we are silver

I stand atop a spiral stair, an oracle confronts me there.
He leads me on light years away through astral nights, galactic days,
I see the works of gifted hands that grace this strange and wondrous land.
I see the hand of man arise with hungry mind and open eyes.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
