They kill it in the comedy clubs, killing in the schools
Make a killin' on Wall Street, it's just the golden rule
Do unto others is surely what they do
Remember the memories, we were all once children too
Ashes, ashes, all in the name of who?
We say howdy neighbor? I love you, mom and dad
But if you're a stranger you must want something we have
I know you don't like me, am I really that bad?
Remember the schoolyard, there were no strangers, oh, in that sand
Fascist, fascist, ooh, let's see a show of hands
All gonna fly, we're gonna need a safe place tonight
This is the picture I painted this morning
These are the colors, memories forming
These are the pictures that we painted together
We elected our leaders, so we've been told
Got no right to complain, oh, we've bought what they sold
Slogan of the day is put peace on hold
Lennon would have us laughing, oh, if we'd just let him grow
Pacifist, pacifist, oh, ain't we a sight to behold
Some people feel so much, we're making new drugs
Mister Rogers and Oprah, other channels have blood
Tryin', dyin', water and mud
Forgive for the love, take a walk on the flood
Forgiving for the love, walk on the flood
Ashes, ashes, and blood on the flood
This is the picture I painted this morning
These are the colors, oh, this was my warning
These are the pictures
These are the pictures I painted this morning
These are the colors, memories forming
These are the pictures, oh, we painted together
I wanna be free right now
Voices inside my head
I know I'll be free somehow
Quietest voices said
Oh, staying awake a while
Old movies in black and bliss
Lost and still found somehow
In a place like this, a place just like this
Little windows of fantasy
Her eyes telling what she sees
Stepping back from this world for now
I think that I'll be coming 'round
I think I should be coming 'round
Wanna be free somehow
See the forest for the grass
Wonder through it all
Through the looking glass
A smile appears in the tree branch there
Take the Hatter's words in jest
Don't wake her up, she could be dreaming you
Just taking a little rest, a couple of moments rest
Kids remembering just to be, make it up as they go
Oh, stepping back from the mirrors and smoke
And I think that I'll be coming 'round
Think I might be coming 'round
I guess that I'll be coming 'round
I wanna be free somehow
Voices inside my head
Oh, I got to be free right now
The quietest voices said
Settle in for a while
Some things we'll never miss
We're lost and still found somehow
What are you doing in a place like this?
Nice girl in a place like this
Like she's watching a comedy
She's laughing in her sleep
Drifting out of my body now
Don't think I'll be coming down
I don't think I'll be coming down
Don't think I'll be coming down
She complained, you look different, yeah, but I'm keeping my name
You're not drinking the usual, I said it all tastes the same
She fled, you smell like L.A., yeah, but check out my new frames
You know these cool shades make you look bitching
Oh, she split from our table mumbling remember to tip
I had a twenty in ready but I said I might skip
Some people act funny when you're just trying to be hip
Oh, spend a little time outside the kitchen
Magnificent miles, trying out this new walk
And people are watching, it's like stepping on chalk
Learning curves behind like a memory stalks
But in all it's an innocent mission
She rang late last night, said that wasn't you, was it?
I said all colors of money are fit for deposit
Half naked right now, I've got soup in the closet
Oh, it's sometimes with words I'm just fishing
Should I come over? It sounds like you need me
I said, hey, that's funny, you sound like my TV
Just try this thing once, it'll make life so easy
And even puppies come under suspicion
Then a lover came knocking, I opened the door
With an apple in my hand, she said, what's that core?
It's the past and the future, but I shouldn't say more
And that's just my radio hissing
Well, I know you too well and I know you're no villain
I said, don't look now 'cause I'm ripping off Dylan
What you see is a little crusty, the real thing's the fillin?
The sound bite from a verbal beautician
All the jokers in this world, they're swarming like bees
Catch one to the head, make you fall to your knees
Lenny Bruce was a prophet in the 1960's
Two shows at tonight's inquisition
And drifted and dreaming, lost in the bed
Body's ups and down are just food for the head
It's front page and French fries or the funny pages instead
We tickle the truth into submission
All in all it's an innocent mission
Just tickle the truth into submission
And tickle the truth into submission
Rise, rise, rise, fly above your head
Cups are running over, voices out of breath
Time, time, time, and time's have come again
Part another red-eye sea, talking it to death
Just because you mean it
Doesn't mean we've seen it
Call, call, call me through the night
When we finally answer, will they get it right
Oh, run, run, child, run it up the pole
Hard to say you hate 'em , just doing what they're told
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean it's real
Now it's clear, the air in here
Is dragging down the shine as it grows thicker
Others say magic's gone away
Look closer maybe you might see the flicker
Talk, talk, talk, wagging of your tongue
Wishing it was over, doesn't make it done
Cry, baby, cry, now smash up all your chair
Just because we're laughing doesn't mean that we don't care
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean we feel it
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean we feel it
Now it's clear, the air in here
Is dragging down the shine as it grows thicker
Others say magic's gone away
Look closer maybe you will see the flicker
Olden days had their way
Shine escapes, the shadows moving quicker
Now it's clear, the air in here
Shining in the lights, a thousand flickers
Bye, bye, bye, thought you lost a friend
Maybe found the love you seek, leaving in the end
Well, I can't sleep, I've been up all night
Laughin' in Savannah with the Bay Street moon
By the wet smell of sulfur from the cobblestones
I've been up all night, been up all night
Well, I dream of heaven, and I feel like hell
The children in their church clothes
Sunday mornin' bells, my head is spinnin'
They're taking their toll
Been up all night, been up all night
Up all night, been up all night
Been up all night, oh, been up all night
And the best thing about New Years is the Christmas lights
Hiding in the day, exposed at night
Sunrise in my sunset, the Georgia sky
I've been up all night
We've been out all night
Oh, I've been out all night
Up all night , hey
We've up all night, been up all night
Oh, been up all night
