5. _ Song To The Orphans

The moltitude assembled and tried to make the noise
The black blind poet generals
And restless loud white boys
But time grew thin and the axis
Was left somehow incomplete
Where instead of child lions
We found aging junkie sheep
How many wasted have i seen signed "hollywood or bust"
Left to ride them ever ghostly arizona gusts
Oh, cheerleader tramps and kids with big amps
Sounding in the void
High society vamps and ex-heavyweight champs
Mistaking soot for soil

So break me now big mama
As old faithful breaks the day
Believe me, my good linda,
The aurora will shine your way
The confederacy, she's in my name now
And the hounds are held at bay
The axis needs a stronger arm
Do you feel your muscles play?

The doorstep blanket weaver
Madonna she's pushing bells
From house to house to house to house
Giving last kisses and wishing well
To every gypsy, mystic and all star hero
That the kids might find the place
Who've been lost forever to papa and mama
On their weekends out in space
Now the sons they search for fathers
But their fathers have all gone
The lost souls search for saviors
But saviours don't last long
Those aimless, questionless renegade brats
Who live their lives in songs
They run the length of a candle
In a goodnight whisper and a puff they're gone
So break me now big mama
As old faithful breaks the day
Believe me, my good linda,
The aurora will shine your way
The confederacy, she's in my name now
And the hounds are held at bay
The axis needs a stronger arm
Do you feel your muscles play?

The missions are filled with hermits looking for a friend
The terraces are filled with cat-men looking for a way in
There are orphans junked on silver mountains
Lost in celestial alleyways
They wait for that old tramp dog man moses
He takes in all the strays
"now, don't grow on empty legends
Or lonely cradle songs
'cause billy the kid was just a bowery boy
Who made his living twirling his guns"
The night she's long, she's lanky
She speaks in her mother tongue
And lullabies the refugees
With an amplifier's hum

So break us now big mama
As old faithful breaks the day
Believe me, my sweet linda,
Oh, help is sure on the way
The confederacy, she's in my name now
And the hounds are held at bay
The axis needs a stronger arm
Do you feel your muscles play?
The confederacy, she's in my name now
And the hounds are held at bay
The axis needs a stronger arm
Do you feel your muscles play?

12. _ Arabian Nights

Shrieks of sheiks as they run across the movie screen
A thousand sand-dune soldiers led by an arabian queen
And the harem girls move like fancy (clancy's) dancers
In my dirty dreams
And i wake up on the floor clutching the bed-lamp
And mama comes in, she screams
"hey you been out with that tramp again last night
You know that silver-sequined arab black bitch
The one that mama don't like ?"
But mama she sings me moontime melodies
With this great top 40 hook
She shrugs her shoulders, she don't care
Papa just stares and says "mary, look the girl's alright
The girl's alright"

And there's a tenseness in the air he turns and says
Don't you know, can't you feel it "tell me son, what's the word ?"
Because there's something hanging there 'cos you know he can't hear it
Pull back the mist and reveal it but don't go near it
And even if you fear what you near it's criticized as too absurd
Don't conceal it even the animals fear it
'cos if what mama feels is too real papa says "fetch me my flashlight,
Son"
She just claims she don't feel it and she stumbles out the front door

So come out from behind your bunkers
'cos the lift-off's been a bust
Oh papa's gone and mama's dead
And buried in my rocket dust
You're alone now for the first time
Don't worry, 'cos that's all right
All fear will completely disappear
Come the arabian night

Well the soundman smiles and turns the dials
To set the meter readin' rising
He pulls the singer's voice from out of his pocket
To see if the audience likes it
Oh and in the very first row sits sweet jenny rue
With a bell on her shoe and she wants him to make it
He flicks a switch but jenny moves too fast
And the audience sways to the sound of her shotgun blast
The manager comes running out from behind stage and says
Check the band's arms for bullet holes
Make that man roll up his sleeves"
The drummer shoots himself with cyanide
And then asks to be relieved
And me, i say "well, it's too crazy in here
Which is the stage door out, i gotta get up tomorrow morning for work"
And the promoter says "man, once you're in they all lead out
What's the matter man, ain't you heard ?
There's a war going on on the outside
And i'm paying you to sing like a bird
So get in and get tough or get up and get out
Because things aren't too tight"
I said "don't worry, man, everything's gonna loosen up
Come the arabian night"
Come the arabian night

So i get back in my bed
But outside my window i hear another gang fight
It's duke and the boys against the devil's best man
And both sides have drawn their knives
And duke he's a well-known knife-fighter
And with one quick jab he brings the devil down
He smiles 'cos he knows there's a high bounty on devils
In any god-fearin' town
Well they say duke sold the devil to some priest in pennsylvania
To exhibit on his altar christmas night
But the devil's eyes they still burn red with fire
As long as duke walks upright
And he swears there's a going to be a showdown
Come sundown on the arabian night

Come to the door ma and unlock the chain.
Well i was just passin' through and got caught in the rain.
There's nothing that i want, nothin' that you need say.
Just let me lie down a while and i'll be on my way.

I was no more than a kid when you put me on the southern queen.
With the police on my back i fled to new orleans.
Well i fought in the dockyards for the the money that i made.
And the fight was my home and any blood was my trade.

Baton rouge, ______, and lafayette town.
They payed me the moon, ma, to knock the man down.
Well i did what i did, yeah it come easily.
For as know ma, restraint and mercy were always strangers to me.

I fought champion jack thompson in a field full of mud.
Rain poured through the tent canvas and mixed with our blood.
In the twelfth, slipped my tounge over my broken jaw.
And i pounded his body into the floor.
Well the bell rang and rang and still i kept on.
'til i felt my glove leather slip 'tween his skin and bone.

And the women and the money came fast and the days i lost track.
The women red, the money green, but the numbers were black.
I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets.
Well i took my good share, ma, i have no regrets.

I took the fixed staid hombre with big diamond don. (???)
Well from high in the rafters i watched myself fall.
He raised his arms, stomach twisted, and the sky it went black. (???)
I stuffed my bag with their good money, ma, and never looked back.
Understand me and my, every man plays the game.
Well if you know anyone different then speak out his name.

My life, my face, now you don't recognize.
Well just open the door and look into your dark eyes.
I ask of you nothin', not a kiss not a smile.
Just open the door and let me lie down for a while.

Now the gray rain is fallin' and my ring fightin's done.
So in the work fields and alleys, i take them who'll come.
If you're a better man than me then just step to the line.
Show me your money and speak out your crime.
There's nothin' i want, ma, nuthin' that you need say.
Just let me lie for a while and i'll be on my way.

Well tonight in stockyard, a man draws a circle in the dirt.
I move to the center and take off my shirt.
I study him for the cuts, the scars, the pain, no time can erase.
I move hard to the left and i strike to the face.

[opens very soft and slow, to the tune of mona/she's the one]

I got a date with the preacher's daughter
She give me life she bring me water.
Every sunday i watch her work
Pretty little (siff?) in a pretty little church
Daddy gives her nod she takes collection
Daddy gives her nod she kneels by her side.
Well i'd sell my soul for just one touch
The lord would too if he loved her half as much.

Well i got a date with the preacher's daughter.
Her daddy say that the boy's no good
Just want to raise some (coons?) out through the back woods
Well baby better believe what your daddy say
Just wanna ramrod baby my life away.
It's a long walk to heaven and a road filled with sin
And they better open up the freeway to let me in.

'cuz i got a date with the preacher's daughter
Well now i don't care what the preacher say
Haaaaayyyy
[identical to "haaaaayyyy, mona"]
Well now i don't care what the preacher do
Haaaaayyyy
I don't care what the preacher like
Haaaaayyyy
I don't care what the preacher think
Haaaaayyyy
Leads me to water but won't let me drink.
He leads me to water but won't let me drink.
(big man)

[maracas start, music picks up, bruce starts yelling]

And now it's (whole little world?) on saturday night
Two boys fighting in a halo of light
Car door flung open and a radio loud
And everybody shouting and running around.
Two guys bloody and one i don't know
And all little girls shouting "go billy go"
Go billy go.

Well just as i got the preacher's daughter ready for a light
And (missed a vh fire?) and something ain't right.
And like a she-devil howlin' from the gates of hell
Goddam here come the preacher in his coupe deville
Burnin' up the backroad kicking in the dirt
And oh baby preacher thinks he is church
Well now your lips they shine in the willow mist
And i swear i'd take you down (young croft?) for just one kiss

I got a date with the preacher's daughter
I got a date with the preacher's daughter
And it's haaaaayyyyoooo
I got a date with the preacher's daughter
Hmmmmm...

48. _ Sell It And They Will Come

I fell asleep on the couch last night, woke up with the tv on.
There was a woman in tight cotton exercise shorts
And a big plastic machine she was climbing on.
She said "the abacycle guarantees ten inches off your waist,
And 50 pounds in just 3 minutes a day."
I went to bed knowing the revolution had been postponed
And everything was ok.

You can buy it, you can try it, go right ahead.
But don't be fooled folks, there's only one.
I forget the guy's name but i know somebody must have said
Sell it and they will come boys, sell it and they will come.

I switched the channels and there was evel knievel, i thought that he was
Dead.
I found myself sitting there quietly, hanging on every word he said.
"now folks, the stimulator removes all pain from your life.
And the best day of your life will be when you try this little thing out."
The camera moved in as he said, "now let me tell you ladies and gentlemen,
Pain is something old evel knows a little about"

You can buy it, you can try it, that's what i said.
But don't be fooled folks, there's only one.
I forget that guy's name but i know somebody must have said
Sell it and they will come boys, sell it and they will come.

And a fellow comes on shouting "free haircuts for life!",
Somehow you cut your hair with a vacuum cleaner.
And then i switched the channels and there was dionne warwick, communing
With her psychic friends.
I watched for hours, taking warmth, comfort,
And pleasure in the things that i despise.
Touched by how much they needed me, and that gleeful desperation in their
Eyes.

You can buy it, you can try it, it'll help you in bed.
But don't be fooled folks, there's only one.
I forget that guy's name but i know somebody said
Sell it and they will come boys, sell it and they will come.

So dionne, cher, and all my late-night friends, i drink to your health.
And tony little, america's personal trainer, please kill yourself.
Now i've sold a few things myself in my time, and by the way folks,
There's some t-shirts on your way outside.
Well last night i dreamed of lipstick and tight little cotton shorts
"harder, faster", she breathed.
"one, two, three, four, five"
Ride, sally ride, girl, ride sally ride.

You can buy it, you can try it, it'll help you in bed.
But don't be fooled folks, there's only one.
I forget that guy's name but somebody said
Sell it and they will come boys, sell it and they will come.

60. _ Pilgrim In The Temple Of Love

It was christmas eve, i was standin' in the parking lot
Of "fabulous girls, nude - nude - nude"
In the car next to me there was a young lady givin' a blow-job
To a man in a santa claus suit
His beard was crooked, his hat askew
Embarrassed, i turned to go
When from the back seat of that mazda i heard somebody shout "oh baby, don't
Stop"

And a merry "ho-ho-ho"

When i walked inside, i ordered a beer and a double shot of whisk
And in three minutes i had fallen in love
The dj announced "ladies and gentlemen, from forth worth, texas: lady godiva"
And i sat and worshipped 'neath the angel above
At the end of her set she brushed her hair
Came and sat on the stool to my right
And said "will you buy me a drink?"
My heart beats fast, my trousers grew tight
And wittily i replied "uhhh...."

She showed me a picture of her kid
Said during the day she's an art student
She dances six nights a week for slobs and idiots like this
Of course, present company excluded.

On donner, on dancer, on comet, on blitzen
I'm lost in the valley of the supervixens
Worshippin' at the feet of the goddess above
I'm a pilgrim in the temple of love, ma, just a pilgrim in the temple
Of love

Well then santa came stumblin' in, and somebody shouted
"hey santa, where's your elves?"
He sat down on the stool to my left
And the bartender took a vodka bottle of the shelf
He asked if mrs. claus had called
To tell her he worked on the late shift at the mall
And he was sorry, but he just got through
I turned and i asked him:
"how's the kid this year, santa?"
Beneath his breath he whispered "a merry fuck you"

Well then the owner come over and he was a short gfat ugly guy
With a funny kind of pushed-in face
He shook my hand and said it was the first time
They'd ever had a real superstar in this place
Lady godiva bought me a few drinks
And words came out of my mouth
What they were, i couldn't guess
But it was something about showgirls, lapdancing, motley crue
You can guess the rest

Well i walked outside, snow was falling
I had some toys to put together - it was christmas time
Santa followed me into the parking lot
And threw up on the hood of the car next to mine
I gave him my handkerchief, pulled out onto the highway
And as i sat at the light
I swear i saw a sleigh with a dozen of reindeers
Pull up out of the parking lot and cut across the mall
And a voice shouted "merry christmas to all you assholes
And to all a good fucking night!"

62. _ The Way

63. _ Wings For Wheels (thunder Road)

The screen door slams, christine's (angelina's) dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy orbison singing for the lonely
(hey) that's me (babe) and i want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone (in that mirror) again tonight
Don't run back inside, you know just what i'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe you (we) ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith (well woman) there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey (baby, ah) you're alright
And that's alright with me

This 4/4 she's gonna overheat
Make up your mind girl i gotta get her back out on the street
I know you're lonely like me so baby don't try and fake it
I'm no prince and i can't lay the stars at your feet
But i got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat
There's plenty of room in my front seat, baby if you wanna take it

Oh roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
It's like the rushing touch, the dirty wings them highway angels wear
Well tonight we're gonna find out how it feels
I'm gonna trade in your wings - for wheels
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
Ah, mama, come take my hand (well now try hard chrissie to understand)
We're gonna ride all the way to the promised land
Oh i'm gonna dance all the way, dance all the way
(babe if you're born with nothing in your hands
Hey it's your only chance)
Well i don't know but baby i've been told
There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road
Oh take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
(oh i wish you would come
So leave what you've lost, leave what's grown old on thunder road)

Well now i bought this guitar and i learned how to make it talk
I got my car parked out back if you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
Well i think we could take it all babe, just you and me
Climb in back baby, the ride's for free
Oh come take my hand, we're gonna ride all the way to the promised land
We'll dance all the way
Oh baby i don't know but i've been told
There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road
If we take our chance, take our chance

Now the season's over and i feel it getting cold
I wish i could take you to some sandy beach where we'd never grow old
Ah but baby you know that's just jive
But tonight's bustin' open and i'm alive
Oh do (baby) whay you can to make me feel like a man
But this 4/4/2's gonna overheat
Make up your mind girl, i gotta get her back out on the street
I know you're lonely like me, oh so don't fake it
And maybe i can't lay the stars at your feet
But i got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat
There's plenty of room in my front seat
Oh if you think you can make it, climb in (so christine climb in)
This is town full of losers and baby i was born to win

Oh and i know you took my heart, you thought that you

Ooh i wanted the happy ending, but all i got was
A broken heart

(i sold my heart) i sold my heart to the junkman(i sold my heart) i sold my
Heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

Now i swear it was a movie setting, baby i played my part
And all i wanted was a happy ending,
But now i'm left with a broken heart
(now he's left with a broken heart)
(i sold my heart) i sold my heart to the junkman
(i sold my heart) i sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

I gave my heart to you, so open and trusting
And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting
(so i sold) i sold my heart to the junkman
(yes i sold) i sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

Yes i did sold my heart to the junkman
Yes i did, yes i did
Sold my heart to the junkman
Now i can never fall in love again
Since i sold my heart to the junkman.

82. _ In Freehold

I was born right here on randolph st. in freehold
Here, right behind that big red maple in freehold
Well, i went to school right here, got laid, and had my first beer in freehold
Well, my folks both lived and worked right here in freehold
I remember running up the street past the convent and church here in freehold
Chased my daddy down in these bars, first fell in love with this guitar
Here in freehold

Well, i had my first kiss at the ymca canteen on friday night
Maria espinosis tell me where are you tonight?
You were 13 but way ahead of your time, i walked home with a limp but i felt
Fine that night in freehold
Well, the girls at freehold regional they looked pretty fine
Had my heart broke at least a half dozen times
I wonder if they miss me, if they still get the itch
If they'd dump me if they knew i'd strike it rich
Straight out of freehold

Well, tex rest in peace, and marion gave us kids a hand in freehold
George and i started up a little rock and roll band in freehold
Well, we learned pretty quick how to rock, i'll never forget the feeling
Of that first 5 bucks in my pocket that i earned in freehold
I got outta here really hard and fast in freehold
Everyone wanted to kick my ass back there in freehold
Well, if you were different, black or brown
It was a bit of a red neck town back then in freehold

Well, something broke my daddy's back in freehold
In '69 he left and he never come back to freehold
Said, once he drove to california, 3000 miles in 3 days
Called my relatives some dirty names and drove straight out of freehold
My sister had her first little baby at 17 in freehold
Well, people they can be pretty mean
Honey, you had a rough road to go, but you ain't made of nothin' but soul
I love you more than you'll ever know
We both survived freehold

Well, my buddy mike, he's the mayor now in freehold
I remember when we used to have a lot more hair in freehold
Well, i left and swore i'd never walk these streets again, jack
Tonight all i can say is, holy shit i'm back, back in freehold
Well, this summer everything was green in freehold
Rode my kids on the fire engine through the streets of freehold
I showed 'em where daddy was born and raised, and first felt the sun on his
Face
There in freehold
I still got a lot of good friends right here in town
I can usually find me a free beer somewhere, with offers of free meals i am
Blessed...
Should i go crazy, blow all my money and ruin my life,
Well at least i'll never go hungry, i guess, here in freehold

Well, i got a good catholic education here in freehold
Led to an awful lot of masturbation here in freehold
Father, it was just something i did for a smile
Hell, i still get a good one off once in a while
And dedicate it to freehold
Don't get me wrong, i ain't puttin' nobody down
Hell, in the end it all just goes and comes around
It's one hell of a town
Freehold....

89. _ Chevrolet Deluxe

I had a wife and kid, and i tried to settle down
I just wanted to live an honest life on the edge of an honest town.
But in the end they left me danglin' danglin (in the night?)
And i went crazy tryin', tryin' to walk that thin line.

Oh chevrolet deluxe, i bought you with all your accessories,
Oh chevrolet deluxe, i bought you with all your accessories,
But mister, i can't keep my payments up
I lie awake at night and wonder if i'm tough enough
To win back the hand of chevrolet deluxe.
......
They shut the power off down at the mill (the count the third time?)
And these days when you ride down main street
It's just whitewashed windows and vacancy signs
Did you ever think til the end your kids you would never believe
That if you would leave this old town, that it would leave me.

My brother's down in ft bragg, been there for half a year
Man he just got into too much trouble around here.

Chevrolet deluxe, i bought her with all the accessories,
But mister, i can't keep those payments up
Chevrolet deluxe, i lost my heart, i lost my guts....
......
She was sittin' down at highway chevrolet out on route 3
She was lookin'g like she was waitin' just for me
I worked all summer long and i saved my money up
And i went down and i put that money down

In the fall, billy, (...?)
I drove him down rode down together down to fort bragg
In the years that he was gone (...?)
(...?) in the refinery (...?) go along

Chevrolet deluxe, i bought her with all the accessories,
(...?)
Another year end gone, and billy he came home
(...?)

But it was like all of a sudden there was a curse
Things got band and things got worse
Hmmm... went the power there down at the mill
Hmmm... the thrill when they shut the power down at the mill
(...?)

Chevrolet deluxe, i bought her with all the accessories,
But i can't keep those payments up
Chevrolet deluxe

(...?) you were so clear to see
Now when i wake in the mornging i don't know what's happening to me

Chevrolet deluxe, i bought her with all the accessories,
Mister i can't keep those payments up
Chevrolet deluxe you let me down took the heart right out of me

I saw her when i was 17 down at hansen's chevrolet
I made up my mind to get her any how, any way.
That whole summer i worked until i had enough
Then i went and put my money down on that chevrolet deluxe.

[...]
Chevrolet deluxe, i bought her with all the accessories,
But mister, i can't keep those payments up
Chevrolet deluxe, i lost my heart, she took my gut...

It don't matter what you want, it don't matter what you say,
Are you tough enough not to play the way they play.

I was born right here on randolph street in freehold
Here right behind that big red maple in freehold
Well, i went to school right here
Got laid and had my first beer
In freehold

Well, my folks always lived and worked right here in freehold
I remember running up the street, past the condo to the church here in
Freehold
Chase my daddy down in these bars
First fell in love with this guitar
Here in frehold

Well, i had my first kiss at the ymca canteen on a friday night
Maria espenoza tell me where are you tonight?
You were 13 but way ahead of your time
I walked home with a limp but i felt fine
That night in freehold

Well, the girls at freehold regional they looked pretty fine
And my heart broke at least half a dozen times
I wonder if they miss me, they still get the itch
Would they have dumped me if they knew i'd strike it rich?
Straight out of freehold

Well, tex, rest in peace, and marion gave us kids a hand in freehold
George and me started up a little rock and roll band in freehold
Well, we learned pretty quick how to rock it
I'll never forget the feeling of that first 5 bucks in my pocket
That i earned in freehold

Well, i got outta here really hard and fast in freehold
Everybody wanted to kick my ass back there in freehold
Well, if you were different, black or brown
It was a bit of a redneck town
Back then in freehold

Well, something broke my daddy's back in freehold
In '69 he left and he never come back to freehold
'cept once he drove from california, 3000 miles in three days
Called my mothers relatives some dirty names
And pulled straight out of freehold

My sister had her first little baby at 17 in freehold
Well people they can be pretty mean
Honey, you had a rough road to go, but you ain't made of nothin' but soul
I love you more than you'll ever know
We both survived freehold

Well, my buddy mike, well, he's the mayor now in freehold
I remember when we used to have a lot more hair in freehold
Well, i left and swore i'd never walk these streets again, jack
Tonight all i can say is "holy shit, i'm back!"
Back in freehold

Well, this summer everything was green in freehold
Rode my kids on the fire engine through the streets of freehold
I showed 'em where their dad was born and raised
And first felt the sun on his face
There in freehold

Well, i still got a lot of good friends right here in town
I can usually find me a free beer somewhere
With offers of free meals i am blessed
Should i go crazy, blow all my money and ruin my life, well, at least i'll
Never go hungry i guess
Here in freehold

Well, i got a good catholic education here in freehold
Led to an awful lot of masturbation here in freehold
Father, it was just something i did for a smile
Hell, i still get a good one off once in a while
And dedicate it to freehold
Don't get me wrong, i ain't puttin' anybody down
Hell, in the end it all just goes and comes around
It's one hell of a town, freehold!

101. _ Get Up Stand Up

102. _ Like A Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you
People called say beware doll
You're bound to fall
You thought they were all
Kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging it out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging
For your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest school
Allright miss lonely
But you know you only used to get
Juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you
How to live in the street
And now you're gonna have to get
Used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp
But now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to do
Make a deal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your homewith no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people
Get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse
With your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything
He could steal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To hang on your home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Princess on the steeple
And all the pretty people
They're drinking thinking
That they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better
Take a diamond ring
You'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At napoleon in rags
And the language that he used
Go to him now he calls you
You can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing
You got nothing to lose
You are invisible nowyou got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

(early version)

Well the rangers had a home-coming in harlem late last night
And the magic rat piloted his sleek machine across the jersey state line
Barefoot girl sits drinking warm beer on the hood of an old dodge
In the soft summer rain
Rat rolls up his pants, together they'd make a stab at romance
And move down flamingo lane

Well now the maximum lawmen they run down the flamingo chasing the rat
And the barefoot girl
But the kids they live like shadows in empty doorways
(but they live like shadows in the vacant doorways)
Always silent, holding hands
The rat pulls her close (the rat pulls mary close)
And from the churches to the jails there is silence in the world
(all is silent in the world)
For tonight they'd take their chance
Down here in jungleland

Well ther's a crazy kind of light tonight
Brighter than the one that sparkles for prophets
Brighter than the giant exxon sign that brings this fair city light
There's an opera out on the turnpike, there's a ballet being fought outside
The
Alley
Well the cops they let their faces show and rips this holy night
The streets alive with tough-kid jets in nova-light machines
Boys flash guitars like bayonets and rip holes in their jeans
Then the hungry and the haunted explode into rock 'n' roll bands
They face off against each other when they meet
Down here in jungleland

The streets's on fire in a classic death waltz
Between the masters of flesh and fantasy
The poets down here don't write nothin' at all, they just stand and and let
It all be
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment to make an honest
Stand
But they wind up wounded, not rightly dead, down here in jungleland - yes
They do

Oh beneath the city their hearts beat, soul cool engines tired and brave
Oh as the young (jungle) girls stand by fire angels fallen in the city
In the tunnels of machines they'll hear the screams
Drowned out by the roarin' trains
Them rats above, oh locked in love
The rat saves her from the edge of an on-coming train
That angel rides a...
Down here in jungleland - oh yes they do
They hear the animals sing - oh oh oh

Alternative verses:
===================
In the parking lots the visionairies are dressed in the latest rage
As the spanish angels dance soft and low in a blacked arcade
But the lights are so bright as he crosses the room
The band moves into the song
He takes her hand, looks in her eyes and they're gone - gone
In the tunnel of machines the rat chases his dreams
On that forever (lasting) burning light
So the barefoot girl crawls into bed, shakes her head
And with a kiss and a sigh she shuts out all the light

Beneath the city their hearts beat, soul cool engines silent and...
Oh until the girls cry like silent angels in port authority halls
In the tunnel of machines they'll hear the screams
Drowned out by the roarin' train
And layers above, oh locked in love
The rat reappears on flamingo lane
Then an angel rises from the sands
And disappears - down in jungleland

Behind the walls where heat lightning falls
On five starred gnat-faced princess
The buffalo man shoots at the tin cats
Turns and shouts "children, blow your bridges"
On death row halls where dustmen stall
Where time's an enemy and a friend
At night jackals crawl from the cracks in the walls
And salvation is never spoken
Morning sickness breaks the garrison gate
The cavalry cries for treason
The soldier strokes his pony and goes to shine the captain's sword
In this young boy's eyes lie reason
And the sergeant bursts in and cries "i caught a prisoner, captain,
A prisoner, what ho !"
The captain looks up and says "let her go"
"but captain, she patrols the light ships that patrol the sea around
The rainbow tips, whose bagpiper wail unbroken
She haunts the night and the dawnin' light
On her sounds and words your cavalry chokin' "
The captain says "have no fear, boys
For what you hear
Because danger can't be spoken "

The whirlwind crackles and i hear the rustle of shackles
From the stockade door bursts merlin
His eyes red, and swollen, like they've been pushed into the sun
His robes aflame and burnin'
He jumps a horse, tries to get away
But he gets caught in his eyes, tangled in his eyes
He falls to the ground, his neck is broken
His spirit rises high in the western sky

The magician lies an empty token
The sergeant walks over and kicks his body
And says "captain, he's dead - what shall we do with him ?"
The captain says "hang him
For though his live moments on this earth are well spent
And i can se his body is sure well bent
It's magic that must be broken "

Now night cradles low
The penniless weed plays wrath felt in the captain's corner
With anvil spread wide, the captain glides
Each blow to scare her, not to hurt her
She spits "what truth" at the captain's boots
But he holds his rage suspended
The sergeant comes in stinkin' of soldier's gin
And cries "captain, the storm she blows unending"
Oh and the lightning cracked and the sky was hacked
By dagger rain it was torn
And the yard was charged into a raging sea
And the captain ran crazily
For the first time in his life, in the captain's heart
Fear was born

The captain storms out on the stoop, panic strikes
He sees merlin's hung body stretched by the neck
Silhouetted on his door
The sergeant screams "captain, look high, look to the sky !"
Some whirling, swirling emission ...
But the captain falls to his knees crying silent pleas
'cause he knows, he knows, and he thinks to himself
"a magician..."

137. _ Tweeter And The Monkey Man

Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash,
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash,
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan.
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man.

Tweeter was a boy scout 'fore she went to vietnam,
And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn.
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line,
So they hopped into a stolen car, took highway 99.

And the walls came down,
All the way to hell.
Never saw them when they're standing,
Never saw them when they fell.

The undercover cop never liked the monkey man,
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can.
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named bill,
She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill.

It was out on thunder road, tweeter at the wheel,
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal.
The undercover cop pulled up and said "everyone of you's a liar,
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire."

And the walls came down,
All the way to hell.
Never saw them when they're standing,
Never saw them when they fell.

An ambulance rolled up, a state-trooper close behind,
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind.
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree,
Near the souvenir stand, by the old abandoned factory.

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit,
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot.
Jan had told him many times, "it was you to me who taught
In jersey anything's legal, as long as you don't get caught".

And the walls came down,
All the way to hell.
Never saw them when they're standing,
Never saw them when they fell.

Some place by rahwey prison they ran out of gas,
The undercover cop had cornered them, said,
"boy you didn't think this could last?"
Jan jumped out of bed, said, "there's someplace i gotta go".
She took the gun out of the drawer, said, "it's best that you don't know".

The undercover cop was found face down in a field,
The monkey man was on the river bridge, using tweeter as a shield.
Jan said to the monkey man, "i'm not fooled by tweeter's curl,
I knew him long before he became a jersey girl."

And the walls came down,
All the way to hell.
Never saw them when they're standing,
Never saw them when they fell.

Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again,
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the lion's den.
The tv set was blown up, every bit of it is gone,
Ever since the nightly news showed that the monkey man was on.

I guess i'll go to florida and get myself some sun,
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done.
Sometimes i think of tweeter, sometimes i think of jan,
Sometimes i don't think about nothing but the monkey man.

And the walls came down,
All the way to hell.
Never saw them when they're standing,
Never saw them when they fell.
