should you find, there’s no answer, you can chalk it up to fate, that’s just the way it goes and should you find your plans have changed, like everything’s been rearranged, i know it might seem strange that’s just the way it goes took the plane, drove his car to southern california, then he, flew to the english coast, now he’s somewhere down in mexico went back up to san Francisco said “it hardly even felt like a trip” and sailed off to florida, cant say he didn’t try to warn ya you say you’ve heard it all before, but this time it’s gonna be different (told you so), but we’ve been down this road before, and i know you know, that’s just the way it goes you can run and hide or chase down the dream, go with the flow or try to swim upstream, everybody knows, that’s just the way it goes took the train on tuesday, then they crossed the border and when they, got to the other side, shopped around, got a little place on the corner, went back up to west virginia, i think he said he was headed for someplace like oregon or the rio grande nobody’s seen him nobody knows where he’s been it doesn’t matter if you can think that you’re right, makes no difference, why fight? you’ve got to roll with the punch, that’s just the way it goes you can punch the clock, talk the talk, study brahms, beethoven and bach, but it still might not rock, that’s just the way it goes you can think you’ve got the cat by the tail when, believe it or not, sometimes, you might not have a clue, that’s just the way it goes you can fall, stumble and trip, head first into the bushes, and somehow come out smelling like a rose, that’s just the way it goes

Pamela 02:32
Pamela All the papers say that its all over and here's the score but i don’t think that i don’t read them anymore. And if you should call my name then i’d be over, quarter to four, but i don’t think they’d understand us anymore Pamela. Oh Pamela, oh Pamela. In this great big world full of good intentions, mine come cheap, but i don't mean to say i never loved you, i remember. And if you could call what we had a first encounter, then i'd be glad but i never thought you'd ever love me i remember Pamela. Oh Pamela, oh Pamela. Do you remember? Or was it all only a dream? Oh Pamela. So if it seems right through like there's no gain, don't cross my name off your list, i'm the one you kissed, i remember. And now everyday i sit and i wait for your call, but i know that you’ll never give me all of your love. i remember Pamela. Oh Pamela, oh Pamela.

Tossed inside your waves of blue i knew i’d lost control what could i do, felt the pull and let go Crushed into the salty sand i knew your lush green foam your lush would pull me through, caught up in your sway In the under up above below me under in a green green dream Thunder crashing in the under i was splashing under in-between the middle thunder in the seam of gravity Girl I really love you from the bottom to the top The swivel in your hip won’t let me go Girl I really love you guess you know that i’ll never stop The secret in your eyes i need to know Crashed into your open arms were warm splashing free washing over me Felt the pull and let go Crossed between your deep caress i guess i lost track of the time Swept off in your sway When the sun went under falling in the wonder of your deep blue dream Thunder crashing up from under up between the wonder over under thunder under in the seam of gravity Up from the surf came the mist From the bottom to top I kissed her You turn around and whisper “Darling, just say when” I was thinking that I had a suggestion I was thinking of poppin’ the question when I heard you say “I think you missed a spot, could you start all over again?”

i still remember the love we had to hide the one i’d always thought that we’d found deep down inside but every single time the game you like to play i know you really love me but why do you act that way? i still remember the love we had to hide the one i’d always thought that we’d found deep down inside but every single time the game you like to play i know you really love me but why do you act that way? every single time you feel you have to say you just can’t seem to help yourself but why do you act that way? i don’t know why i try to understand but i can’t believe it i don’t know why i try to understand but you can’t—i just don’t why you can’t see but every single time the game you like to play i know you really love me so why do you act that way? every single time you feel you have to say you just can’t seem to help yourself but i love you any way

thought that you’d find fortune you fought your way inside now you’re running around in circles caught like a rat racing lost in the labyrinth you have to kill for your freedom said it was do or die gave you a gun and a flag to wave put you on the frontline lost in the labyrinth don’t go where he’ll never even know can’t tell what you find, understand or know don’t go where he’ll never even know can’t tell the line from the shadow storming the fortress think you’ve found the way inside but you’re running around in circles now you’re trapped like an animal lost in the labyrinth there’ll be no quarter and you’ll find out why when they print your name in the paper snapped by the camera lost in the labyrinth don’t go where he’ll never even know can’t tell what you find, understand or know don’t go where he’ll never even know can’t tell the line from the shadow in the shadows hiding in the shadows in the shadow

i’ve got the love if you’ve got the time i’ll bring the cigarettes and you bring the wine meet me after dark up on the hill, where the stars are bright if we get lucky, they wont blow up the world tonight they’re shooting rockets, rockets to the moon bet they find water on Mars pretty soon yes, we’d like to know if they’re gonna save us why are they all taking off, they know we’ll never make it no faulkner, shakespeare, no morrison, no stein more like Noah’s Ark just like the Bible designed did they just decide that we’re a waste of their time? Did they say, ”Let’s set the world on fire!” What if they, what if they have to get away for a while (just a little while) will they look down and smile when all the nuclear bombs go off cause they’ll be up there orbiting round and round i’ve got the love, if you’ve got the time i’ve got the metaphor if you’ve got the rhyme why they don’t believe in love they can’t be afraid to fall what they don’t know might not hurt them but it might kill us all they’re shooting rockets, rockets to the moon bet they find water on Mars pretty soon yes we’d like to know if we’re going to pay the price guess they just don’t want to fix this broken paradise

The Hill 03:37
Everybody wants to come to the top of the hill, I don't know, its just something. Started a long time ago, you can sit around painting the day. Walk up and see everybody, the sound of the street, you can see over every... If you come up to the place, you know there will be found, I don't know, it's just something. Some say, nobody knows, you can walk a million miles away. Somewhere the sound of the train pulls away, what was that you were saying? I've been on top of the world before. I've been on top of the world before, but not like this. Everybody goes to meet by the edge of the town, I don't know, it's just something. Outside in the sun you can listen to the boats float away. Somewhere the sound of the train pulls away, I guess I'll be staying. I've been on top of the world before. I've been on top of the world before, but not like this Look at me now, I'm floating across the floor, looks like I won't be 'round much anymore, anymore...
