[Unsomnambulist]

Oh, when you were young and your excitement showed
But as time goes by is it outgrown?
Is that the way things go? Forever reaching for the gold
Forever fading black and comes up cold
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh
When you were young, you never knew which way you'd go
What once was grace now undertows
Well everyday do what you can, and if you let them turn you 'round
Whatever goes up must come down
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh
Walking free, oh, come with me, oh
Far away, oh, everyday, oh

One night upon my motorcycle through the desert sped
And it smashed my body so that all my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head
"You are the son of a motherfucker"

One two three four

I shook all night and held her hand
Chocolate people, well I'll be damned
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please, bury me

The joke has come upon me

In my motorcycle mirror I think about the life I've led
And how my soul's been aching all the holes where I have bled
My image spoke to me, yes to me and often said
"You are the son of incestuous union"

One two three

Now my head is clear, my hands washed
My daughter's pure, my son is tall
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please, bury me

The joke has come upon me

Well the dawn is howling and the mainframe shakes
Feel like I've been sleeping in a cellar full of snakes
My wings have been clipped my shoes have been stuck with glue
Well if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
Now I've got goons on my landing thieves on my trail
Nazis on my telephone willing me to fail
They were all sent by someone (obviously well I know it was) you!
Well if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
I've a bucketful of Babylon I got a handful of lead
I'm gonna put them in a gun man point it at your head
Because you stole all my friends and you gave me the buffalo blues
Well if you'll be my enemy I'll be my enemy too
Now from the slime on your tongue to the nails on your toes
From the scales on your skin to the stains on your clothes
You're gonna have to make me do something that I do not want to do
But if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
My hands are tied I'm nailed to the floor
Feel like I'm knocking on the unknown door
There's a gun at my back a blade at my throat
I keep finding hate mail in the pockets of my coat
Well I've been trying to grow I been cooling my heels
I've have been working the treadmill I've been working in the fields
And I can't get to sleep I can't catch my breath
I can't stop talking and I look like death
But I will put right this disgrace I will rearrange you
If you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
If you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
Be my enemy!

I thought I heard you barking
When the Chinese food arrived
I thought you would come running
When I yelled, "Let's go outside!"
I thought I saw you chasing
A rabbit in the yard
I thought I’d see if you’d want to ride
In the front seat of the car
I thought I heard your leash jingle
When I dropped a bite of food
I thought I fell asleep next to next to you

But you don’t have to make me
Believe you're still a pup
I knew when I met you
You never would give up
I'm sorry that I gave you
So much reason for concern
You don't have to worry about me anymore

You found yourself a better place
I’m gonna believe
Where there’s endless carrots
And peanut butter treats
You can spend your everyday
Running on an endless beach
Jumping in the water
Anytime you feel the need
At night you've got the old futon
Or the middle of the bed
You're always tired, looked after and fed.

You don't have to make me
Take you for a walk
I'll put the screens away
I won't try to find faults
I'll be happy when I see friends
Of that you can be sure
You don't have to worry about me anymore

No more leashes
No more baths
No more unshoveled sidewalks
I’d like to think you’d tell me
If last night you could have talked

You didn’t have to take me
Every time you left home
I knew when I met you
I would be the first to go
I was always happy.
I liked to be bored.
You don’t have to worry about me anymore
You don’t have to worry about me anymore

What′s the verb to
Cut it off to
Take a knife and hack away at it
You keep saying
Well that's the last time
You′ll pretend to
Stand aside no matter what we did
I'm not playing
All in all they're
Just enough to
Keep us sliding back to where we were
I′m not waiting
That′s the last time
You get friends who
Will tell you that you walked away with it
And you barely scrape through

I'm tired of fighting she said
Your words just rattle my head
All joy escapes in the dark
And I can′t make this make sense
Your words are lost to me now
I cannot take it, I'm out
I′m stuck here kidding myself
Cause you're out there caring somewhere

So what′s the verb to
Kick it over
Take the time and walk away from it
I'm not playing
That'll never
Sit with us well
We′re far too pious to get out of it
And we′re on our way
I'm tired of fighting you said
Your words just rattle my head
All joy′s escaped in the dark
And I can't make this make sense
Your thoughts are lost to me now

I cannot take it, I′m out
I'm stuck here kidding myself
You′re out there drinking somewhere
I'm sorry I've lost all my hope
I cannot take it no more
I′m stuck here kidding myself
You′re out there laughing somewhere

I tore my heart out, no more
I've burned this bridge and it′s gone
I'm stuck here kidding myself
And you′re out there laughing somewhere
This joy is lost to me now
I cannot take it, I'm out
I′m stuck here kidding myself
And you're out there drinking somewhere
I'm stuck here kidding myself

When someone wants me to listen, I can't
If I'm supposed to do something, I won't
It's hard to tell if I can get along
But I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
Not at all
Just a lot

I walk around the block to avoid you
And that's when I'm in a social mood
It's just my head that hurts me right now
But I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
Not at all
Just a lot

I try to think back on the happiness and fun
It doesn't make much sense to blame you
For the wreck my life's become

Bitterness is reserved for stupid people
Not for someone intelligent like me
I don't have time to feel that way
I do things backwards when I say
That I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
Not at all
Just a lot

Well you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive
No one's going to play the harp when you die

Love will show the way

I’ve spent nearly five decades encouraging citizens to move from debilitating despair to engaged activism. During all of this time, whenever I needed a break or a little inspiration, I turned to music, something I think more and more of us need these days. So it was a special treat to rediscover...

Someone else's world goes by
As my train runs through this night
Someone else's rain comes down
But no rain can touch me now
Smoke and mirrors, special effects
A little fear, a little sex
That's all love is, behind the tears
Smoke and mirrors.

My mast ain't so sturdy
My head is at half
I'm searching the clouds for the score
My lady avails herself
Of marked down freedom
Forever cashed out to no more
She put the blam in the blame
Bullets bearing the name
Of each tigress who's left you a tooth
Save the skins for a pelt
And the rest for a belt
That can't open
No nothing
Can't open
No nothing

Young liars
Thank you for taking my hands

You were wrong when you said
"Everything's gonna be alright"
Yeah, you were wrong when you said
"Everything's gonna be alright"
You were right when you said
"All that glitters isn't gold"
You were right when you said
"All we are is dust in the wind"
You were right when you said
"We are all just bricks in the wall"
And when you said
"Manic depression's a frustrating mess"
You were wrong when you said
"Everything's gonna be alright"
Yeah, you were wrong when you said
"Everything's gonna be alright"
You were wrong when you said
"Everything's gonna be alright"
You were right when you said
"You can't always get what you want"
You were right when you said
"It's a hard rain's gonna fall"
You were right when you said
"We're still running against the wind"
Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone
You were right when you said
"This is the end"
Do you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about it?

In the midst of the war
He offered us peace
And he came like a lover
From out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six-sixty-six

He walked up to the temple
With gold in his hands
And he bought off the priests
And propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot
And laid in the sand
While the band played six-sixty-six

We served at his table
And slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us
And nailed us to the door
Well, I'm ready to die
I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks

He told us he loved us
But that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets
And death in his eyes
Well, my number is up
And I'm willing to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six-sixty
If the band will play six-sixty-six

^ Larry Norman!

The following is all from my cranial random access memory. It's incomplete. Who knows, there might be some mondegreens in there.

I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen
To the radio
They say rock and roll is dead
But, give me one more chance
Yeah, I feel so good
I wanna get up and dance.

This earth is not my home.
I'm just passing through.

I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelry, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in a tree beer tar-black br'er sap
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
Who will tend the farm museums, who will dust today's belongings
Who will sweep the floor, hedging near the givens
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, oh man, I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
A matter of course, Jefferson, drive
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Skylight, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in a tree tar-black br'er sap
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost, lost

When there's a bluebird singing by your window pane
And the sun shines bright all day through
Don't forget boy
Look over your shoulder
Cause there's always someone coming after you

When everything in life seems just as it should be
At last success seems just around the door
Don't forget boy
Look over your shoulder
Cause things don't stay the same forever more

Hope springs eternal in a young man's breast
And he dreams of a better life ahead
Without that dream you are nothing, nothing, nothing
You have to find out for yourself that dream is dead

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears, without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hidin'
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise
To leave them open for so long?
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
But cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learned how not to cry?
