Mr. Soul | A
Child's Claim to Fame | Everydays | Expecting
to Fly |
Well, hello, Mr. Soul
I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of
the season
Why in crowds just the trace of my face could seem so
pleasing
Oh come out to the change but a stranger is putting the
tease on
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a
letter
I was razed by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said “Your strange, but don’t change” and I let
her
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of
disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don’t know, why don’t you ask her
Is it strange I should change? I don’t know, why don’t you ask her
Is it strange
I should change? I don’t know,
why don’t you ask her
There goes another day and I wonder why
You and I keep telling lies
I can’t believe what you say
Cause tomorrow’s lullaby
Can’t pass it by
My lonesome cryin’
Make believe is all you know
And to make believe is a game
A child’s reign
You changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
As you see what you became
Truth is a shame
Too much pain
There goes another day and I wonder why
You and I keep telling lies
Look at the sad goodbyes
Everyday’s a-killin’ time
Sun comin’ up outside
No matter what this time
Saturday’s child stays home
Nothing to say so wrong
Well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day
Grocery store, ten clerks
Just making change, plastic jerks
Up in a tree a jay bird
Yellin’ at me no words
Everyone looks, can’t see
????
Well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day
Something in the way with things
Of ecstasy the sound of trees
Most any breeze
What a baby sees
Beautiful face alright
Many a place uptight
Old woman there with red shoes
A million balloons, all huge
Driving the hills forget fears
Gettin’ it on in second gear
Well, well, another day
Well, well, another day
Something in the way with things
Of ecstasy the sound of trees
Most any breeze
What a baby sees
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye
Knowing that you’d gone
By the summer, it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we’d spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
They ended with a cry
They ended with a cry
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I’d found
Knowing it was gone
If I ever lived without you
Now you know I died
If I ever said I loved you
Now you know I tried
Babe, now you know I tried
Babe, now you know I tried
Babe…
Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can’t tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows only cryin’
Just cryin’
There she sits aloft a perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
Thinks only of you
Just you
Oh, so get all those blues
Must be a thousand yous
And be just differently used
You just know
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
If you can categorize
She got soul, she got soul
She got soul
Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she’s going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Give herself of a bath of tears
And go home, and go home
Look what’s happenin’ to me
I’m going blind
Please help
There I sat until three
Getting further behind myself
By myself
And I’m hung upside down
And I’m hung upside down
Oh, hung upside down
Yes and I’m hung upside down
I’m hung up, hung up, hung upside down
Someday I will be free
And there’ll be time
You just wait
I will come to you
See what I bring you
When I get straight
Oh, it’s too late
And I’m hung upside down
And I’m hung upside down
Hung upside down
Hung upside down
Hung upside down, oh
Soft winds blow in the summer time
Young lovers feel so free
Walking hand and hand down a shady lane
What happened to me?
What happened to me?
Did you ever love a girl
Who walked right out on you?
You should know just how I feel then,
Why I’m so blue
Why I’m so blue
How can I forget those nights
When she kissed me soft and true
And whispered words only lovers know
“I love you”
“I love you”
Well, I’ve made up my mind
I’ll find a new girl
Who’ll love me tenderly
Forget the past I left behind now
To sad memory
To sad memory
Soft winds blow in the summer time…
Now, now, now look what I’ve done
It seems that my own fun
Has all returned back now to sea
Be it all of the good times
And all of my fat lines
???
Cause if it’s right to be a good time boy
If it’s alright, feel good boy
It’s alright to be a good time boy
If it’s all right, it’s all right
Why should I mind
If I step right out of line
And I get caught by her,
Get caught by her , lucky me
Cause now I ???
That’s why they call it, call it good old do
And I can’t, I can’t change right now it seems
If it’s right to be a good time boy
If it’s alright, feel good boy
It’s alright to be a good time boy
If it’s all right, it’s all right
If it’s all right, yeah (sock it to me now)
Baby, it’s alright
Be a boy
There’s a woman that you ought to know
And she’s coming singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll
She’s a joy to know
‘Neath the shadow of her soothing hand
I am free there just to make my plan
Dream of far away land
Anything close at hand
And she will follow me
Why, do you know?
Familiar places she’s been by that I know
Could it be she don’t have to try?
And tomorrow she’s a friend of mine
And the sorrow I see her face is lyin’
She’s no longer mine
She’s just hard to find
"Well, Hello Mr. Soul,
I stopped by to pick up a reason
That the thought..."
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
And when it was over it felt like a dream
They stood at the stage door and begged for scream
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain
Did you see them?
Did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and
narrow
Held a broken arrow?
Eighteen years of American dream
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
His mother had told a trip was a fall
And don’t mention babies at all
Did you see him?
Did you see him?
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and
narrow
Held a broken arrow?
[Drum rolls]
The streets were lined for the wedding parade
The queen wore the white gloves
The county of song
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
They married for peace and were gone
Did you see them?
Did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and
narrow
Held a broken arrow?
[Clarinet waltz]
[Heartbeat]
