lyrics

Come on, baby
Let’s listen to
some Paul Simon as we drive
through West Texas

Come on, baby
Let’s mute the news
I can’t stand the sound
of the chattering classes

Come on, baby
Let’s make sweet love
in motels that once housed
a hopeful nation

Come on, baby
Let’s drop some acid,
embark on cosmic
investigations

When I look at you
I see myself somehow
Became a seed
just had to dig down, down, down

When you look at me
every harp in heaven is plucked
’came the tree of life
just had to grow up, up, up




Come on, baby
Let’s feed each other
ripe peaches as the sky
cries on us

Come on, baby
Let’s become water
Let’s merge with rivers
and tidal floods

Come on, baby
Let’s age in reverse
let’s dance like shaman
in coyote skins

Come on, baby
Let’s joke so dirty
that God, himself
would hide his grin

When I look at you
I see myself somehow
Became a seed
just had to dig down, down, down

When you look at me
every harp in heaven is plucked
’came the tree of life
just had to grow up, up, up

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
