I can see us lost across the mountains |
|
And our heads are filled with dental gold and counselling. |
|
I do not believe that anyone here has found it |
|
But I know it's no on top of some damn mountain. |
|
But it's always mounting. |
|
I had a friend who moved himself up to Tehachapi. |
|
He said "All this desert air is gonna be so good for me." |
|
But don't you see that I wish it was that he might still be here with me |
|
And I hope that all of you will not fall so easily. |
|
Loneliness confuses me. |
|
All the teenagers that were exiting the Bluebird school buses, the boys were tender and slender and the girls all wore jeans under their dresses. |
|
There was something about their eyes, something that left a message so I put out my cigarette and walked on up to the nearest one of those kids that I could find and asked him what was on his mind... |
|
The harder the nut, the sweeter the nectar. |
|
I tried and I tried but I could not remember. |
|
I can see you lost across the crosswalk, honey |
|
And I hope you know that happiness will not bring you money. |
|
I can see you laughing but it's not very funny |
|
'cause you crack the nut and the juice runs red and runny, |
|
The blood runs down. |
