Buffalo Springfield Songs

Is my world not falling down
I'm in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren't open
And i'm standing on my knees
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then i'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And i miss you.

Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me round
I wish i could have met you in a place
Where we both belong
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then i'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And i miss you.

Sometimes i feel like i'm just a helpless child
Sometimes i feel like a kid.
But baby, since i have changed
I can't take nothing home.

City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If i'm bright enough to see you,
You're just to dark to care.
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then i'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And i miss you.

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 a 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 him 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 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?

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?

Oh, 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 a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop 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 raised by the praise of a fan who said i upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, you're 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?

Who's that stomping all over my face?
Where's that silhouette i'm trying to trace?
Who's putting sponge in the bells i once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun
To singing the meaning of what's in my mind
Before i can take home what's rightfully mine.
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times.

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,
'cause nowadays clancy can't even sing.

And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing?
Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings?
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score?
And who's trying to act like he's just in between?
The line isn't black, if you know that it's green.
Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see
Who's coming on like he wanted to be.

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,
'cause nowadays clancy can't even sing.

And who's coming home on the old nine-to-five?
Who's got the feeling that he came alive,
Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same
It ain't no gold nugget, you can't lay a claim
Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor
There it is baby, don't you worry no more
Who should be sleepin', but is writing this song
Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong.

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,
'cause nowadays clancy can't even sing.

I just can't seem to get movin'
Love me enough to begin
And i'll never forget you
I hope that you care
More than a little for me
It's so hard to wait.

If i should stand and stare
Don't be alarmed at me
It's so hard to wait.

I just can't seem to get movin'
Love me enough to begin
And i'll never forget you.
