Year Of The Horse

Sleep, baby sleep,
I know your day has been oh so long
Sleep, baby sleep,
I know your day has been oh so long
The night falls at your feet
Now the day feels so complete
Compared to darkness
Sleep, baby sleep.

Talk, baby talk
Sweet talk is all it's made of
Talk, baby talk
Sweet talk is all it's made of
Promises of the morning ways,
New beginnings for another
Day to spend together
Talk, baby talk.

Love, baby love
Has got me walkin' on these
Barefoot floors
Love, baby love
Has got me walkin' on these
Barefoot floors
Find the light
Surrounding you
Sleep the night 'til morning's dew
I will be here for you
Love, baby love.

Last night i was cool at the pool hall
Held the table for eleven games
Nothing was easier than the first seven
I beat a woman with varicose veins.

She stopped to see herself in the mirror
Fix her hair and hide heir veins
And she lost the game.

Next day i went to the dentist
He pulled some teeth and i lost some blood
We'd like to thank you for the cards you sent us
My wives and i were all choked up.

I recall how caesar and cleo
Made love in the milky way
They needed boats and armies to get there
I know there's a better way.

I saw the movie and i read the book
But when it happened to me
I sure was glad i had what it took
To get away.

Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away

I'm making another delivery
Of chemicals and sacred roots
I'll hold what you have to give me
But i'll use what i have to use.

The lasers are in the lab
The old man is dressed in white clothes
Everybody says he's mad
No one knows the things that he knows.

No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows

I'm sleepin' in every hallway
I just can't accept the stares
I'm using too many covers
I'm warm now so i don't care.

I'm thinkin' of no one in my mind
Sedan delivery is a job i know i'll keep
It sure was hard to find.

Hard to find. hard to find
Hard to find. hard to find

I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen.
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind.

I come down from the crooked mansion
I went lookin' for the d.j.'s daughter
Since that day i heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line.
Now, my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind.

Now, my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind.

I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen.
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind.

I'm a little bit high
I'm a little bit low
Hear you name wherever i go
I'm a little bit wrong
I'm a little bit right
Hear your name all day and night

When the music calls
I'll be there
No more sadness
No more cares
Let's think about living
Let's think about life
Like a comet painted on the sky
Like an old soul
Over darkness you'll fly

I'm a little bit here
I'm a little bit there
I'm a little scattered everywhere
I'm a little bit up
I'm a little bit down
I hear your name all over this town

(chorus)

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my indian rug and a pipe to share.

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen.

And maybe marlon brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the astrodome and the first tepee
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Pocahontas.
