UNPLUGGED IN N.Y.

ABOUT A GIRL

I need an easy friend
I do...whit an ear to lend
I do...think you fit this shoe
I do...won´t you have a clue

I´ll take advantage while
you hang me out to dry
but I can´t see you every night
free

I´m standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too
I do... keep a date with you

COME AS YOU ARE

Come as you are, as you were,
as I want you to be
as a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
take your time, hurry up
the choice is your, don´t be late
take a rest as a friend as old memoria

come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
as I want you to be
as a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

and I swear that I don´t have gun
ni I don´t have a gun

JESUS DOESN´T WANT ME FOR A SUNBEAM

Jesus doesn´t want me for a sunbeam
sunbeam are never made like me

don´t expect me to cry,
for all the reasons you had to die
dont´t ever ask your love of me

don´t expect me to cry
don´t expect me to lie don´t expect me to die for me

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
although I wasn´t there, he said I was his friend
which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

oh no, not me
I never lost control
you´re face to face
whit the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook hishand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
we must have died alone, a long long time ago

who knows? not me
we never lost control
you´re face to face
with the man who sold the world

PENNYROYAL TEA

I´m on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

sit and drink pennyroyal tea
distill the life that´s insade of me
sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I´m anemic royalty

give me a leonard coken alterworld
so I can sigh eternally
I´m so tired I can´t sleep
I´m a llar and a thelf

sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I´m anemic royalty
I´m on warm milk and laxatives
cherry-flavored antacids

DUMB

I´m not like them
but I can pretend
the sun is gone
but I have a light
the day is done
but I´m having fun

I think I´m dumb
or maybe just happy
think I´m just happy

my heart is broke
but I have some glue
help me inhale
and mend it with you
we´ll float around
and hang out on clouds
them we´ll come down
and have a hangover
have a hangover

skin the sun
fall asleep
wish away
the sould is cheap
lesson learned
wish me luck
soothe the burn
wake me up

I´m not like them
but I can pretend
the sun is gone
but I have a light
the day is done
but I´m having fun

I think I´m dumb

POLLY

Polly wants a cracker
think I should get off of her first
I think she wants some water
to put out the blow torch

It isn´t me
we have some seed
let me clip
your dirty wings
let me take a ride
don´t hurt yourself
I want some help
to help myself
I´ve got some rope
you have been told
I promise you
I have been true
let me take a ride
don´t hurt yourself
I want some help
to help myself

polly wants a cracker
maybe she would like more food
she asks me to untie her
a chase would be nice for a few

polly says her back hurts
and she´s just as bored as me
she caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

ON A PLAIN

I´ll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched´til I bled

I love myself better than you
I know It´s wrong so what should I do?

the finest day that I ever had
was when I learned to cry on command

I´m on plain
I can´t complain

my mother died every night
It´s safe to say don´t quote me on that

the black sheep got blackmailed again
forgot to put on the zip code

somewhere I have heard this before
in a dream my memory has stored

as a defense I´m neutered and spayed
what the hell am I trying to say

It is now time to make it unclear
to write off lines that don´t make sense

one more special message to go
and then I´m done then I can go home

SOMETHING IN THE WAY

Underneath the bridge
the tarp has sprung a leak
and the animals I´ve trapped
have all become my pets
and I´m living off of grass
and the drippings from the ceiling
but it´s ok eat fish
cause they haven´t any feelings

something in the way

PLATEAU

Many of hand, a skilled de grand
Oh the face of the plateau
Some belonged to strangers
And some the folks you know

Holy ghosts and talk show hosts
Are planted in the sand
Beautify the foothills
Shake the many hands

Nuthin on the top
But a bucket and a mop
And a illustrated book about birds
You see alot up there, but dont be scared
Who needs action when you got words

You've finished with the mop
And you cant stop
And look at what youve done
The plateaus clean
No dirt to be seen
And the work, it was fun

Nuthin on the top
But a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see alot up there, but dont be scared
Who needs actions when you got words

Many hands began to scan
Around for the next plateau
Some say it was greenland
Some say mexico

Others decided it was nowhere
Except for where they stood
Those were all just guesses
Wouldn't help you, if they could

OH ME

If I had to lose a smile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
the way I do

I don´t have to think
I only have to do it
the results are always perfect
and that´s old news

would you like to hear my voice
sprinkled with emotion
invented at your birth?

I can´t see the end of me
my whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
stored deep inside me

LAKE OF FIRE

Where do bad folks go when they die?
they don´t go to heaven where the angels fly
they go down to the lake of fire and fry
won´t see them again till the fourth of july

I knew a lady who came from duluth
she got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
she went to her grave just a little too soon
and she flew away howling on the yellow moon

now the people cry and the people moan
and they look for a dry place to call their home
and try to find some place to rest their bones
while the angels and the devils
fight to claim them for their own

WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT

My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl where will you go
Im goin where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

The house them walls a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a drivin wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
Shiver for me

My girl, my girl where will you go
Im goin where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl where will you go
Im goin where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines sunshine
I will shiver the whole night through
