I Know a Girl

 

I Know a Girl

 

I know a girl likes to dance and sing

This girl is up for most anything

I took her dancing on a Saturday night

And wouldn’t you know I got into a fight

 

Too many guys just hanging round

She got her red dress on her feet don’t touch the ground

Guy comes up he’s way over the top

It’s left up to me to make it stop

 

I know a girl and she’s so fine

I would love to make her mine all mine

But it’s just so hard to keep this girl in line

 

I know a girl likes to drive around town

Window open she’s putting it down

She’s so cute traffic grinds to halt

But she won’t admit it’s all her fault

 

I know a girl yeah and she’s so fine

I would love to make her mine all mine

But it’s such hard work to keep this girl in line

 

I know a girl likes to act so bad

She’ll give you the best time you ever had

She makes me dizzy with her crazy ways

Being with her ain’t no lazy days

 

She’s so much fun you laugh and scream

But you better watch out or she’ll end your dream

She’ll make you run and beg and more

But then turn around and show you the door

 

She’s so damn fine I can’t make her mine

She dances along to her own sweet time

No one could ever own this girl so fine

But it’s just so hard to keep this girl in line

 

I wanna make her mine

I wanna keep her in line

But she slips away

She slips clean away

 

Away, Away, Away   

 

(The first-person perspective needs to be read with a critical eye.)

Earth Song

 

Earth Song

 

Earth is that your voice I hear?

Are you whispering to me?

Do I feel your soul in mine?

Is your mind in my mind?

 

I sense your wide expanse

Your molten heart

Your halo of air

Your oceans, mountains and life

 

You sing to me of ancient times

You revolve in giddy joy

But you know you are fading fast

You know things have to change

 

You gave birth to us

You nurtured us on our way

But now we’re a rash on your face

We are slowly taking your life

 

You don’t want to die I know

You don’t want to be a barren place

You want to stay green and blue

You want to enjoy what you made

 

But now we have turned on you

We have fouled our only home

We have poisoned the sky

We have left you to wither and die

 

Earth is that your voice I hear?

Do I feel your soft touch on my face?

You speak to me of hope and fear

You want me to know my place

 

(Musical break)

 

Oh Earth I think I love you!

You twirling bright orb in space

At last I’ve found my love for you

I only hope it’s not too late

 

I hope I can ease your pain

I want to make bright your days

I don’t want to see you curl up and die

And leave a void in your place

 

Earth can you ever forgive me?

I know I have done you wrong

Please come back to help me

I promise I won’t destroy you again

Hazy Babies (lyrics)

Hazy Babies

 

I was driving alone along route 95

Lights were flashing and I started to dive

I told you I loved you and you said you loved me

And the hazy babies were nausea clothed

 

Oh-oh-oh don’t go-oh-oh

Don’t go oh please don’t go!

 

I was reading a book that made no sense

That’s when I saw a bird-cat jump the fence

I kissed you and held you and said your name

And the lazy babies were nausea clothed

 

Oh-oh-oh don’t go-oh-oh

Don’t go oh please don’t go!

 

I was taking a shower in a blizzard of dust

Everything was quiet in a town made of rust

You told me to wait till you returned to me

And the crazy babies were nausea clothed

 

Oh-oh-oh don’t go-oh-oh

Don’t go oh please don’t go!

 

I was swimming in gold on a rapier day

The sky was screaming to stay away

I couldn’t find you as I searched the streets

And the blazing babies were nausea clothed

 

Oh-oh-oh don’t go-oh-oh

Don’t go oh please don’t go!

 

I was falling through time on a flaming beach

I’d lost my way and had no more to teach

I saw you floating on a corner at noon

And the fading babies were nausea clothed

 

Oh-oh-oh don’t go-oh-oh

Don’t go oh please don’t go!
